Show Notes
**TW Cancer/ Stomach Cancer**
On today’s episode I speak with Julie Vandingenen about her wonderful fiancé Louis.
Julie and Louis were childhood sweethearts meeting as teenagers in school in France. They lived a full, fun-filled, adventurous life together for the 9 years they had. Louis died at just 26 years old to stomach cancer, and today Julie tells us about how she lived through that grief at such a young age, and how initially it drove her to move as far away as possible, to now in recent years where it brought her to set up her business Lovingly Box – which sell beautiful care packages for the harder days in life.
This episode will bring you tears and bring you joy, thank you Julie for sharing with me.

More from life's too short
Christmas can intensify grief in ways you don’t expect. For many people, the festive season brings memories, longing, and a deep sense of absence - especially if you’re facing your first Christmas without someone you love.
This week’s episode is one I’ll carry with me for a long, long time.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Annabelle Reynolds for an incredibly honest conversation about complex grief - the kind of grief we don’t often talk about publicly. Annabelle shares the story of her father, a deeply kind and vibrant man whose life changed dramatically after the 2008 recession. Over the years, addiction, shame, and difficult family dynamics reshaped their relationship long before his death from esophageal cancer in 2019.
In this solo episode, I reflect on the idea of signs; the small, sometimes strange ways we feel our loved ones near after they’re gone.
In this week’s episode of Life’s Too Short, I speak with Morgan Cummins; an executive coach and recruiter who lost his dad suddenly more than 20 years ago. What began as an unimaginable shock became, over time, one of his greatest teachers.
