About this deal

It has certainly helped me - still processing the death of my best friend at the age of 24 from cancer.

Shortly afterwards she made the brave decision to share her story, and she spoke with beautiful poignancy through her blog and podcast, You, Me and the Big C . It was through her death that I heard about this podcast, and I feel as if I have got to "know" Rachael backwards. But the past four years have taught me resilience and not to worry too much about things you can’t control. He shared with us his harrowing journey since his wife’s diagnosis, how life has changed and his advice for others on coping with grief. So when you can, try and delve back into your memories, Freddie, and picture Mummy laying face-to-face with you on the bed, tickling your arms and telling you how very very much I love you.She then moved to BBC Radio 5 Live, at first reading the news on Richard Bacon's show, where she became the straight talking foil to Bacon on The Special Half Hour Club. It was you and Daddy who kept me strong throughout all of this, and I will be with you always to give you the strength that you need through any tough times.

Rachael Bland (née Hodges), was a Welsh journalist, best known for presenting news on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC 1's North West Tonight . I have listened to the amazing podcast with admiration, in the darkest of days Rachael has inspired others to talk about cancer and has been incredibly brave in doing so, with nothing off limits. Now aged five, he started in reception in September last year, although Rachael got to see him in his pre-school jumper just before her death.The husband of BBC broadcaster Rachael Bland, who died from breast cancer in 2018, has revealed their six-year-old son has asked his new partner if she is 'his mummy now.

Steve Bland has now spoken for the first time since her death, appearing on the podcast You, Me And The Big C, which was created and presented by his wife. Whether they want to move on two months or 20 years after someone’s died, they don’t deserve judgement. He has now revealed how his son has adapted to the new woman in his life, telling The Mirror: 'They get on so well. To read more about the person behind the beautiful smile and voice has been a most wonderful privilege. You were 14 months old and at the very start I was so full of fierce intention that we could get past this.Steve, 40, from Cheshire, lost his wife Rachael to breast cancer in September 2018 which she documented on her BBC podcast You, Me and the Big C over a two year period. Now that may make me sound like a grief tourist but that is the element of her story that I was interested in reading.

Steve had been a co-host, replacing Rachael, on the popular You, Me and the Big C podcast alongside Lauren Mahon and Dame Deborah James, a. But believe me, I tried EVERYTHING I could to stay around for you, and for every moment I could eke out of this life. It’s a collection of all those stories your parents tell you over the years from their point of view, mixed in with all the advice they give you.

We could see which way it was going on the Friday before she died, so my sister went to the school to get a jumper,” says Steve.
