I refused to become a traumatised, grief-stricken single father after the death of His wife

Peaches Geldof's widower has spoken about his devastating loss and how he has overcome his grief with the help of his late wife's family.

Thomas Cohen, the father of Peaches' two young sons, said Bob Geldof and his daughters have supported him in the two years since his wife's death, describing their relationship as 'very close'.

The musician, 25, also revealed that caring for his children gave him a sense of purpose in the months after the tragedy, saying he 'refused to become a traumatised, grief-stricken single father'.

Cohen was just 23 when he discovered his 25-year-old wife collapsed at their country home in Kent following an accidental heroin overdose.

Speaking to the Daily style Entertainment, Cohen said losing his wife was 'traumatising' but that he reached the point where he thought, 'I don't want to stay in this place anymore'. 

He spoke openly about how he turned to therapy and transcendental meditation to work through the grief.
