BAFTA winner has been speaking about his daughter 12 years on from her death
EastEnders star Jason Watkins shared the heartbreaking impact of the loss of his young daughter to sepsis while appearing on Good Morning Britain today.
"It's hard isn't it for us as parents to feel that we... that's one of the painful things, is think, did we do everything that we [could've done]?" he said to presenter Susanna Reid. "It's easy to blame yourself, well I still do, because I was there when she was discharged the second time...
"We are an imperfect family who have survived the worst thing that can happen to a parent. It’s indescribable, the sense of guilt, loss, the absence of your child, the light of your life is gone and you don’t know how you can go on." After Susanna, 52, responded by saying she felt "very affected" by the couple's harrowing story, social media lit up with similar feelings, as one Good Morning Britain fan wrote: "Just feeling the utter devastation of Jason and Clara. No words."
