For Freddie: A Mother’s Final Gift to Her Son Audiobook (Free)

The inspirational memoir from the founder from the You, Me as well as the Big C podcast, Rachael Bland. Courageous and life-affirming, this is a mother’s last gift to her son.

My beautiful son, I therefore wish that I didn’t have to keep you now. But believe me, I tried EVERYTHING I possibly could to remain around for you personally, and for each and every moment I possibly could eke out of the life. From the outset, it was not a good fight. My cancers was too big, and too intense, and we didn’t start on an even playing field. You had been about For Freddie: A Mother’s Last Gift to Her Son fourteen months older and at the start I was therefore full of brutal intention that people could get previous this. I would lay you in your cot each night and silently communicate from my mind to yours, ‘I will do this Freddie, I’ll gladly take whatever they throw at me if this means we can stay jointly’.

In 2016, much loved broadcaster and journalist Rachael Bland was identified as having cancer. Shortly later on she produced the fearless decision to talk about her story, and she spoke with gorgeous poignancy through her blog page and podcast, You, Me and the Big C.

Having been told that she only had a matter of a few months left to live and writing this in what had been sadly her last days, Rachael provides her warmth, courage and humour to the page within this heart-warming and heart-breaking story. Part memoir, part advice, For Freddie wonderfully encapsulates the grace and fearlessness where Rachael lived her life. This is her legacy and an incredible final gift to her son.

Includes moving contributions from Richard Bacon, Tony Livesey, Emma Barnett, Shelagh Fogarty, Mark Pougtach, Chris Stark and so many more.
