and I can pretty much guarantee that whatever you’re feeling right now, I’ve been there too.
Let’s start with losing people who you love – one of the hardest life experiences to bear.
My first major loss came when I was just 21. I am the eldest of three, with a younger brother and sister.
In 1993, my brother and father were involved in a motorbike accident. My brother was killed.
My father was severely disabled by his head and brain injuries and was left with challenging mental health problems.
This completely shattered my world. I never knew pain like that could exist. It felt like my life had stopped still, whilst the rest of the world was spinning around at an alarming rate.
