We Share One Soul is the deeply personal story of Mandy Griffiths, a remarkable woman whose life was defined not by the cancer that ultimately took her, but by the love, courage, kindness and connection she gave to others.
Written by her husband, Peter Griffiths, this memoir follows Mandy from childhood and sporting achievement through her lifelong passion for hockey, a career devoted to helping people facing significant challenges, close family relationships and the ordinary moments that made their life together extraordinary.
In 2020, at just thirty-two years of age, Mandy was diagnosed with bowel cancer. What followed was a six-year journey involving major surgery, chemotherapy, stomas, repeated hospital admissions and terminal illness. Through it all, Mandy remained determined to live rather than simply exist, continuing to work when her health allowed, staying connected with the people she loved and creating memories whenever opportunities arose.
Peter also writes candidly from the perspective of a husband and carer, exploring medical self-advocacy, the physical and emotional demands of caregiving, anticipatory grief, voluntary assisted dying, death, bereavement and the guilt that can remain when love is unable to save the person you would have given anything to protect.
At its heart, however, this is a book about Mandy rather than cancer. Testimonials from family, friends, colleagues and hockey competitors reveal the extraordinary influence she had on those around her and the countless ways she made people feel valued, understood and included.
Part love story, part tribute and part call to live deliberately, We Share One Soul is written for anyone whose life has been touched by love, cancer, caregiving, grief or loss - and as a reminder that a person should never be defined by the illness that ended their life.
