However, during a ‘transformative perform’ she has now had to learn how to cope without Dave and has found herself feeling ‘stronger’. 

In a new social media post, Lilian shared picture of herself holding a hard copy of her new book, and wrote: ‘I moved homes, countries, changed languages and learned to live a completely different life… all for a man.

‘I found myself feeling alien at times, inadequate, not good enough and never had a voice…I wrapped myself around him, loving and caring for him and his career. Then, my man died.

‘All of the sudden everything I knew to be comfortable and familiar around collapsed.

‘Same time with grieving for my loss, I had to find who I was. And I had to learn to dig deep and recall my strengths, my values, my voice…

‘In this painful and transformative process, my voice appeared, at first shy and insecure. Then stronger.

‘I wrote a book! Today I received my first hard copy and I’m proud of myself! It’s a book about love, loss and resilience. My book! Yes I f***ing can!!!’

Part of Lilian’s journey has been learning to ride a motorcycle, something she didn’t have to do before because Dave would always drive the bike.

Recently sharing a picture of herself on a motorbike with a learner plate, Liliana revealed how she had taken steps to get on the roads on her motorbike.

She revealed she was taking her theory test, and said: ‘Tomorrow is scary as I’ve got the motorbike theory test. Today I took on the road to see if I can do it. 

‘Well, it certainly doesn’t come natural to me, I’ve got to work at it. Glad to report I’m still alive and safe. Can’t wait to get my full licence, hopefully before Dave Day!’

Before he died, she said that Dave had encouraged her to learn to drive a bike on her own among other things he had always done for her.

Reflecting on his words, she said: ‘When he said: Lil, you should learn how to ride a bike. I said: my love, I have you to do that. We enjoy sharing a bike together too much…

‘When he said : you should follow recipes and cook nice food. I said: but my darling, you’re cooking for me wonderful food… kitchen is your territory…

‘When he said to me: Lil, you should get out there more, explore more on your own… I said: Dave, my life is wrapped around you, I love the experiences we have together and who I am with you… I don’t need more.

‘How right was he and how wrong was I…. Because when I lost him, I had to learn to do all of those things without him! And it hurts now that I did say no then…

‘I’m telling you all these things because this has been a valuable lesson to me, and hopefully you feel inspired to: do, experience, live, love and enjoy everything for yourself, be daring and bold, don’t hide behind someone else’s dreams.

‘Have your own dreams and fulfil them for yourself!’

Lili first met the TV personality in 2005, while he was working on location in her native Romania.

They became pen pals before establishing a romance, with Myers eventually becoming stepfather to her two children from a former relationship.

The final motorbike he rode on The Hairy Bikers was recently sold for a huge five-figure sum, with the proceeds going to two charities.

Lili Myers told how she wanted his final motorbike – which featured in the BBC’s Hairy Bikers Go West – to go to a good home.

The BSA Goldstar went under the hammer at the National Motorcycle Museum near Solihull and sold for a mᴀssive £15,800, with the proceedings going to two charities.

Of the sale, Lilian told the BBC: ‘That bike still has his DNA on it… I really really hope that the person who gets it, loves it.’

‘I am really, really happy to see this bike being loved, and I’m sure the person who got it will love it as much as Dave did,’ she added.

The motorbike was sold to Si Harrison, who was friends with Dave, and the funds will be donated to NSPCC Childline and CancerCare North Lancashire & South Cumbria.

Harrison said buying the vehicle meant ‘so much’ to him and shared his plans to ride it on Dave Day, which sees the biking community gather to remember Myers.

‘I couldn’t think of a bike that I’d rather be on, and the idea of riding in Dave Day meant so much to me,’ he said.
