We are members of a club that no one wants to be a part of. Least of all, us. Those we loved most dearly have been taken from us in the most brutal of ways.<\/p>\n

In Brendan\u2019s case his wife, and the mother of their two children was shot and stabbed to death in a street by a far-right extremist<\/a>. And in Katie\u2019s case, her dad was stabbed to death by an Islamist<\/a> extremist in a church.<\/p>\n

The pain of these killings remains with us every single day, it colours our existence. Not just at big family moments or special occasions but in numerous subtle ways, the food they used to cook, the sound of their laughter, their very physical presence all gone from our lives. Many of you who have suffered sudden loss will know how that feels. The passage of time does not diminish the loss. It simply changes the way you carry it.<\/p>\n

Of course, in our case that pain wasn\u2019t just personal. It was very public. Because beyond our shared loss the most obvious thing we have in common is that both of our loved ones were serving members of parliament<\/a> when they were killed. One represented Labour<\/a>, the other Conservative, but more important than any party allegiance, they served our country and the communities they loved deeply.<\/p>\n
