The Loose Women panellist lost her sister Julia in 2019
has opened up about the most "difficult year of my life". In 2019, the Loose Women presenter was left heartbroken following"The hardest year of my life was when my sister died," she shared. "I can't even tell you what year it is, because I've blocked it from my memory really."Speaking about how her her son and husband gave her a new sense of focus, the TV star added: "Eamonn was amazing during that time and Jack and then work.
"I needed something to get up for in the morning and also that I could shut off the grief for a bit and have a cry in the shower and go, 'Come on, pull yourself together, work now.'" Ruth had previously revealed she had considered giving up her TV work in the aftermath of Julia's death because she felt too grief-stricken to continue. "I didn't feel I could ever go back to work again," she told"It seemed wrong to be cheery onscreen when inside my heart was breaking. I just thought being happy would be a lie – and disrespectful to my only sibling."
The presenter added: "Eamonn pointed out that he was, in effect, losing not one, but two of the most precious people in his life – Julia and me. He showed me how I had so much to live for in Julia’s memory – and beyond.
