So he kept her in their bedroom for nearly a week – even
sleeping in the same room – before taking her body to the crematorium.
Now Russell wants to convince the public that staying close
to a loved one's dead body is nothing to be afraid of, the Derby Telegraph
reports.
Wendy was
diagnosed with cervical cancer not long after their joint 40th birthday party
at Susumi in November 2006.
"From
the get-go she got straight into the driving seat and took control of her own
health," Mr Davison said.
"We
were not prepared to hand her life over to doctors - we wanted to do our own
research and do the very best job we could to keep Wendy alive.
"We
have no doubt that by refusing chemotherapy and radiotherapy and truly
embracing natural health we have extended Wendy's life by a very long time.
About three
years ago, Wendy was given six months to live.
It was then
that the couple decided they needed to start living in 'The Now' and make the
very most of every moment we had left together.
They bought
a caravan and went travelling all round Europe.
"We
adapted our work to be done from anywhere on a mobile phone and a laptop and we
set off," he said.
"Our
'gypsy travels' sadly had to come to an end last September when we had to
return home to Derby due to Wendy's pain being too much to bear.
"She
has been in and out of the Macmillan Ward at the Royal Derby Hospital many
times since, but she was determined to die at home.
"So me
and the boys - Wendy's two sons Luke and Dylan Nichols along with my two sons
Benjamin and Dominic Davison - have been nursing her at home for the last few
months. It has been a very tough time for us all.
"Wendy
suffered so much pain every day but never once complained and has never felt
sorry for herself, or said anything about it being unfair or anything like
that.
