George this is some of the most beautiful, raw and human writing I have ever read. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this with us. I’m sure it will help others who are going through similar experiences. Mostly though, I think, it will help your wider family and friends to feel a bit closer to you all - it gives us a connection, and that is a treasured gift. I wish beyond anything it wasn’t so, but it is, so thank you for allowing us in x
Thank you Carly, for reading and for your appreciation of the words, however painful they might have been to read. It’s a great comfort to think they might help others and to know they have enabled you to feel closer to what has been happening. Imogen encouraged me to write and share them in the first place so I am reassured it’s what she would have wanted. x
Thank you Sarah. I imagine it can’t be easy to read. But writing about it is the only way I’ve found to make it bearable to experience. One of Imogen’s final gifts to me: the confidence to write and the permission to tell my side of her story. To think it might be useful to anyone else is as humbling as it is comforting. And if it’s a gift then it’s a gift from her.

Oh George. I'm so, so sorry.
Thank you for all this writing. It's also a gift to the other husbands, fathers of young children who will be saying goodbye to their beloveds.
