She’s the only one I would say that I hope she gets lots of sponsored work so that she can be at home with her kids. Can’t even imagine the worry and stress of providing for 3 young children on your own especially when her late husband was the breadwinner. The kids need her at home after what they have been through and it’s all so recent.

I am in this vile woman's situation, having lost my husband 6 months ago and have 2 young kids... Iv commented on other threads, how I messaged her for support as did some of my friends and she completely ignored us, I mean I messaged her about 4 times she didn't care. I cannot understand any of this and how she thinks its normal to carry on the way she is. Regarding the play therapy I do this with my eldest and I have spoken to this therapist about how vunerable etc he is about how now will effect his future.. Is Rachel's kids play therapist not advising her to Stop parading their every move for the world to see.. I don't get it how is social services not stepping in..

The hauls etc.. She's really in a league of her own there a few tears and then boom selling more crap. I get how hard it is to survive for your kids and provide for them but the way she pries of people and then a big haul after the crocodile tears.. Its sick.

No picture of Daniel in the perfect bedroom.. Again don't get it...

The chain on and off mine never leaves me ever..

The constant gifting of things why doesn't she give them to charities or auction them off? I have done fundraising since my husband died.. I'm not saying I'm better but why can't she give back to the people that helped them so much but I guess after Belfast she shows her true colours.

We all grieve different but I for one don't want people to think all us widows are like Rachel. She is giving genuine widows a bad name. How is daniels family not stepping in, but I think they don't have a say in all this. She is doing so much damage to them girls in the long run and all she sees is the euro symbols.. I don't know how she is allowed to do this..

I do believe she is hurting its my first Xmas without my husband I'm dreading it but iv put up his tree his decorations that we bought as a family nothing is "gifted" my kids loved that tree..how is she putting up all this new stuff surely the ones they had with Daniel is what the kids would want.. Again don't know.. All i know is she is doing so much damage to them poor girls it breaks my heart

I’m trying to say this in a delicate way so here goes. I have every sympathy for her and the girls, they lost what seems like a good man, good dad etc in v tragic circumstances. It’s awful and youd have to have a heart of stone not to feel bad for her on that front.
But does anyone else find it a bit unusual that strangers are wearing jerseys in memory of someone they never met. It would be one thing to say to Rachel ‘were thinking of you today’.
But to put on jersey to commemorate and honour Daniel when you never knew him, and didn’t know his wife or kids until after he passed and even then only through a phone screen? Maybe I’m being harsh and it’s perfectly normal and I’m the one who is strange?
He was a private man and I think when he told her to set up the interiors page, he meant for her to talk about what she did with the house. I doubt he envisaged she would share intimate , private moments of him on his death bed, how he was in his final moments, what he wrote in his letter to her.
Thoughts?

So her husband set up the page for her called Rachel home decor and she changed it to RachelGorryx ? When she said she changed it to Rachel Gorryx , I was thinking “If my husband set up a page for me , and now he’s not here anymore , there’s no way I’d change the name , I just couldn’t , my heart would actually break even at the thought of changing it , because it’s a memory of him and I would never want to take a memory of him away “ So that really struck me as a strange thing to do , it’s just my opinion .
I was actually speaking to my husband about her story and showed him videos before, this was ages ago and I said to him “Look at this poor girl , losing her husband , my heart breaks for her , it’s absolutely awful” My husband wasn’t very convinced , he couldn’t get his head around the crying to hundreds of strangers on social media and other things, posting pics that perhaps should be private , he said “Maybe it’s for social media fame , for more followers, possibly in time cashing in on their story, don’t believe everything you see , watch in time , the true colours might show, I have a feeling she knows exactly what she’s doing ” and muggins here told him he was talking rubbish , because I felt sorry for her and I sent her a message , I lost my young brother as I mentioned before and I was trying to offer my support , but I was ignored every single time , not even an acknowledgement either , not even a tap to say she had seen it . Now I see others who have all been ignored too, but she’s well able to acknowledge the well known people and she’s well able to block people who don’t agree with her , she’s also well able to “I’d just said I’d come on , lads ye have me absolute stitches with yer messages” and sharing messages from others who are kissing her arse , people who she thinks will make her famous. She kinda makes me sick now to be honest and her going to that bperfect event . I haven’t seen my family in months , I couldn’t go to my own family members funeral , my mam can’t even be here for the birth of my baby ( who knows when her and my dad will see their grandchildren) my husband missed out on all the scans to see his baby so far . I had to go to a Fetal medicine ward for a serious , nerve wrecking procedure and my husband couldn’t come in with me , I had to go alone ... yep... on my own , because of covid . But shur fair play to Rachel , off enjoying herself in the middle of pandemic because she “deserves the night out”

Had to join in on this conversation. I’ve messaged Rachel so many times, kind ones of support and admiration. I lost someone close to me so I suppose I looked to her to help me through but her account has turned into a circus. It’s not just the launch, that’s annoyed me of course but I’ve been coming to this conclusion a long time now. The woman doesn’t owe me a response but it still bugs me that she never acknowledged any of my messages. Now today I see her “apology”. SHES the one who is upset??Sorry, WHAT?? She doesn’t get to be the upset one looking for sympathy. Why does it seem we have to tip toe around her feelings? Why is she suddenly the nations sweetheart? Fine, work with a company but she works with aaaallll the companies. It’s greedy. Is it just me or is it starting to appear like she uses her tragedy as an excuse? Horrible thing to say I know but that’s how it’s appears to me. Any negativity and she’s on crying telling us we don’t know what she’s going through. Eh, yes I do. She can choose her way of grieving and do what helps her but becoming an Insta hun? I’m not buying it.

I've been following her from very early. She was a different girl then. I taught she had set up the page as awareness building and a distraction.

I think the business plan all along was to build a platform and go after brand ambassador roles.

She signed to an agency before Daniel died. It was always going this way.

What value does she bring? She flogs whatever she is given. The AR agency clients are all morphed into one now. They all flog the same stuff.

When she first started her hair was always lovely and straight yet now we are to believe it's the crap she is peddling. Her teeth were always white but in enters Spotlight. She couldn't even do a charity post without being paid.
All her clothes came from penny's at the start but anyone that wants to pay her now she will wear their stuff.

False personality persona to appear sweet and innocent when realistically she gained a following to become insta famous.

The day she had the video up of her crying to her child was the finish for me. Her children are grieving too they don't need that splashed on Instagram. Then a few clicks later it was straight back to #ad.

I follow lots of accounts where they were set up in awareness building. Some of them get small gifts from time to time there is a huge difference to the fact she is flogging stuff she herself wouldn't buy. That's ultimately my issue with Bloggers. Everything is incredible once someone is paying them to say so.

I've been following her from the start and in my eyes, she hasnt put a foot wrong.
There is no manual for being a young widowed mum.
My mum was widowed very young with 3 kids to bring up. She didn't have time to hang around in widows weeds, she put her head down, worked hard to keep us and our house and did her crying at night when we were in bed.

So fucking what if rachel breaks down in tears when shes chatting to insta folk? Should her grief be hidden away like a dirty secret?
Why shouldn't she document their journey? Why shouldn't she show her husbands grave, it's his final resting place and means the world to her and their children. Why is it deemed to be offensive odd or unusual?

His parents fully support her as was evidenced when they were in a live with her. They have also been on her grid posts with her and she has said many times over that they are proud of her and treat her like a daughter.

She is making money for her kids and shouldn't be knocked for that. Her doing an ad is no different to any other widow heading in to work the beauty counter in debenhams and selling make up or working in a clothes shop selling clothes.

The girl has been dealt the most shitty of hands and yet has to deal with idiots saying shes relieved her husband is dead/isn't crying enough/is crying too much etc.

As for the video of her wee girl, I love the smell of my dads aftershave and would always gravitate to Any man I smelt it on. Grief is normal and natural. People need to stop being so British and uptight and stop getting on like they're having an attack of the vapours when a widow isn't acting like queen Victoria

Mentioned before I lost a sister over 20 years ago in a water accident in cork. By god if my mother had divulged our grief as children or her as a parent it would deeply affect you strangers knowing about you. I only feel able to say it here because we are strangers really. I can’t even talk to my hubby about it properly without still feeling as distraught as I was when I was 8. It stings my heart when I hear her sharing personal info because that is fucking private and sacred

Ah no. This is the worst blackfishing I’ve ever seen. How can she actually think it is acceptable to post herself looking this colour?
Really? I mean her tan is very dark yes, but she is showing it before its showered off. I know she's not liked all that much but I think accusations of black fishing is a bit of a reach. Especially since a few of us had to google it to find out what it was!
