EXCLUSIVE: Hannah Cole and Rich Everett’s relationship came under strain in 2019 after a motorbike accident changed their lives but now the pair have gone from strength-to-strength
Five years ago, Hannah Cole and her partner Rich Everett’s lives changed forever. After 40 year old Rich was involved in a motorbike accident, the pair were left dealing with hospital stays and operation all while Hannah navigated pregnancy. Here, 44 year old Hannah shares her story…
It’s almost taboo to split from a disabled partner and yet the brutal reality is that life after paralysis is incredibly hard – on both parties. Finding out I was pregnant in January 2017 after a miscarriage the previous year, it felt like I had everything I wanted. Our future together seemed mapped out. But everything changed that April morning when Rich’s motorbike was in collision with a van and he was airlifted to St George’s Hospital in south London.
As the realisation sank in that he’d be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, Rich spiralled downwards emotionally. He was devastated and scared and it was agony hearing him say he’d rather be dead and that I should leave and forget about him. Of course, I was scared about what life would be like, how we’d adapt, how we’d cope financially and how on earth we were going to juggle having a baby with his new needs, but leaving him was never an option.
There were times he found it too hard to hear those details when I visited him several times a week and he would shut down emotionally. It only reminded him of his absence during what should have been the happiest time of our lives. It didn’t help that our home, which was rented, was woefully inadequate. Basic adaptations had been done by the local authority, but Rich had to live downstairs and be bed-bathed as there was no accessible bathroom. It was demoralising for him and not even being able to share a bed only compounded that sense of living separate lives.
