SPECIAL The tragic death of her stillborn twins at 21 weeks was too much pain to bear for a gentle giant FIFO miner after 10 years of grueling IVF. Adam Edwards, 32, who stood 1.93 meters tall, suddenly last week after struggling with his mental health following the tragedy, his grieving widow Lucy, 30, told Daily Mail Australia. But just three months later in July, the celebrations turned to tears when the twins were stillborn at 21 weeks. The devastated couple held a funeral for the twins, whom they named Penny Christine and James Robert, with a moving video on social media chronicling their short lives. But in emotional turmoil of the tragic aftermath, Mr Edwards struggled to recover from heartbreaking loss.

'My life changed irrevocably when I heard the news of the passing of my best friend, husband and soul mate, Adam Edwards. 'Adam's death was sudden and unexpected. He alone, hundreds of kilometers from the home we shared in Perth. 'His devastating death came just over two months after we buried our twins, two perfect sleeping angels born at 21 weeks and 5 days. 'Our beautiful children were born after a seven-year vitro fertilization journey in which Adam and I traveled side by side, hand hand, every step of the way.
