Kerri-Anne: “We thought as two”

“It was a shock. I thought I would have John for many many years to come,” Kerri-Anne Kennerley has revealed following the death of husband John Kennerley last month.

“I liken it to being sucked into that universe blackhole where everything is so dense. Not even light can get out. But that said, John and I have been a team for so many years, we were always together. We thought as two and now there’s only one. It hurts, but I still think how he would expect me to act, to be?”

She continued, “How would John react? What would John want me to do?

“It’s not fair, but life happens.”

Reunited with her Studio 10 team today, Kerri-Anne was comforted by colleague Angela Bishop who tragically lost her husband from cancer in 2017.

Fighting back tears, Angela Bishop said, “It’s the worst thing you can ever go through.”

But KAK was also grateful to public who had extended their sympathies.

The support I have had from people out there, I genuinely thank you. Strangers, people who have genuinely felt they wanted to reach out who I don’t know, that I run into. So many people who have been through (the) same.”

She added, “I fully try and understand the difficulties so many people without support systems must go through. That just cuts me up.

“But I think for 2 because John taught me to. He was the best, kindest person I’ve ever known.”
