Iain Dale, left in tears by heartbreaking call, gave inspiring words on loss and grief | LBC

This heartbreaking call about losing your loved one left Iain Dale in tears - but grief expert Lianna Champ gave some invaluable and uplifting advice that everyone needs to hear.

Jackie from Chelsea told the tragic story of losing her husband of 40 years. She had enjoyed a wonderful day with him, going for a swim, having fish and chips, and when she returned from the theatre that evening she found he'd passed away on the sofa.

Trying desperately to revive him, she said, "I was doing everything wrong." A neighbour helped by calling the emergency services.

"I couldn't let him go and I'm still like that after nine months. " Jackie said, teling Iain and bereavement expert Lianna Champ she copes by taking three and a half hour long walks everyday along the Embankment.

"I talk to him every day, is that normal?" Jackie asked.

Lianna told Jackie it is fine to talk to her husband each day, "That will keep him close."

Jackie said it is so hard to come home each day to an empty flat and while she doesn't have any family she is supported very much by friends - "but you hate talking to them about it because they've heard enough, you know?"
