The Australian: Australia Day honoree 'wanted to die' :
"'I don't want people to think that if you lose someone, you have to go and build a school, or you have to start up a foundation because that's what I chose to do and it worked for me, but it's not for everyone.'
The 24-year-old works with young people through The Reach Foundation to improve their self-esteem and founded the Reach Broadbridge Fund in honour of her husband.
Along with the Melbourne Football Club, she also established the Broadbridge Education Centre on Phi Phi Island."
Trisha Broadbridge has been in a psychiatric clinic 3 times since she lost her husband Troy, one of our well known footballers, in the Boxing Day tsunami . What a great lady and a great example to everyone. She has earned this award by having the courage to face up to the unbearable pain and by working through it to turn it into something positive for herself and others. She has lost so much but has transformed it with her strength and courage into giving us so much.
