“It was our wedding anniversary the day after the funeral… we had a lot to deal with. I held myself together during the funeral and then it just went.
“Because of the life I had with Paul, I'm a person who's always counted my blessings. I look around me and think of what other people are going through.
“I had almost 38 amazing years with Paul,” Debbie added.
Paul’s funeral took place earlier this month and Debbie thanked fans on social media for their support.

At the time the veteran entertainer’s publicist said: "One of our most beloved entertainers, Paul Daniels, has passed away at the age of 77.
"The TV star, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour earlier this year, passed away peacefully at home with Debbie at his side in the early hours of this morning.”
