children are absolutely devastated to
lose the most beautiful wife and mother
she's so generous she's so full of life
she's so powerful courageous supportive
of all of us I lost half of myself in
the holiday Hotel
room in Bali he should be sharing with
his wife ten Finlayson is alone grieving
this hotel but she never managed to get
here 52 year old Kimberly fell ill soon
after arriving from the UK she had
diabetes but had been in good health
this phrase underlying health issues has
come into our language over the past
they're really difficult past ten days
or so the irony of that phrase to me is
that I don't know many people in their
50s I haven't received medication
I haven't had some health issues ken is
warning other British travelers of
health care in less developed countries
is not the same as back home
he watched Kimberly die in a government
hospital during surgery
she said that she loves me and you know
we exchanged that for a few minutes and
you know looked into one another's eyes
you know so we had that time to do that
and on repeat in a sense and hopefully
Kimberly is even in his grief Ken's
thoughts are with other British families
who may also lose loved ones to cope
with 19 you need to be strong for your
family and the memory of your loved one
who died in tragic circumstances ken has
tested negative for the virus but is
still unable to get back to the UK his
strength comes from his family and from
the memory of the wife whose life he
shared for 32 years my wife is the most
incredibly generous
