Episode Losing My Autistic Husband To Brain Cancer - Holly Matthews
In 2017 Holly’s husband Ross (who was also neurodivergent) died of brain cancer. Since becoming a widowed single Mum at just 32 Holly has worked tirelessly to help people to feel ‘more happy and less crappy’ using her brand The Happy Me project.
