A newlywed has told how she is still "numb" after her husband died outside their home in an accident as the couple had been married for just five weeks. The outlook had appeared almost perfect for Holly Williams, from Port Talbot, after marrying Jordan Powell and having a child together, while she was readying herself to return to Swansea University to continue her nursing studies at the end of her maternity leave. But then tragedy struck with Jordan, 29, who was a motorbike afficionado, hit by a car right outside the front of his house on January 5, 2024, as he came back from a ride.
“I think I'm still a bit numb from the situation,” said 32-year-old Holly. “Like, I kind of just went back into university and then threw myself into university and work. It was a very difficult time, but my kids kept me going. "I wanted to show them that no matter what challenges you face, they don’t have to defeat you. Instead, they can serve as inspiration for what truly matters. For me, that was completing my course so that I could have a job I not only enjoyed but would allow me to build a brighter future for my family.”.
Holly and Jordan shared six children between them, and were both parents to new-born Ivy-Rose who was just 11 weeks old when her father died. Holly explained that the incident had left its impact on the children, reported WalesOnline. She said: “My little child, she gets very tearful. She asks about it quite a lot. My oldest, he doesn’t really talk, he doesn't address his feelings”.
