The actor Greg Wise's sister Clare died in September 2016 from cancer, she started a blog post to update family and friends, which Greg took over writing when Clare became too ill.

We met before lockdown to talk about Clare’s death, their relationship, navigating cancer, and post-traumatic growth.
