The surviving parent: with Stacey Heale

What's life like as a surviving parent? How do you navigate your children's emotions AND your own?


In this week's episode we're taking a new perspective on life as a member of the DPC and we got down and griefy with the PHENOMENAL Stacey Heale.

If you don't follow her on Instagram yet (what are you doing?) find her at stacey_heale.


Stacey's husband Greg Gilbert died a year ago, leaving behind two children aged 5 and 7.

Their children were just 1 and 3 when he was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in 2016, leaving them both reeling and suddenly having to navigate marriage, parenthood, work and life with a terminal diagnosis looming over them.

In this episode, Stacey speaks frankly and openly about life as the parent who has to carry on. She takes us on a journey many of us having been on before.

  • The conversations parents have behind closed doors after such a diagnosis
  • How to tell the kids and when to tell them
  • Picking up the responsibility of caring for yourself and your grieving children
  • The worry for your children as they grow up
  • Questioning whether you've done the right thing
  • Loneliness
  • Using sex and food (cherry bakewells and wine in particular) as a crutch
  • What she hopes to hear from her children as they grow up
