Rob's death hits me now more than ever

Lindsey Burrow opens up on her grief

- HOLLIE BONE

LINDSEY Burrow has said the death of rugby league legend husband Rob is hitting her “more than ever".

Despite her grief, the star's widow is determined to keep her promise to Rob that she will be happy and positive, as he was throughout his illness.

The Leeds Rhinos hero died aged 41 from motor neurone disease last June.

But Lindsey says she still goes to text Rob - only to remember she’s lost the love of her life.

She said: “It's now that it’s starting to hit me more than ever. It's the little things. A family friend passed away not so long ago and my first instinct was to message Rob. Then suddenly there's the realisation that he isn't there.
