Facing Death With Dignity: The Most Life Affirming Call You'll Hear
21 February 2017, 13:05
This is the caller to James O'Brien who Chris Evans called the "best caller ever".
As James was discussing how you face death with dignity following the death of Steve Hewlett, Helen in Edinburgh called to tell LBC about her husband Keith, who died of cancer two and a half years ago, aged just 46, leaving behind two young girls.
And she explained that knowing he was going to die changed the way they lived their lives - it washed away the minor niggles that people argue over. Listen to her amazing story below, which made James dewy-eyed.
Afterwards, Helen tweeted:
Hey guys, it's about the simple things, let's try and remember that more. Big love to @mrjamesob for taking my call today X pic.twitter.com/MInSYA8A3n

Listeners responded in their droves, with TV presenter Chris Evans tweeting to say:
@mrjamesob Best caller ever.

And other listeners revealed the call made them consider changes to their own lives.
The lady on @mrjamesob's show is making me think we should all live our lives with our mortality in mind. Absolutely life affirming radio.
