‘Just found out her boyfriend’s [death]… he was gutted about what happened. I’ve just been reading Aaron’s Instagram, the posts about what he was writing before he took his own life and it reminded me so much of how I felt about what happened when my girlfriend died…
‘A lot of the things he was saying were so similar to what I was saying. I feel like it’s so sad… as well and I wanted to put a message out…
‘If you’re going through something like that when you lose someone you love, who you spend all your time with, there’s nothing worse…
‘So helpless, so confusing, so impossible and I wanna let people know you can get through it and it feels impossible and things do. It gets easier and if you ask someone who’s going through depression…
‘You need to ask for help and speak to someone you love and get everything off your chest or speak to a professional who you don’t know from Adam and just get everything you need off your chest and just iron out the creases in your mind…
‘Taking your own life is not the answer there’s helplines you can call for free counselling on the NHS. Taking your own life is not the answer because you’re gonna leave other people with your loss…
‘I know that doesn’t matter at the time. It’s really hit home and broken my heart to see what that boy was going through…
‘Let me send this message to you tonight please speak out and don’t be shy, please speak out and talk to somebody a lot. People love you.’

Lizzie died at the wheel of her car on the M62 near Gildersome, when she was returning from work in Manchester and appeared to fall asleep at the wheel before hitting a tree. Doctors were unable to save her after she was taken to hospital.

Through the years, Tom has shared touching images of Lizzie with heartbreaking captions as he paid tribute to her.
In 2016 he penned: ‘I don’t want to go into detail on how or give a big emotional speech because everyone who knew her and who knows me and my family knows how bad we miss her and she is very loved everyday…
Throwback: Tom has often marked the anniversary of Lizzie’s death with tribute posts and also spoke about his grief in 2018 following the death of Sophie Gradon’s partner Aaron Armstrong
‘So many things always pop up to show me her beautiful spirit is still around. Losing someone you love is the worst most helpless feeling you can ever experience, but take it from me after losing many people I care about – in time it does get easier to cope with and u will learn to deal with and accept it…
‘You will be able to smile thinking of the amazing memories they gave you and the times you spent together. You will think of the lessons they taught u and the affect they had on you as a person rather than dwelling on the pain that they are gone…
‘It’s not easy and the pain won’t ever leave but anyone u lose who loved you would want you smiling I think. So smile if you can. God bless you Lizzie, you will always be in our hearts and on our minds xxxx Thankyou for everything. (sic)’
