Tearful Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis says 'I so don't want to be here' as he opens up about losing his mum when he was 11
on whether he wished he had the opportunity to seek counselling following the tragic events, Martin replied: "Of course."
"Initially I said no because I didn't want to explain why I was relevant to become a patron, it was that visceral for me that I was like: 'I can't do this.' I'd never spoken about it. "I'm better at it now and I can now admit it. I couldn't even tell anyone that I'd been through what I'd been through and I can now admit it."
He added: "There's so much that you have to learn about grief, I was talking about somebody the other day in this sense and I said one of the lessons I learnt is you feel guilty about being happy. He explained: "What happened to me was, three days before my 12th birthday, I went to Sunday school, or Jewish Sunday school, as it was."Someone strange picked me up and took me home. I knew them but it wasn't what I was expecting and when I went home I was told there had been an accident."
"And my grandmother, my Dad's mother, said to me, 'It's alright, she'll be here for your Bar Mitzvah,' I'm a Jewish boy, that happens when you're 13, and I thought nothing of it.
