- Grief does not go away. My Dad died in April 2014 and I’m still reeling. He was an actor and he travelled extensively. I missed him terribly when I was a child.
- Love does not go away. Dad and I were very close; from the moment I was born we had an instinctive, ironclad bond. Our relationship was not always easy, in fact we went to therapy together in an effort to improve it.
- Anger is ok. There are periods when I’ve been furious that he is not here anymore. For a long time I couldn’t watch TV dramas or films because so many actors have worked with my dad.
- The best tribute to a lost loved one is to live well. Facing the rest of my life without my dad can be overwhelming. When the grief is too much to bear, I try to remember what he would want me to do.
- Laugh. There’s humour to be found everywhere, even on your darkest days there’s something to have a joke about. Laugh long and loud and make other people laugh.
- Be yourself. If someone doesn’t like you they’re either stupid , blind, or they’ve got bad taste. Accept who you are, you’ve got no one else to be. Don’t try to change yourself, there’s no point.

- Don’t worry about other people’s opinions. Everyone’s a critic, but ultimately what they say only matters if you let it. Don’t believe your own press. People can just as easily sing your praises as they can tear you down.

He was the actor, Bob Hoskins, so there was considerable public interest in his death. I wrote a blog post called 11 lessons from my dad, which I published the day after he died. I didn’t expect much to come from it, I had written it as a tribute to him and I thought that it might get a few views from close friends and family.
