Mother’s Day can be a difficult time for many, and no one knows that better than Simon Thomas.
The former Sky Sports presenter has revealed how his son Ethan “sobbed uncontrollably” as they marked the first Mother’s Day since losing mum and wife Gemma, last November.
Writing on his blog, A Grief Shared, Simon, 45, explained: “Seeing your child sobbing uncontrollably is something that is always hard to see and so very hard to deal with, but to see them crying over something you have absolutely no power to change is heart breaking.”
In the post, entitled “I want my mummy”, the TV star went on to explain that after putting Ethan, eight, to bed, he heard his son crying.
Simon writes: “I ran back up and he was beside himself. As I held him and kissed him I asked what was wrong.
