Lisa Curry breaks down over daughter's tragic death: 'I feel like s**t'

Lisa Curry became understandably overcome with emotion while speaking about her daughter Jaimi's tragic passing at just 33 in 2020 on ABC's Australian Story on Monday night.

The former Ironwoman, 59, who shares her three children with former husband Grant Kenny, said she is still trying to process her grief and has been in a constant state of mourning ever since losing her firstborn.

"Jaimi was only 33, she had a whole life to live," Lisa told the cameras as she began wiping away tears. "I haven't been able to talk about it because you can see what it does to me.

"All I've done for two years is sit and cry and eat... you know I feel like s**t."

"If it's any consolation, Grant and I were able to be with her when she took her last breath," she said. "We were there when she took her first breath and we were there when she took her last."

Jaimi battled eating disorders and alcoholism in the years leading to her passing, with Lisa revealing it was multiple organ failure that killed her.

Lisa said she hoped she could help someone else by speaking about her daughter's demons.

"I'm still in a state where I'm still trying to work it out, because if I can help someone else," she said. "Here's something that I've learnt, it might help another family. But I don't know... I can't seem to do it. It's annoying. If I knew the answers I'd be shouting them to the world."

"I just don't feel like the same person anymore. It's like your soul has changed," she said.
