Real Talk with Holly & Ali

We hope you enjoy this episode of The Australian Women's Weekly Love Stories... Jim Rogers met his wife Lorna in a small English town. The two connected over a shared obsession with VW Beetles. They married, had three children, and moved to Perth chasing sunshine. Life was good until Lorna was diagnosed with melanoma and tragically died within a few years, leaving Jim a single father to three children under nine. Eighteen months later, his parents sent him on a holiday he didn't want to go on. There, he met a man named Tyler. What followed was a relationship neither of them expected, kept quietly in the background of family life for years, and one that's now lasted 26 years. In this episode, Jim and Millie sit down with Tiffany Dunk to talk about the process of writing Jim's memoir together: the hardest parts to put into words, what it was like for Millie to hear new stories about her mum and her dad's early relationship with Tyler, and Jim's more recent diagnosis of young-onset Alzheimer's, which he's chosen to speak about publicly rather than hide. Plus, Jim talks about the podcast he co-hosts with Hamish MacDonald, Hold the Moment , and what he hopes it can do to de-stigmatise Alzheimer's and help people with the diagnosis feel less alone. Moments you’ll hear: How Jim met Lorna, and the VW Beetle that started it all Millie's memory of the day her dad told her and her siblings their mum had died The holiday Jim didn't want to go on, and the man he met there Millie's first inkling that her dad's friend was more than a friend The proposal on top of the Empire State Building, and the surprise engagement at home Jim's young-onset Alzheimer's diagnosis Why Jim decided to write it all down, "warts and all" Photo Credit: Rob Palmer You can listen to Jim’s podcast, Hold The Moment , here.

Support services and crisis helplines in Australia - The Australian Women's Weekly In 2009, Gavin Larkin sat his wife Maryanne and their closest friends down at the dinner table and told them about an idea he'd been carrying since his own father died by suicide years earlier. It was a simple question that could change everything: "Are you okay?" Allison "Ally" Langdon, a journalist and friend who was part of that conversation, knew instantly she had to help get the message out. What followed was R U OK? Day which has since grown into a national movement. But what followed was something that neither Ally nor Maryanne could have imagined. In this episode, Ally and Maryanne sit down with Tiffany Dunk to talk about the early, uncomfortable days of getting a newsroom to even say the word "suicide," what it actually looked like for Ally to show up for her friend in the hardest years of her life, and the quiet, everyday ways two women have held a friendship together, and a legacy alive, for close to two decades. Moments you'll hear: The dinner table conversation in 2009 that became R U OK? Day Why newsrooms wouldn't touch the word "suicide," and the pushback Ally got Maryanne on losing both Gavin and her eldest son Gus, and why moving into her late son's bedroom with her two younger kids helped them all grieve The small, practical ways Ally and their friend group showed up during the hardest years What it means to keep telling stories about someone you've lost Nearly 20 years on, what they still hope for each other Visit the R U OK?
