Explaining the death of a parent to a child

The husband of the murdered MP Jo Cox has spoken of a "less joyful" new chapter in her family's lives.

Brendan Cox said she would have wanted their two children - who are three and five - to now be "bathed in love".

Ben Brooks-Dutton's wife Desreen was killed in a sudden car crash in 2012. Their son Jackson was two years old. He told Paddy O'Connell how he tried to explain what had happened to his son.
