Niamh Cullen says she feels ’empty’ after death of her husband aged 33

He was diagnosed with cancer days after they got married last year

Niamh's husband Jamie Gill died aged 33, just over a year after the pair got married in Italy.

Taking to Instagram yesterday, Saturday, 29 November, Niamh confirmed her husband had sadly passed.

“The unimaginable has happened. Our worst nightmare. My beautiful husband has been taken from us. The light of my life,” she wrote.

“I was the luckiest to be loved and adored by you, Jamie. I love you endlessly, not just now, but eternally.”

Alongside these heartbreaking words, she shared a video showing the pair dancing, which Niamh said showed the 'unconditional love, fun and laughter' that the pair shared.

The clip has been seen over 5 million times, and friends and fans have flooded the comments section with support.

"Niamh, you and Jamie deserved to have the best long life of marriage. The world is so unfair, what a lovely genuine person he was. I’m so sorry the worst has happened," Roz Purcell wrote.

Rachel Gorry penned: "Ohh niamh I’m absolutely heartbroken for you all. Sending you so much love."

Taking to Instagram stories today, Sunday, 30 November, Niamh thanked friends and family for their support.

“Our home has not been empty," she wrote. "I cannot even find the words to explain my unwavering support and love from my friends and family.”

"Why you, why us," she wrote in another story, accompanied by a collage of photos of her late husband.

"All the did was have so much fun and adored one another. I feel empty."

Jamie was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer shortly after the pair got married.

"Last weekend marked one year of our marriage. Nothing could have prepared us for the journey that was ahead,” Niamh wrote earlier this month.

“On day 3 of our wedding, Jamie became seriously unwell. What was meant to be a minimoon in Rome turned into 10 days in hospital.”

She continued: “Our world shattered in an instant, but we stayed strong. Jamie bravely faced 10 rounds of chemotherapy. There were ups and downs along the way, but nothing could have prepared us for what followed after his 10th session.”

After undergoing treatment, Jamie was hospitalised earlier this year, with pneumonia and sepsis. Doctors then discovered his cancer had returned.

“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to articulate Jamie’s strength throughout this entire journey,” Niamh wrote.

“He never ceases to amaze me with his incredible positive outlook and mindset, even in the darkest moments. It’s been unimaginably tough seeing the person you love suffer and to feel so helpless. I get these waves of guilt daily because all I want to do is just swap places or take it away, but I can’t.”

“My husband is my inspiration, my hero and I love [being his wife] so much. In sickness and in health I know and pray that positive things are coming. They have to be, you deeply deserve it. Thanks for the support and patience. It’s been the most difficult time as newlyweds.”
