182: After Georgia Lillie's husband died, she wrote a book in his honour

About this episode

At just 19, Georgie had finished school, bought a house, and met James... the man she wanted to spend her life with. Fast forward a few years, and her and James had gotten married, and were busy raising two beautiful boys on his family's farm. Life was pretty picture perfect, until it wasn't. In 2017, James was diagnosed with terminal cancer and was given just 6 to 12 months to live. In our chat, Georgia bravely shares her story including what it was like losing her husband, what she told her kids, why she decided to stay on the farm, and the heartbreaking, but beautiful, inspiration behind the children's book she wrote which is called 'My Dad is an Eagle Now. This is story. Are you a rural, regional, or remote business owner looking to turn your passion into profit? Look no further than EJS Business Services.
