Delving into his personal journey, Harry continued: “That’s the hardest thing, especially for kids, I think, which is, ‘I don’t want to talk about it because it will make me sad’, but once realising that if I do talk about it, I’m celebrating their life, then actually, things become easier’ as opposed to this ‘I’m just not going to talk about it, and that’s the best form of coping’, when in fact it’s not.”
He conceded that it can provide temporary relief “for a period of time” but warned: “You can’t suppress it forever. It’s not sustainable. And will eat away at you inside,” he concluded: “No-one wants to be in the position where they are forced to talk about the very thing they don’t want to talk about, especially when every defence mechanism in your mind, nervous system and everything else is saying ‘do not go there’.”
