Jeff Brazier is writing a grief guide following Jade Goody's tragic death

Jeff Brazier has revealed that he will be writing a grief guide to help those mourning the loss of a loved one, using his personal experience of losing his ex-girlfriend, Jade Goody, to cancer.

Jade tragically passed away on Mother’s Day 2009 at the young age of 27 following a battle with cervical cancer, with Jeff raising their two sons, Bobby and Freddie, since.

After helping the boys deal with their grief, Jeff wants to do whatever he can to make things that bit easier for children going through what his sons were forced to endured.

And announcing the upcoming release of self-help book The Grief Survival Guide: How to Navigate Loss and All That Comes With It, Jeff revealed that writing helped him heal.

He shared: “Writing this book has brought me a privileged view not only of grief in its entirety but how we react as humans when processing loss.

“There’s the value of grief which differs from one person to the next, then vitally, there’s what we personally add to it or what the grief combines with, that ultimately decides which journey through grief we experience.”

The star has been taking to Twitter to seek advice from his followers whilst writing, revealing that his deadline is in March.

He shared: “Privileged to be the holding the responsibility for the clear and honest translation of all things bereavement.

“About to write the next chapter of #GTSG ‘What bereaved children want/need from a step-parent’ Any views/experience on this please.”

Jeff and Jade’s son Bobby is now almost 14 years old with Freddie approaching 13.

The Grief Survival Guide: How to Navigate Loss and All That Comes With It will be published in hardback on 29th June 2017
