I tried not to ever get to a point where I was out of control or in a place where it would scare them to see my emotion.
But I think it was really important that they did see me occasionally responding to Matt's death with honesty.
And a lot of that was sadness because they felt it too.
And I think if I maintained like this composure, it wouldn't have given them permission.
It's sadness, but it's also love.
absolutely and they need to see that totally they need to see that I am grieving their dad and I miss him too and so I did cry in front of them but I tried to keep it relatively contained you know not sort of I had moments where I shut myself in our walk-in wardrobe and just fell to my knees and wailed but I tried not to do that in front of the kids I think that I can remember one episode where I lost it and I actually write about it in the memoir it was
an incredible moment because they actually came and comforted me.
I thought I'd scared them, but the two of them just came and hugged me.
And so in a way, you know, that shows how important it was that the three of us bonded together through the experience.
But
I think there were also times when I would take myself out and there was a park where I'd sometimes walk, sometimes run.
And there was a spot there, a really private spot down by the harbour.
And sort of being close to the water, weirdly, was quite comforting for me because obviously Matt had drowned in the ocean.
The harbour felt safe.
It wasn't, you know, a surf beach, but it was still the same body of water kind of flowing in and out.
And so sitting by the water and...
watching the light playing on it sometimes you know it was pretty painful but I would find it a release to go and just you know sob privately
It is.
It kind of brings you back to life in a funny way.
And also the ocean was a place that Matt loved.
