I’m the same my husband died suddenly in June leaving me with 2 young kids. I have reached out to her so many times and she has just ignored me, everyone was telling me to follow her she is great etc. I could never understand how one minute she is crying at his grave and the next flogging something. I find her to be extremely cold and heartless. I know grief hits people in so many ways but with all the support she has I thought she would have passed some help on but she doesn’t seem to care about anyone but herself. She isn’t the nice nice girl she plays out.

See I'm in 2 minds about the whole Christmas decorations stuff. I love Christmas and have told my family before that if I die before them, especially when the kids are young, I want the house decorated. And if I die around Christmas time then leave them all up. But i doubt very much they would be replacing all the things I have bought throughout the years, they have memories attached. Nor would they put it all over the gram
I dont agree, my only child died 5 years ago, we didnt decorate for the first four years after...we couldnt face it, we just ignored christmas as it was our childs favourite time of the year! Last year we decided to decorate to honor him, and REALLY, we know thats what he would want us to do....BUT, i couldnt use the decorations we always had, the memories of them and christmases past would have KILLED me...we bought all new, and have just taken them down again today! I will always keep our old decorations, but am not strong enough to see them again yet, maybe in years to come... And i certainly dont post about such things on the gram, cry and wail into my phone for all to see, some things should be kept private in my opinion

OK....

I'm sorry BUT going to an event at this time is bad.

Not wearing a mask or practicing social distancing is bad.

Mingling with people (less than 2m apart) who just flew in from a Red List country (England) is bad

Trying to play it off as "OMG we didn't know how crowded it was gonna be" is the worst.

Have a bit of self respect and dignity at that point to say "Ok there's too many people here and I don't feel safe". But no, that BP cheque is too good to pass up.

Pathetic from all of the influencers who went.

Really expected more from Rachel, especially after losing her husband to a terminal illness a mere 6 months ago. You'd think she'd have more respect for Healthcare Staff and sick people than to be carrying on with that shite

Pathetic

Just came across this review on the hotels tripadvisor page. Do they really think they gain customers by allowing a blogger to show off their free stay? I suppose this reviewer was a begrudger too 🙄

For me, I honestly think it's a kick in the teeth to all of the hse workers that fought to keep her husband alive. It's an absolute disgrace. She has updated the world of Instagram on her husbands illness and her grieving and received so much love and words of encouragement but has now put other peoples husbands, fathers, mothers, sisters etc. at risk without a second thought. Its shocking

Long time lurker, first time poster. Why the f*ck are they all apologising to everyone they 'offended'?

Nobody is offended, we are downright fuming that these people have put the lives of innocent people at risk, that businesses will potentially have to close because of their fame hungry greed.

Every single one of them should be isolating for the next 2 weeks and their children should not be allowed to return to school for the next 2 weeks either.

What a bunch of self entitled p*icks

I’m sorry but if the memory of Daniel and the engagement and Christmas is a special time for them, why relegate the decs he bought to the shed and instead replace them with dozens of new ones which mean nothing from a sentimental point of view only grabbing
I do understand this, i lost my only child in an accident 4 years ago, was horrific....Christmas was his favourite time of the year our house used to look like Santys grotto, if something didnt move, it had a decoration on it! Since his death, not one decoration has come down from the attic, and i dont think they ever will again😭 EVERY decoration has a memory attached to it, myself and my husband just cannot bare to look at them....Every day has been hard since he died, but Christmas just kills us, i wish i could sleep from halloween to Jan 2nd, and make the heartache go away😭

I don’t mean to be cruel here at all right.. but she’s posted that her sister had a pic of Daniel in her bouquet to walk her down the aisle. Now if she had planned to have him walk her down the aisle as she isn’t in touch with her father that’s one thing, but would it not be a bit odd to have a pic of your late brother in law in your bouquet otherwise? As horrible as this sounds, it comes across like Rachel thinks people are a lot more affected by Daniels passing than what they probably are. Don’t get me wrong, it is heartbreaking for his family and close friends, but they’ve all kept going the last few years and are probably remotely ok by now. But it’s like Rachel expects everyone’s worlds to have stopped turning without him. While his passing was horrible and sad, I don’t think it’s the monumental thing she thinks it is for everyone else. Her life has no doubt changed forever, as have those of his parents etc but even his friends, they still have to get on with their own lives and I get the impression she thinks they’re still in bed grieving every single day. I understand her sister was probably close with Daniel of course but I just find it a bit odd that she almost makes every occasion about the fact that Daniel isn’t there rather than the occasion. I understand she would be noticing it and I’m sure others would too but she makes such a big deal out of it rather than getting on with whatever it is she’s doing, like she reminds everyone else about it even if it’s an occasion for someone else.
but in the same breath she’s well able to go out and have her big events and nights out where she’s the star of the show and Daniel isn’t mentioned (which is fine) but when the attention is on someone other than her then it’s brought up that he’s missing and it’s sad for her etc?? I just don’t think I’d expect my sister to make reference to my late husband on the happiest day of her life or make part of her wedding about him. I’m sure she wouldn’t have done it if she really didn’t want to and the picture wall was a nice touch for those who had passed away, I just think the bouquet and Rachel making a point of it was a bit odd And pointing it out publicly kind of takes whatever special little touch it was away from it. Maybe I’m the only one who thinks that though, just my thoughts over the last while!

I’m not a massive fan of hers but I do think it’s not truly fair to judge how someone grieves.
My incredible husband died last May after living with stage four bowel cancer for four years. Our daughter was only ten months old when he was diagnosed. I spent those four years living an actual nightmare. I have deep rooted trauma due to the situations I found myself in. In his final months, I had to carry him to the bathroom and watch him as he deteriorated. I wouldn’t wish it on my worse enemy.

I am approaching his anniversary and, even though I am devastated, I cannot help but feel total relief every single day. I no longer have the fear that the person living with me will die and my daughter and I are creating a beautiful life just for the two of us.

I am sharing this because many people around me have been angered by my happiness recently. They don’t understand how full on it was living with that for years and, in all honesty, I find the devastation of losing my husband more manageable than the trauma of having him here.

I do find her behaviour rather strange though and I am wondering when I will be contacted to do clothing hauls!

I feel sorry for Daniel that he was married to someone who never thought for one minute how it must feel to be told at 29 years of age and a father of three kids, that you’re going to die. From the outset, Rachel has placed herself as the victim in Daniel’s story. She is a victim yes but she is not the victim, Daniel is. She has made every single thing that happened to him about herself. She is so desperate to be seen as inspirational and strong that she has placed herself front and centre of Daniel’s tragedy. Yes losing your husband at 29 is horrendous but she is not the one who lost her children or her life. Daniel is the one who died but ultimately it’s Rachel who wants to be seen as the victim and it’s Rachel who wants to be seen as the inspiration. She’s no more inspirational than the millions of other people who have to live with the burden of tragic circumstances, but do so quietly and alone without needing to be told daily how amazing they are. Yes she now has to rear three kids alone but she also has a lot of support, financial and physical that other people going through her situation and worse do not have. She has placed herself as a martyr and she truly thinks she is the only one who has experienced tragedy. I cannot believe she never once thought about how Daniel might have felt hearing that he is going to die a young man. That is self obsession on another level.

Daniel is the inspiration. He was a young man who built his family a home after being told you won’t see them grow up in it. He carried on and was strong until the bitter end. He seemed to have done a lot for his family and thought of every milestone they might need to hear from him and wrote them letters. He was inspiring, strong and selfless in the face of death despite being so young and losing out on so much. The poor guy.

I'm sitting at my phone is such disbelief, I lost my husband 5 months ago and I'm sitting on my sofa with my pj's and crying my eyes out. This woman is a disgrace. Dancing and twirling selling cheap tat clothes while pretending to mourn her late husband. I think she has actually lost the plot. The poor kids being exploited for whatever means necessary just to make some money.. I do not get this woman. She is callous and ruthless and will exploit anyone to become the nect "insta hun". Everyone grieves in different ways but jesus christ I think it's disgusting the way she is carrying on what must Daniels family think looking at this.... Sick. Also in her bedroom I have noticed there is no pic of Daniel near her bed like nothing... She is a cold cold woman

Afaik, pieta house is paying for the €4 donation posts being put up....🙄
Despite usually having around €5m in petty cash going by their yearly accounts, and the CEO paying herself a lovely €120k per annum. In addition to the fact that at least 5 other members of executive management are on over €80k per year. The full time salary for a Psychotherapist in Pieta House is €24k per annum. Before you donate to anyone look up the CEOs salaries.. 😉😉

I am disgusted, and I cannot believe that a woman with 3 small kids, who has firsthand seen what hospital staff do and have done for sick people, who had an extremely high risk vulnerable husband herself when he was alive could be so selfish and so irresponsible in her actions to go to Belfast and be a part of this shit show. Talk about shitting all over every fucking front line worker that has risked their families lives by going to work every fucking day for the last 7 months. How dare she or any of them. But for her to have first hand knowledge of palliative care and cancer treatments and still go and contribute to this disgusting event, risking so may peoples lives. This is life and fucking death..... This is spreading this disease that's can and has killed people. People are dying. Every single one of those brats should be reported to the guards, and fined.... Something has to happen with this complete disregard for vulnerable people in our society and healthcare staff bursting themselves and risking their lives to care for people with covid. I will never buy another bperfect product again or support anything she promoted. I am appalled.

@Hearforthegoss Rachel is a grown woman and knows better,,,, she is a mam before anything else, no way in hell would I put my kids at risk never mind anyone else. The number of cases in the North is shocking and she along with the other "influncers" didn't give a shite.

I lost my partner to a brain tumour when I was 22 with a young baby,, no way in hell would I risk his health my family or mine for a few likes on the Internet..
