Robin Bailey has returned to the radio this morning, five weeks since her husband Tony Smart took his own life.

The popular radio host returned to Brisbanes’ 97.3 FM Robin, Terry and Bob Breakfast team with an emotional speech about the five weeks since the death of her husband, who was battling depression.

As the Courier Mail reported:

Robin also thanked her close friends, who had helped her and her three sons, aged 14, 12 and 10. She said her children were back at school today, and she felt it was time for her to return to work (she is also back doing features on the Channel 9 show Weekend Today).

Robin is ready to move forward. “Suicide was his decision, and I refuse to let it scar myself and my children for the rest of our lives.”

“Life really does go on and I choose, and will fight, for my children and I to be happy”.

Welcome back, Robin.

 Listen to Robin be ten kinds of incredible. But have tissues handy:

Welcome back, Robin. We’re all cheering you on and sending love.
