‘It was a very confusing moment’
Tricky said the death left him struggling to understand how to move forward while also caring for their young son.“It was a very confusing moment. I was worried about it. It was crazy.”He explained that he initially did not know what to do after the loss. The comedian said the experience changed his understanding of what it means to raise a child.
According to Tricky, he had previously viewed parenting mainly through the financial responsibilities involved. Losing his son's mother, however, made him realise that raising a child involves much more than providing money.
“I thought raising a kid is all about money. Now you see the weight you feel. You work times three.”
Raising a child through grief
Tricky also spoke about the challenges his son has faced while growing up without his mother.He said some situations can become difficult when people around the child mention his mother without knowing what the family has gone through.
The comedian recalled the challenge of dealing with questions about the child's mother, particularly when the loss was still fresh.“If a young kid asks you about the mum whom you've just buried…”His comments offered a glimpse into the emotional responsibility that came with becoming the child's main parent following the death.
His son turns nine
Despite the difficult circumstances, Tricky said his son has continued to grow and recently reached an important milestone.
His son is now nine years old, according to reports on the interview. The birthday also provided a more positive moment during a conversation that largely focused on loss, parenting and resilience.The comedian's decision to discuss the experience publicly has also given his audience insight into a part of his life that he has largely kept away from entertainment headlines.
