Episode Family Flowers Only with Ann Higgins
This week, I sit down with Ann Higgins , a woman who has known profound love and deep loss throughout her life. Anne shares her journey from losing her brother and mother, to the heartbreak of miscarriage and failed IVF. But at the heart of her story is the incredible bond she formed with a young boy in her class while working as a teacher. He was living in residential care, and Anne and her husband felt an instant connection. What followed was a long and difficult road to foster and eventually care for him permanently, becoming a family in every sense of the word. Their story captured the hearts of the nation when they appeared on Room to Improve , but tragedy struck again when he suffered a traumatic injury and passed away. Ann speaks with honesty, warmth, and strength about grief, motherhood, and what it means to give your whole heart to someone, no matter how long you get to love them.
