I was friends with a girl growing up who lost her mum to heart failure when she was 9. Her mum had an undiagnosed heart condition apparently and they were all at the dinner table when it happened.My best friends husband died in bed one night aged 40 from a brain haemorrhage. Being a nurse like me she dragged him onto the floor & did CPR whilst waiting 4 the ambulance. Their 2 sons 11 and 9 stood at the bedroom door watching.
They had a really rough few years, emotionally & financially the school was great but counselling for the boys was by winstons wish the charity. Theyre now in their 20s and lovely lads.
They didnt have the support Harry had, or the access to the best therapy, or the best schools, the finances, they didnt have the extra worries other kids have. I am NOT negating Harrys grief but he really needs to stop looking back and whining and blaming everyone. He ought to be grateful he has the life he does. No work, transatlantic travel, famous friends, therapy and money.
But you know what? He seems much more miserable than my best friends boys
Her little sister was only 5.
They was raised by her grandparents essentially as her dad couldn't cope being a full time working single parent.
Both my friend and her sister grew up to be lovely mature women who don't have any bitterness towards their father and are super close to each other.
I am sure each one of us know at least one person who has unfortunately lost a parent early in their life but majority of them don't grow up to become entitled whinging todgers. I know Harry will always mourn loss of his mother and I feel sorry for the 12 year old boy but the thing is Harry isn't that boy anymore, he is a 40 year old father of two who should have got his act together long time ago. If his own brother could do it, why couldn't Harry?
