Scarlett Moffatt has shared an emotional update after announcing two family bereavements within days of each other.
The former Gogglebox star described it as the “hardest month” of her and partner Scott Dobinson’s lives following the deaths of her grandad and Scott’s mother, Janice.
‘It’s been the hardest month of our lives’
Posting a series of photographs showing the couple over the years to her Instagram page, including one with their son Jude, Scarlett reflected on how they have supported one another through their grief.
She wrote: “It’s been the hardest month of our lives so grateful we have each other. I now understand that grief is really just love. It’s all the love you still want to give, but no longer can.”
Scarlett said she had known Scott since she was 17 and spoke warmly about the life they have created together.
She continued: “When grief arrives, it has a way of making you hold on to each other even tighter. Amongst the sadness, we’re finding little pockets of joy, mostly thanks to Jude & bump and looking at old photographs and memories made. Sending so much love to everyone who knows this feeling. Be gentle with yourselves.”
