In this bitesize moment pulled from the Laura Dowling Experience back catalogue, comedian and content creator Dympna Little shares how humour helped her family carry her mother's terminal illness and final days.


She describes laughing together even in the palliative care room, the moment her mother noticed and said \"it's lovely,\" and the voice message her mother recorded that became her legacy. Tender, warm and bittersweet.
