Dave Myers' wife Liliana Myers has shared an update with fans more than a year after the Hairy Biker star's death. She spoke about the "distressing" times she can experience
The wife of the beloved Hairy Biker, Dave Myers, who sadly passed away, has given a heartfelt update on how life can be really "distressing". Dave Myers, famed as one half of the much-loved British TV duo Hairy Bikers alongside Si King, and known for his delightful stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, is fondly remembered more than a year after his death.
His wife, Liliana Myers, shared an emotional post on Facebook about her ordeal with grief. She admits no day is ever the same after you've lost a loved one.
‌
In her candid message, Liliana talked about her personal journey through grief, acknowledging that everyone's experience of loss is unique and full of challenges. She penned: "Everybody goes through loss in their lives, it's in our human path, and dealing with it isn't a linear process. It's messy and distressing on many levels.
‌
"When you're facing loss, you have to reach deeper than your mind can go. You have to lean into love, faith, hope, meaning and purpose - and hold on to them like your life depends on it."
Liliana continued: "Some days will feel almost unbearable; others a little lighter. Find what is meaningful for you and hold on to it, because that is what carries you forward.
"Your responsibility to yourself is to find out who you are in relation to the world, what makes you unique and what gifts you have to give... and use that as a source of your work.
"And if you can just keep moving - from one day to the next, and then the next - little by little, a new version of yourself will begin to emerge."
The Hairy Bikers' culinary journey first kicked off with their Cookbook series, which was partly filmed in Romania. It was here that the late Dave Myers met his future wife, Liliana, who was working at a hotel he visited.
‌
Despite the distance, their connection remained strong and blossomed into romance when Liliana visited the UK. A touching moment from 2021 stood out in Liliana's memory, as she recalled: "I was blown away by one tiny little thing.
"He picked me up from the airport. It was about midnight and he opened the fridge and he said 'what do you want me to cook for you?' I'd never ever in my life had a man cook for me.
‌
"So that was the very first thing that just hit me. I was visiting as a friend, but from that moment on my heart just melted."
Since speaking out about her grief, Liliana has received an outpouring of support on social media. One fan replied: "You are doing well, sending love to you and all the family. I'm sure Dave is so proud of the way you are sharing your journey. It gives hope to so many."
Another said: "Beautiful words written by a special, kind lady with a beautiful heart. Sending you love and huge hugs Liliana Myers. I hope you're doing OK."
One touched follower responded: "Lovely words Liliana. One day at a time. Life goes on and we all deal with it as best we can. There is no right or wrong way."
Meanwhile, another admirer chimed in with: "Thank you, I needed your words of wisdom today. You are a truly remarkable, warm-hearted lady. Bless you Liliana."
