"Today marks another year since Paul died. 14 years since he was with us.
Another year since the moment our world shattered for a second time, just five days after we lost our beautiful George.
I was suddenly left alone with our two children, all of us heartbroken, terrified, and trying to make sense of the unthinkable.
In those early days, we needed someone to come and sit with us. To talk to us. To simply be with us when we were drowning in grief and shock. But no one came.
There was nothing in place to hold us when everything fell apart.
Paul had no mental health concerns before we lost George, none. He was a wonderful dad who adored his children. But he watched his son die suddenly, and in his pain and the weight of responsibility he felt as a father, he didn’t know where to turn.
He was broken, isolated, overwhelmed and in a world like the one we live in today, I will never understand why there was no support to pick us up. Why wasn’t anyone there to help him survive that trauma?
Since that day, I have fought and will continue to fight. I will keep shouting about the lack of support that contributed to Paul’s death, because he should be here.
He should be watching his children grow up. He should be laughing with them, guiding them, loving them. Instead, his absence is something we carry every single day.
This is why 2wish exists. To make sure no family ever feels as alone, forgotten, or desperate as we did.
We can’t stop sudden deaths from happening, we wish with all our hearts that we could, but we can be there.
We can walk into those darkest moments and offer love, compassion, and support. We can make sure no family is left sitting in silence with their grief and fear.
Paul and George’s legacy is woven through every family we help.
And as long as I have breath, I will keep going, for them, for my children, and for every family who needs someone to sit beside them when the world breaks."
