One thing we adore about Izzy Judd is her honesty. The mum-of-two has spoken about her struggles with IVF and miscarriage in the past, which takes a lot of courage and strength.
Today, the author opened up about the tragedy that nearly claimed her brother’s life. In an emotional Instagram post, Izzy revealed that her brother Rupert suffered a serious head injury when he was involved in a car accident 21 years ago.
Alongside a selfie she took with her husband Harry Judd and her brother, Izzy revealed that it hasn’t always been easy.
She admitted that she struggled to find the time to visit her brother, especially with two little ones at home, “His amazing carer and friend Ali bought him to see us for the afternoon which was such a treat as it’s not been easy to visit him since Kit was born.”
Izzy explained that since the accident her brother needs 24-hour care, “It’s a total miracle he survived he struggles with day to day life.”
Despite their day of fun, the violinist shared one secret with her 224,000 followers, “I spend most days feeling guilty that I don’t spend enough time with him.”
She continued, “Even though he is totally wonderful and an inspiration I would do anything to have just one conversation with my big brother before his accident again.”
The mum ended the poignant post by writing, “I miss him in so many ways.”
Izzy is so brave for opening up about her brother. We have so much respect for her!
