About this listen

The Michaelmas Daisy: a contemporary story of loneliness, loyalty, love, finding new friends, and hope.

Beverley may be dead, but that doesn’t make it any easier to let go. She watches over her husband and daughter, sharing their pain, laughter, fears and dreams. As she watches, memories of her own life and love for her husband bring comfort and tears in equal measure.

Her daughter, Philippa (58, divorced), looks after her ailing father. She does so willingly, but caring for him 24/7 takes great patience and compassion, and such devotion is isolating.

Into their home comes Kaska (39). She provides respite care, brings kindness and energy, and helps Philippa realise it’s ok to still want some life of her own.

As her father’s condition worsens, Philippa’s dedication is tested to the full and difficult choices are necessary.

The Michaelmas Daisy: written in honour of those in need of care, and those who care for them.
