Cal Wilson’s husband shares heartbreaking tribute to comedian’s death from cancer at 53: ‘We miss you so much’

Cal Wilson died in October at the age of 53 after a battle with a rare and aggressive form of cancer.

Her husband Chris Woods shared a touching tribute to the comedian on her Instagram page on Saturday and spoke about the grief he and the couple’s son, Digby, are feeling.

“Today marks a month since we lost you my sweet Cal,” he began the post.

“Not a moment goes by that Digby and I don’t think of you and the wonderful, beautiful wife, mother, best friend and person we lost,” he continued.

“The pain of losing you is something I’ve never experienced before, and it’s impossible for me to put into words how Digby and I felt.”

“Today marks a month since we lost you my dear Cal,” he began the post. “Not a moment goes by without Digby and I thinking of you and the wonderful, beautiful wife, mother, best friend and people we have lost.” Pictured with husband Chris

“Although Digby and I live in a world that is constantly changing, for us it is a world that has changed forever. You brought us light, love and laughter every second of the day. The words, the crazy voices, the jokes and the love. So much love. We miss you so much.’

Chris concluded: “The love shown to you blew us away. We want to thank everyone for the beautiful messages and sharing their stories about Cal.

“These are memories and memories that we will cherish forever and something that Digby will be able to look back on for years to come with love – and pride – for his incredible mother. We thank everyone for their love and support. Open the curtains wide.’

Cal was suffering from a rare and aggressive form of cancer when she died at the age of 53, reports Daily Mail Australia.

Wilson was surrounded by her loved ones when she died at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney.

The Melbourne-based comedian was in Sydney filming The Great Australian Bake Off when she was rushed to hospital.

It is understood that Wilson battled cancer in secret, revealing the details of her illness only to close family and friends.

She was hospitalized two weeks before her death, with entertainment reporter Peter Ford suggesting that the cancer was related to her lungs.

In the hours after her death was announced, Great Australian Bake Off judge Darren Purchase said the comedian looked “very ill” when he last saw her.

“I’m sorry this happened to such a good person and I can’t get over the last time I saw her when she was very sick,” he wrote.

“I wish I could hug her and tell her how much she means to me and so many people.”

In a poignant interview on the Bakeology podcast just months before her death, her good friend Adam Miller asked Wilson what boy Digby would remind her of.

This moment suggested that her friends knew about her battle with cancer, even though she kept it a secret from the public.

Cal said she hoped her son Digby (pictured together) would remember them baking pancakes together on weekends during a poignant interview in August

“What will Digby remind you of?” asked Molenaar.

“I think it’ll be for pancakes since it’s a normal weekend thing,” Cal replied.

She also joked about how well the couple baked.

“And when you serve the pancakes, you throw them like a Frisbee, the first couple, and then if you put maple syrup on it, of course you don’t,” she said.

“We bake a lot of gingerbread together.” “Well, we start making it together and he runs off with the lump of dough like any good kid should,” she joked.

Wilson spoke of her great love for her husband, who works in education.

“Chris is friendly and a man of his word,” Wilson said earlier this year.

“One night when he couldn’t make it to a performance, he told me he had to go because he wanted to see one of his students run cross country. “I thought, ‘Wow, here’s a man who decided to become a teacher, not because of the money, but because he really loves it,'” she added.

Wilson met him in a bar in the fashionable Melbourne suburb of Northcote.

“I had just gotten out of a bad relationship and we met at a mutual friend’s gig. I thought, ‘He could be a great fling.’ Twenty years later we’re still together with a 14-year-old son,” she told the Sydney Morning Herald in July.

Wilson has also worked as a radio and television host, actress and author. She appeared on the television shows “Spicks and Specks”, “Would I Lie to You” and “Good News Week”.
