I desperately loved my husband and I wanted to share everything together, and I thought that we were a very good team.

It took a long time to understand why people were so interested in me, but I assumed it was because my wonderful husband had done a lot of wonderful work leading up to our marriage and our relationship. But then, over the years, you see yourself as a good product that sits on a shelf and sells well. People make a lot of money out of you.

My husband asked for the separation and I supported it. We had struggled to keep it going, but obviously we'd both run out of steam.

I love meeting people and helping them.

Perhaps we're too embarrassed to change or too frightened of the consequences of showing that we actually care. But why not risk it anyway? Begin today. Carry out a random act of seemingly senseless kindness, with no expectation of reward or punishment, safe in the knowledge that one day, someone somewhere might do the same for you.

All people want to be touched.

A mother's arms are more comforting than anyone else's.
