Ryan Curtis | I Used To Be...A Mummy's Boy
When Ryan Curtis lost his beloved mum Ann to cancer, his world shattered. In this deeply moving episode, Ryan opens up to Dean James about the extraordinary bond they shared—the laughter, the love, and the quiet moments that made her his everything. Diagnosed and given just six months to live, Ann’s final chapter was devastating, yet filled with grace. Ryan shares the raw truth of navigating her end-of-life phase, the heartbreak of saying goodbye, and the daily reality of living without her physical presence. But he hasn’t let go—he’s carrying her spirit forward, proudly continuing to be a Mummy’s Boy in every way that matters. This is a story of grief, resilience, and the unbreakable thread between a mother and son.
