‘Dying is hard’

“Dying is really hard, I’ve been consumed by anger this week, in all honesty, I’ve been a real bitch,” she said.

“I keep shouting at people and pushing them away. I’m angry at what’s happening to me. I don’t want to die.”

The mum of two has previously told how she is keeping her kids, Hugo, 14, and Eloise, 12, away during her darkest moments and now she’s said that has extended to friends who she wants to ‘remember her as she was’.
