Dr Clare Bailey Mosley recently had an ‘eerie’ moment relating to her late husband, TV doctor Michael Mosley, while she was working in the study in their family home
Dr Michael Mosley’s wife Clare has recalled an “eerie” moment that she believes was a “message” from her late husband. Michael was known to many for his advocacy of intermittent fasting as well as his work on the BBC.
Michael and Clare were enjoying a break on the Greek island of Symi in June 2024 when the physician decided to embark on a two-mile walk to a neighbouring town. His remains were discovered four days later on a rocky stretch of terrain near a private resort called Agia Marina.
An inquest concluded that the cause of his death was “unascertainable”. It said it was likely to be down to “either to heat stroke or non-identified pathological cause.”
Now Clare believes a moment she experienced recently while in the couple’s home could have been a message from her late husband. Speaking to Good Housekeeping Live, she recalled how Michael would regularly hide chocolate around the house.
She said: “He asked me to hide chocolate regularly and I still find chocolate in the broom cupboard. Literally, and you won’t believe it, some weeks ago I stood up from the desk and there was a loud clunk and it was just an enormous bar of chocolate that had fallen off the shelves. It was slightly eerie. It was a message from Michael.”
Clare and Michael’s son, Jack, joked that his father was “addicted” to chocolate. He added: “He had a chocolate addiction. Dad believed that willpower was somewhat overrated.”
Clare recently admitted that she was still considering going to therapy to help process Michael’s death. Speaking to The Telegraph, she said: “I feel I need to have time to do it.
“It’s next on my list. I’m not going just because everyone tells me I should.”
She revealed that she has created an informal grief support network of her own: “I do have friends I see. There are two other [widowed] women nearby so we often meet up.”
She continued: “We call ourselves ‘the three merry widows’. Although I don’t use the word ‘widow’ unless I have to. I feel a bit awkward about the word itself. It just reminds me of what I’ve lost.”
Clare and Jack – who are both doctors – have now vowed to continue Michael’s work. They have written three books on healthy eating – Food Noise, Eating Together, and The Fast 800 Favourites.
“Michael would have been so proud of Jack,” Clare told Good Housekeeping Live.
