❤❤❤❤❤ There will probably be many ppl who can relate to Ashley's story on one level or another. My 8-yo great-niece was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. She passed away in April 2024. Thank you for the interview, Paul. Thank YOU, Ashley, for being a father who cared so deeply for his daughter and shared your "heart" here--on this stage. Your selfless share and journey will support so many parents/families.

This was one of the most captivating chats I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you both.

So much pressure can be put on men and sometimes it turns into negative energy. It's great to see so much mental health awareness around men

My brother lost a baby at 9 months old...I can only imagine the depths of this loss. I am impressed with Ashley's emotional maturity. 💛

Having met this man several times and listen to him speak it hits different he is the strongest man I know brought my 11yr old to tears listening to him talk ❤

[@ScottDalby88]

I've signed up to walk 106km round the isle of Wight and this man is my inspiration!!! I had to stop playing football at 24 due to arthritis now at 36 I've got fit and just completed the oxford half marathon. In may it's gonna be a massive adventure!! Not a challenge!! He's my hero man!!

[@clairebayley-l5v]

I lost my little boy age 6 months 2 yrs ago. In different circumstances. I woke one morning and he had passed in his sleep at my side. But I too wanted to keep him and look after him. Visiting him Every day at the hospital mortuary felt almost good like he hadnt really gone. Like I was going to see him while he was ill and he'd be coming home. Devastating.

[@Derinbepo]

My heart completely shattered when I heard she passed on. I followed their journey and really hoped the precious girl lived. Ashley definitely expressed himself so beautifully even after going through this life shattering situation.

[@oliviamorgan7857]

What an inspiration, I can’t imagine your pain. Ashley articulates himself so well, I hope he finds some peace in life ❤

[@Anyxcuse]

The minute we are conceived our expiration clock starts ticking. We were never meant to be here forever. Some for a short time and some for a longer. Some came for a few minutes , hours, months or a few years. They came to teach us something then move on.

[@ellataylor-palfrey97]

Great conversation

[@tracey8698]

I really enjoyed this interview i always enjoy watching ashley speak about his daughter even though its so heartbreaking to watch,hes an amazing guy and wish him the best future,you should get his ex partner on saffiya she went through exactly the same thing he did and shes an amazing person like ashley,im sad they arent still together actually i think they were so good together

[@AntoinetteMcNaughton]

I cried and was so depressed when this was happening to this wee gorgeous precious beautiful baby. Why why why does this happen to such vulnerable gorgeous wee babies? The pain is so unbearable. I'm so so sorry for your loss and The pain. I'm lost my mum to cancer and tht was so hard but a wee gorgeous innocent baby is a different story

[@Nonamehello993]

You should know better Paul than having this person on your show. You/ your team should have done more research, because if you did you’d know not to be associated with this guy. Poor decision Paul.

[@sasthyme8857]

Blah blah blah they won't be the the first n they're not the last. They have a platform to talk, that's it.... its so tiring. Where was Ashley and his girl when I lost the third child last babu on IVF the ones that died when I was holistic etc etc.. there's wars there's madness u live n move on. I've lost 2 child6in n the way he did I'm not an E lister no one listening. Go to bed sleep n stop being so egotistical

[@tanyag9247]

So sorry for your loss. Of course there are people who would care about your story and your pain, too. I hope you find healing ❤️‍🩹 your children are just as important. We’re all human and no one is above the other

[@riri7757]

I’m sorry that you are hurting! ❤️‍🩹

[@clairelangley9934]

I understand ur hurting my brother lost his baby at 7 months old i think he does this to cope with his greif and to help other men

[@taraham]

Sorry for your loss, we will never understand your pain. But don’t loose your compassion for others. People need to hear your story as well.

[@Reapz1212]

I’ll say this as respectfully as I can this must be one of the worst comments I’ve seen on a KZbin video. You’ve been through the pain yet downplay another parents pain and make it a competition. And why would ash and his girl be there when you lost your children - weird. They’re both raising awareness to this topic which is amazing and especially ash as a man showing you don’t have to be this “hard man” all the time which is needed. Again,respectfully, deal with your pain you’re obviously still hurting but this isn’t the way to deal with it - horrible!
