Story

This isn't about me...this is about saving parents go through the trauma that this lady had to endure on the sudden loss of both her son & husband..............read a post from her Facebook page

When I lost my Georgie on the 22nd February 2012 my heart was shattered. However, 5 days later on the 27th February I lost my beautiful husband and best friend Paul. My children lost their wonderful Daddy. Paul walked out of our home and fell to his death from a bridge. Losing our son George 5 days earlier effected him beyond words. The trauma and shock of seeing his son fall ill and die in front of him was too much to bear. He blamed himself for George's death, he felt as a Daddy he should have saved his son and he felt a failure to his family. All completely irrational but when you are in the depths of despair you believe anything. I truly blame the lack of support available to our family, after suddenly losing George, for my husband's death. Nobody visited, called or offered us any advice or support. I truly believe he would be here today to watch his two children grow up if there had been a support system in place. That is why I am determined through 2 Wish Upon A Star to continue supporting families across Wales who suddenly lose their child. Nothing can bring back my beautiful Paul. However, knowing his life has left a mark on so many gives me the strength and determination to make a difference. Paul and George are my wings, my courage and with them tighyly tucked in my heart anything is possible. Thank you to everyone for your support the last 4 years personally and for believing in 2 Wish Upon A Star. Together we will make that difference! R xxx
