It is the first time the Sky News Australia presenter has spoken about her grief since her father was laid to rest on January 25. While leading her father’s memorial, Erin called Jim her “hero” who she had idolised her whole life.
Her father passed away on January 16.

“I was on the couch, heaving and stoic and the rest (of Senator Molan’s children) were all being stoic.
“After a while, my brother Mick came over, put his arm around me and said: ‘Erin, I just want you to know, none of us think you’re trying to make this about you’.”
In her tribute, Erin affirmed that she would respond to all the heartfelt messages that have been sent to support her as she grieves, but “it just might take [her] a while”.
The radio presenter revealed she does not know how she will “endure” life without her dad.
“We are forever broken without Dad but he taught my siblings and I that we can endure anything life throws our way… even this,” she wrote.
“Not sure how right now but I know we will… because as he’d tell you himself… he was seldom ever wrong 😉Thanks again Xx @senatorjimmolan”.
