You’re Gonna Want To Hear This · Hannah Richell on Surviving the Worst Day of Her Life & Finding Love Again · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

And so I opened the door and there were two police detectives in plain clothes.

One of them looked like she'd been crying.

And they said, are you Hannah Richell?

And I said, yes, I am.

And they said, I'm really sorry to tell you that your husband's been in a surfing accident down at Tamarama Beach.

And so I said, is Matt okay?

Thinking I would jump in a taxi and go to the hospital wherever he was.

And they said, no, I'm sorry to say he died.

And that was the moment really that life changed forever for us.

No.

I mean, honestly, I can say it didn't.

I had this feeling welling up of me of something really bad.

But I don't think you ever expect that very worst thing.

I truly didn't.

Did not believe, even when they said Matt has died, I didn't believe it.

I couldn't take it in.

It was just a rupture of what felt real.

I couldn't digest it.

Do you remember what you did next?

It's a bit blurry, but I do remember the police telling me that because the accident had happened in a very public space, media crews had arrived at the beach very quickly.
