Rachel Gorry shares update on how her girls are doing four years after losing their father to cancer

by · RSVP Live

Rachel and Daniel Gorry’s daughters were aged just nine, five and three when he sadly passed away from oesophageal cancer on 1 April 2020, aged just 29. Now, four years on the girls are (almost) all grown up and making their parents proud every day.

Speaking to RSVP, Rachel opened up about how the girls have coped in the years following Daniel’s death, “They’re great, thanks so much for asking. I feel like they have come on so much in the last couple of years.

“I had them in play therapy before Daniel died, and then they continued that after he passed away. I really feel like it helped them get their little heads around daddy’s passing.

“I feel like they’re after getting so big. The girls were nine, five and three when Daniel passed away and they’re 14, 10 and eight now and they do myself and their daddy so proud every single day”.

Both Rachel and the girls had therapy leading up to and following Daniel’s death, where Rachel learned the tools to help her daughters grieve in their own way.

“No two people grieve the same and I find with the three girls they all grieve, and are grieving, so differently. Their play therapist was honestly fantastic and she gave me the tools that I needed for each child.

“I think the fact that we speak about Daniel all the time massively helps them. They love telling stories about their daddy. I was always so open and honest with the girls. We talk so openly about Daniel in good times and when we’re missing him and when we’re feeling sad, as well”.
