Ashley’s immense grief
Losing one’s parents unexpectedly puts the individual into great shock, grief, and confusion. The same has been occurring in the life of Ashley Roberts. Just last month, Ashley lost her father at the age of 70.
It was not a natural death. Ashley’s father died by suicide and had been successful in his attempt. Ashley has revealed that she is in deep pain and confusion ever since.
Ashley has confirmed his death on her Instagram and had uploaded a throwback picture of her father hugging her as a child. The picture reveals the strong love and bonding between the father-daughter duo. She captioned the picture thus:
“With great sadness in my heart, I wanted to share with you that on the 19th of March – after a long battle of physical and mental heath – My father took his own life.”
She continued to express her deep agony:
“The past 3.5 weeks I’ve been in a state of shock, confusion, questioning, pain so deep in my guts it’s been hard to come up for air. Feeling like I don’t know how to move forward from here. What am I supposed to do with all this?”
She continued:
“For now, I sit here with this pain – Inviting it ALL in. To teach me, to heal me, to rebuild me.
“If any of you have gone through something similar. I understand and my heart goes out to you.”
She concluded:
“I will be sharing more on this in the next days, weeks, months to come – as raising awareness here and outreach for those left behind is so so so important. But for now I am grateful for your love and support. Ash.”
