S2 - EP16 - Kassie McCleeary

In this episode of Widowed AF, Rosie Gill-Moss sits down with Kassandra McCleary, an American living in Paris who unexpectedly lost her husband to a lung cancer at just 37.  Their love story began when Kassandra moved to France, where they built a life together, filled with travel, laughter, and a vibrant community of friends. But when her husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer, their world changed overnight, further complicated by the isolation of the pandemic. Kassandra opens up about the intense experience of caring for both a newborn and a terminally ill partner, navigating each day with a strength she never knew she had. From finding unexpected support in friends and neighbours to preserving her husband’s memory for their daughter, Kassandra’s story is one of resilience, love, and the quiet power of community. Rosie and Kassandra’s conversation brings to light not only the heartbreak but also the ways we find hope and connection during life’s most challenging times. If you’re navigating grief, supporting a loved one, or looking for stories of strength and survival, Kassandra’s journey will resonate with you. Her reflections on balancing motherhood, loss, and the importance of keeping memories alive for her daughter offer powerful insight and inspiration.
