Comedian Rhod Gilbert has shared his heartache over the tragic news he faced just months after his own battle with stage 4 cancer.The 56 year old Welsh funnyman had a tumultuous year in 2022, dealing with a cancer diagnosis, stepping back from television to focus on his recovery, and then receiving the all-clear.

But the relief was short-lived as he was soon hit by the loss of his friend's father and a close friend to the same disease.

In an exclusive chat with Reach PLC, Rhod recounted: "This week I've been to a funeral for my friend's dad, who died of cancer.

In the interval while on stage in Halifax, I [also] found out that a friend of mine had died of cancer. I knew he had gone into end of life care, so it wasn't a huge surprise, but it just happened in that moment where I just so happened to have come off stage during the interval, looked at my phone and read a text saying, 'He's gone.'" He went on to discuss how he coped with the news, saying: "It's just everywhere, which is why I think it's important to talk about it and get it out there and try and find humour in it and try and normalise it, and that's what I've been doing on stage.

8 Things You’ll Regret Not Letting Go of Sooner in Life

Oftentimes you don’t even realize you’re blocking your own present blessings by holding on to everything so tightly.It’s always necessary to accept when some part of your life has reached its inevitable end. Closing the door, completing the chapter, turning the page, etc. It doesn’t matter what you title it; what matters is that you find the strength to leave in the past those former parts of your life that are over, and those little ideals in your mind that simply aren’t meant to be.Throughout the past decade, as Angel and I have gradually worked with hundreds of our course students, coaching clients, and live event attendees, we’ve come to understand that the most common cause of human frustration on an average day is our stubborn propensity to hold on to things long after it’s time to let go. In a nutshell, we hold on tight to the hope that things will go exactly as we imagine, and then we complicate our lives to no end when they don’t.So let’s take a look at some common things we often regret holding on to until the bitter end…Try to use frustration and inconvenience to motivate you rather than annoy you. You are in control of the way you look at life. Instead of getting angry, find the lesson.
