Christine Dawood has opened up about losing husband Shahzada and son Suleman in the OceanGate Titan submersible implosion.
A woman has shared her heartbreak following the loss of her husband and son. Five individuals perished when OceanGate's Titan submersible catastrophically imploded nearly three years ago.
They had embarked on the craft during an expedition to observe the wreckage of the Titanic. Tragically, it suffered stress fractures and imploded at a depth of 3,500 metres, immediately claiming the lives of everyone aboard. At first, when contact was lost shortly after the descent began, relatives clung to hope for 96 hours, representing the calculated timeframe of the craft's oxygen reserves.
Devastatingly, wreckage was found on the ocean floor as it became clear that the craft had imploded during the initial hours of its descent. Everyone on the submersible was killed instantly, including Christine Dawood's husband, Shahzada, and her 19-year-old son, Suleman. Speaking on ITV's Good Morning Britain on Monday, May 11, Christine discussed her bereavement, reports the Mirror .
When questioned about how she avoided feeling furious with OceanGate, after inquiries revealed the disaster resulted from 'critically flawed' safety practices and negligent management, she responded: 'What would it serve? What would the anger serve?
'Anger is part of grief, if you go to the grief cycle, anger is a part of it. But it's just part of it. I won't want to get stuck in it because it's a part of a whole circle where you have to move on. It's not good for me.
'There are moments where I'm angry, yes. But, at the world and myself and anything, yes I do. I don't want to reside in that anger because there's so much I can still do to help others.
'There are other people to live for, and if I'm in this bitter and angry phase, then I don't know, people will stop talking to me, and I love talking to people! So I try not to stay angry because it's not helpful to me.
' While chatting, Ed recalled another interview Christine gave shortly following her husband and son's funeral. He remarked: 'The thing that really affected me was the interview you did with the documentary journalists after the funeral.
'You felt that you should do this interview; they asked you difficult questions, but they were doing their job. Then afterwards, the journalists got together and said that there wasn't enough emotion.
' Christine responded: 'It really did cut me, because I was in shock. It was also my birthday, so everybody reacts differently to a crisis or grief. I was in shock, I was frozen, therefore I wasn't able to cry.
'I wasn't able to express my feelings because I was completely frozen, which is one of the grief responses. Apparently, that wasn't good enough.
' Christine informed Ed that had she shed tears, she would've been accused of being overly dramatic. She added: 'There is no right way to grieve.
' Good Morning Britain is available to watch weekdays on ITV from 6am.
