Monty Python comic Michael Palin, 80, has shared his deep sadness after the loss of his wife Helen Gibbons just a few weeks after they marked their 57th wedding anniversary in May last year. Helen was Michael's first love and he once affectionally called her "the bedrock of his life". Now, almost a year later, the famous traveller and Monty Python star says he still finds it hard to believe she's gone.
He says his life feels "unreal" without her and despite having many close friends around him, the loss of his wife has left a huge hole in his life. "It's not easy. It is an unreal world you enter.
Someone you have been with so long and every reference point in your life is connected with that person... and suddenly they are not there, [but] you kind of fool yourself that they are there." Helen, who shared three children with Michael - Thomas, William, and Rachel, - was 80 when she died on May 2, 2023. She had kidney problems and was in a lot of pain before deciding to end her treatment with the support of her family and doctors, reports The Mirror.
The couple first met when they were 16 on a family holiday on the Suffolk coast.
When announcing her passing last year, Michael remembered the first day he saw her, saying: "We were both 16, and we married in our early 20s... Helen was the bedrock of my life. Her quietly-wise judgment informed all my decisions and her humour and practical good sense was at the heart of our life together." Now, he finds comfort in knowing that his beloved wife is no longer in pain, even if he is.
