Read Ben’s Story
Ben’s mum died in August 2018, just three weeks after she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
He describes the months afterwards as a “whirlwind of emotions” and says he struggled to process his grief alone.
“I had suicidal thoughts and didn’t know how to cope with what had happened.”
After reaching out to Cruse, Ben found support that helped him begin to understand his grief and move forward.
“Those sessions gave me space to talk openly and make sense of what I was feeling.”
Today, Ben support Cruse through fundraising in memory of his mum and wants others facing grief to know they are not alone.
“I wanted to honour her memory in a good way.”
