138: How Linda Goldspink-Lord survived the loss of her daughter
Linda Goldspink-Lord has endured unimaginable pain. She suffered a health crisis after burning the candle at both ends at home and at work, and then soon after she lost her mum to cancer. But 10 years ago Linda was dealt the cruelest blow of all when her 13 year old daughter Molly died in a quad bike accident on their NSW property. Linda's story is one of grief and trauma, but it's also about how she's managed to crawl through the darkness as she calls it, the inspiration for her incredible book. The work she's done to save herself, save her marriage and her family is quite extraordinary and our chat is as uplifting as it is heartbreaking. This is Linda's story.
