This emotional story documents Marina and her children's escape from Ukraine.
War broke out the day her mother died. Marina then had to try to organise a funeral and somehow get her daughter to her home town instead of on her own in Kyiv, all while the invading Russians advanced on her town.
Travelling first to Poland with just one passport for her but without ones for her two children, then the Netherlands and finally to the UK. Marina tells of her shock when she first realises that yes, she is now a refugee.
Far from her husband and her children's father this story shows the resilience, hope and strength of one mothers determination to lead as normal a life as possible under stressful times. A story that we should all listen and learn from.
