‘At first it’s devastating, [then] it isn’t so bad – you get to assess your whole life because things can’t get any worse.
‘I just couldn’t hold it back anymore – you try to be that brave person for everyone especially when you know people need your strength. But at that one moment I just broke – and I couldn’t contain myself’.
However the WAG says there was actually a positive outcome to those dark times.
