“It\u2019s a heartbreak that leaves the entire Slater family completely devastated,” explains our Walford insider. “Although she hurt her head, there was nothing to suggest that Zoe was fatally ill when she went to sleep<\/a> the night before.<\/p>\n

“So, when Kat walks in to wake her up, she\u2019s completely blindsided to find that her beloved daughter has died. The pain leaves Kat completely unable to function.”<\/p>\n

Alfie can scarcely believe it himself when the truth comes to light, and he realises the ordeal Kat is going through. Worse still, he knows they must share the truth with Zoe\u2019s nearest and dearest, including her children Jasmine and Josh.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s Tommy, Bert and Ernie, all of whom adore their big sister. Alfie is painfully aware that Zoe\u2019s loss is going to hit them all like a ton of bricks.<\/p>\n

“For Kat, it\u2019s impossible to deal with anybody else\u2019s grief, she just can\u2019t go there,\u201d shares our source. \u201cInitially, she locks herself away and refuses to let anyone in. Then she needs to get out for some headspace \u2013 there is so much grief to cope with that Kat feels completely lost.”<\/p>\n

With her family at arm\u2019s length, Kat finds solace from an unlikely source<\/a> when Oscar spots her. He is all too aware of how hard it is for a family to experience loss after his own experience with Abi. He also knows what her child\u2019s death did to Tanya and so has genuine wisdom to offer. <\/p>\n

Although his words hit home, Kat goes back to The Vic to find the family holding a vigil in Zoe\u2019s bedroom and is furious, ordering them all out. While Alfie understands she\u2019s in hell, he begins to seriously worry that Kat is shutting him out entirely.<\/p>\n

The gulf between them widens when the post-mortem results raise even more questions for the grieving mum.<\/p>\n
