Loose Women star Brenda Edwards returned to our screens on Monday for the first time since the death of her son Jamal Edwards.
Jamal, a pioneer in the music industry, died after a sudden illness on February 20 this year. He was just 31 years old.
Brenda and Jamal's loved ones laid him to rest last month, and today Brenda has spoken about the loss of her son, and the support from her fellow Loose Women panelists, in a new interview. She visited Coleen Nolan at her home to discuss how her life is now and how she is coping.

She said she was with Jamal at home when he died. Speaking to Coleen she said: "I take some comfort in that, but also that vision is something that will never leave me".
Asked how she is by Coleen, she said: "I'm okay, the way I see it ... I'm just taking each day as it comes". Brenda said there are still plenty of photos of her "beautiful" Jamal around her house.
She continued: "I look at them and I say 'goodnight baby', and I say 'good morning baby'". Coleen told her co-panelist she was an "incredible woman", and viewers at home echoed her comments.
Taking to Twitter, Clare Robbo said: "OMG, Brenda… what a lady! Just three words resonate. Family, love and respect". Emma Louise said: "Crying my eyes out watching #LooseWomen my heart goes out to Brenda & her family Really one incredible woman I can't imagine what she has been through & still going through Sending love & hugs".
Brenda will return to the panel for the first time since Jamal passed away on Tuesday (April 26).
