He was my husband, and he died. There is a huge difference.'Loving someone who has died doesn't stop because you're in a new relationship. Grief isn't something you 'move on' from or switch off. You learn to carry it alongside the life you continue to build.'Will understands that, just as he still loves and remembers his own dad who died when he was 21.'I would never expect him to stop talking about his dad, and he would never expect me to stop talking about Tom.'My past, my present and my future can all exist together. They're not mutually exclusive.'
