This was one of the hardest podcast episodes I have ever recorded. But I did it because I think it is necessary.
I won't watch the recording back because I know I'll get cold feet and tell Bri to delete it.
So. I hope it's okay and that it isn't too upsetting for you-my sincere apologies if it is. My intention is never to make you feel sad, only strong. Hugged.
Confident.
Brave enough to speak your truth.
To always say what you wish to say to the people who matter the most.
Because the world needs truth.
The world needs real.
The world needs people like you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening and watching. Thank you, Brian, for your support, and thank you to the many, many people here on RU-vid who leave such wonderful comments and give me the courage and strength to show up. I love each and every one of you ❤️
Yours,
Liz x

Thank you for sharing Liz. If there is one thing I would share in return is: never forget the power of hugs when you cannot find the words. A hug is a magic key to strength, to courage, and the ability to express from the heart.

I came to this podcast with some trepidation, thinking of your mother Liz and what the news would be. So there I was in tears, for you all and remembering the loss of my parents, and then you said my name! I thought that didn't just happen, so I had to go back a bit, gather some composure , then replay it and listen carefully. It was very strange, I'm 67 and this is the very fist time I have been watching and listening via a screen and heard my name! After I left that message, I did think I must ask Oli, our eldest son how do I get a User Name, because, as you say, I did feel vulnerable. To think that a comment could help you be more vulnerable, yourself, is very humbling! Also Liz, you said our surname correctly, bloody hell I've yet to meet a New Zealander who doesn't struggle with our name. Both the spelling and pronunciation 😏 And no, I don't mind, as you say, we are out in the public domain, or some such thing. All that aside, I'm so sorry that the news is not good and that these weeks ahead will be an emotional roller coaster. To have loving and strong family support is a huge blessing . And further on, you will take comfort in the talk that you had with your Mum. I love the comment from @lorrainegulde1290 Brave birds still fly through the Fog. And I thought of Emily Dickinson's poem Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all... ❤‍🩹

Went through with 2 Cancer cases in my mums siblings, one just before Christmas, and one 2 years ago. I turned them to Natural remedies,late,but it made them last a lot longer. Had I got to them earlier, I believe they could have been saved. My heart goes out to you Liz and Brian, much love from me to you.

Aww Liz it's totally heartbreaking😢, I've been there & it is the most difficult time for you & your family. I lost my brother & dad to cancer, both in the UK. The many flights over there to help care for them I was thinking what do I say. Just say what comes from the heart & be honest. It's not easy. Spend valuable time together & say all the things you want to say. My brother & dad were told they had weeks left. Both were very agitated because they didn't know what day they were going to die. We played their favourite songs, reminiced. Sometimes Just being there & holding their hand is enough. Big hugs to you Liz🤗 My life is not the same, grief comes in waves. It gets easier & I have the most wonderful memories.

Sending massive hugs to you and your family. Liz, never apologize for sharing your words and being emotional. I understand how hard this is. I am not good at saying the right thing in these situations but wish I had told both my parents what I was thinking and feeling when they were sick with cancer. Take care and look after yourselves 😢❤ Thank you for sharing. We are all with you on this journey.

Just wrote a massive comment then lost it so rather than write it again l will agree totally with you you must say everything before it's to late l watched both my adopted parents die they are not happy memories, as one of those who see you guys about fairly often everyone here on face book can know l will pass their hugs on in person because even though we have just been talking about what to say sometimes a physical action can say volumes ❤

I had been wondering how you were getting on. It is such a strange time to go through. The last time I was with my Dad when he was fully aware, he squeezed my hand. His was shaking with Parkinson’s. I knew that he was telling me that he was frightened of dying. I squeezed back. We held on for a minute or so. It was more meaningful than the “I love you” said after each visit. He couldn’t have had a long meaningful conversation but I wanted him to know that I was there for him and would do my best for him. Thank you for sharing. I loved your hand holding. Sending much love across the ditch!

I didn't with my father. I got caught up being busy with his care, then didnt realise that he had slipped into unconciousness. The chance was gone. My mothers Alzheimer symptoms caught me by surprise, worsening, due to a bad and unexpected fall and she also slipped into unconsciousness, so quickly, then the realisation, again, it's too late. My son, killed two yrs ago, after having gone through so many yrs with cancer, a serious accident, business loss during Covid, a breakup and all involved with that, causing so much heartache, despair, which caused him to collapse at home, PTSD. Things I wanted to say, but felt that I couldn't talk to him about, until his physical and mental health improved, to for now just give him some peace and space. To heal. Then to lose him, words unsaid, in such a sudden and tragic accident. The loss some days unbearable. I so agree with your words here Liz. And Brian. Never put it off for fear of it not being the right time. Never. Don't do that to your loved one, nor yourself. They need to hear it, as much as you need to say it. Thank you both. 🌹🌹🕊
