‘And then, a split-second after that, I would remember what had happened. ‘Oh,’ I thought, as the tears began to fall. ‘That’s why’.’
She said: ‘During that long, lonely week, I had to keep things together for the sake of our children, Joe and Gracie, who were then 10 and eight.
‘They needed to look after them. I had to wake them up and make them breakfast and take them to school and, in a way, the regularity of that practice kept me going.
‘He picked me up in the morning.’
