Family Flowers Only with Charlotte Finn

11 Jan 2026 · 1 h 09 min · S3 E31

This week I sit down with Charlotte Finn, who speaks openly about losing her dad Michael to oesophageal cancer. Charlotte was just 13 when her dad was diagnosed and 14 when he died. Now 19 she reflects back on that time with remarkable honesty and insight.

Charlotte shares what it was like to be a teenager watching a parent become ill and how even knowing he was sick she never truly believed he would die. She speaks about the shock of losing him so young, the way grief showed up during her teenage years and how that loss has shaped who she is today.

It’s a powerful conversation that offers a rare and important perspective on parental loss through the eyes of a young person.
