In this episode, we speak to Jenna, whose husband Dom had a brain haemorrhage two years ago. We heard Dom’s story in Series 2; this episode explores the experience from Jenna’s perspective as his wife and as a mum to their three children.

Jenna talks about:

• What family life was like before Dom’s brain haemorrhage.
• The day Dom became unwell and how she recognised that something was seriously wrong.
• The shock of finding out he had suffered a brain haemorrhage.
• What the first days in hospital were like and how she managed the uncertainty.
• Supporting Dom while caring for their three children.
• How the experience affected their children and how they responded to Dom’s recovery.
• The impact of the brain haemorrhage on Jenna’s own mental health and wellbeing.
• How the experience affected their relationship and family life.
• What recovery has looked like for Dom, including fatigue, brain fog, headaches and other ongoing difficulties.
• Living with the reality of an invisible illness and why recovery can be difficult to see from the outside.
• The support Jenna and her family received and the support she feels is needed for partners and families.
• What she wishes she had known when Dom first became ill.
• What she would say to other partners and families going through a similar experience.
