Clare Mosley, the wife of the late Dr Michael Mosley, has described an 'eerie' moment she believes was a 'message' from her husband. Michael Mosley, known for his BBC work and advocacy of intermittent fasting, died in June 2024 while on holiday on the Greek island of Symi. His remains were found four days after he set off on a two-mile walk to a neighbouring town.
Speaking to Good Housekeeping Live, Clare 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.'
Their son Jack joked that his father was 'addicted' to chocolate, adding: 'He had a chocolate addiction. Dad believed that willpower was somewhat overrated.'
Clare has also spoken about her grief, telling The Telegraph she is considering therapy but feels she needs time. She has formed an informal support network with two other widowed women, calling themselves 'the three merry widows'. Clare and Jack, both doctors, have vowed to continue Michael's work and have written three books on healthy eating.
