He proposed before my mum died | Jess Mills

When Jess's mum, Tessa Jowell, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, the whole family made sure that one big occasion would happen before Tessa died.


Author, musician and charity founder Jess Mills, has written about the year she became a mother - which was also the year her mum got brain cancer…


Two such huge life moments at once led to many acts of kindness. Not least a friend giving Jess a gift that helped her process the birth of her second child, and friends and family creating a wedding they would never forget.


Jess also speaks with heart and warmth about the female friendships that have shaped who she is today.


You can read and listen to Jess's book We Are Each Other now.
