To deal with the unimaginable grief of losing her friend – and her uncle, who had died a year earlier – Cat started swimming in the wild.
Actor Cat White, 27, took up wild swimming to ‘feel something’ after the death of her friend left her numb with grief
Cat, pictured at one of the lakes where she swam as part of her journey of healing, says she had no idea her friend wanted to take his own life – or that he had mental health struggles ‘In it, I really focus on what overwhelming grief looks like, but there’s also a focus on healing, and a girl who starts cold water swimming – because for me, that saved my life,’ Cat explains.‘As a child, swimming for me was a place of joy and fun. I was good at it and competed, even representing my county. It was only as I entered my teens and looked around I began to see that it was just not a space where I felt comfortable.
‘There was something about the freedom of the lake – being alone with my thoughts – calming my busy, grieving mind.
