It’s been 10 years since her death, but jade goody’s sons are still learning how to cope.
Jeff Brazier may have only dated Jade Goody for two years, but in that time they welcomed sons Bobby and Freddie, binding them together forever. So when Jade died from cervical cancer in 2009 at just 27, Jeff, now 39, was left to pick up the pieces…
‘As much as I try and be all and everything I can for them I can never replace their mum,’ said Jeff. ‘It’s a sense of identity that they lose because you find out a lot about who you are in life through who your mum is and who your dad is.’
Bitter feelings
Jade, who shot to fame on the third series of Big Brother in 2002, was diagnosed with the disease in 2008, and by then it was too advanced to treat. Jeff previously revealed his thoughts on what stopped Jade from seeking treatment earlier, saying, ‘We were no longer together when she got ill so I don’t know whether it was forgetfulness or fear.
‘Jade was this amazing, larger-than-life character and she had so many wonderful qualities, but organisation wasn’t one of them.’
