Rob Delaney has shared a heartbreaking message, after he and his wife spent their first Christmas without their son Henry.
The Catastrophe star’s two-year-old son sadly passed away back in January, after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2016.
Taking to Twitter on St. Stephen’s Day, Rob told his followers: “Our first Christmas without Henry came & went.”
“The day itself was okay, maybe because there were so many horrible, painful days leading up to it; we must have hit our quota or something. We talked about him a lot & included his memory throughout the day.”

In another tweet, the actor continued: “I speak publicly about Henry in an effort to destigmatize grief. My family is sad & in pain because our beautiful 2 yr old boy died after a long illness. Why wouldn’t we be sad? Why wouldn’t we be angry and confused?” [sic]
“Tweets like this aren’t therapeutic to me, nor are they “updates”. I just want other bereaved parents & siblings to feel seen/heard/respected/loved. And maybe they might help someone not schooled in grief support a friend better. I don’t know,” he added.
Rob announced Henry’s death back in February in a devastating Facebook post.
