Sara’s Story
After only dating her boyfriend, Neal, for only six weeks, he fell ill with a brain tumour. Sara told him, “Just get better, I’m here for you,” – not realising what this would mean for her own life.
As Neal continued to battle with the disease slowly deteriorating, Sara gave up her career as a graphic designer with a large London investment company to care for him for 13 years.
During this time Neal had a stroke and became bedbound for years, needing full-time nursing care. Due to the stress and pressure of caring for him, Sara became both mentally and physically unwell.
In wanting to continue caring for her husband, Sara then found new strategies to regain her health and enjoy life again, even whilst caring for a terminally ill husband. During this time, she also became involved with local and national charities.
Since her husband’s passing, Sara has been a frequent public speaker, helping transform the lives of Carers, their health and wellbeing; She is much interviewed for media and podcasts, raising the profile of Carers.
