  • Family Flowers Only with Louise Mulcahy
    This week, I sit down with Louise Mulcahy, who speaks so openly and honestly about the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Peter, in a road traffic accident in October 2023. Together for 20 years and raising two small boys, Louise and Peter were in the middle of building their forever home... life was full of plans and promise, until everything changed in an instant. We talk about the shock of sudden loss, the weight of grief, and what it means to navigate that while trying to show up every day for young children who are still trying to understand it all. This is a powerful and moving conversation.For tickets to Grief Retreats check out www.griefireland.com

About Family Flowers Only by Grief Ireland

During the pandemic I created a community on Instagram called Grief Ireland. It was following the death of my sister Elaine and her husband Pa. I found Grief to be still a taboo subject, unspoken, and a topic that not many wanted to discuss. Unless of course those who were in "the club no-one wants to be in". But to find those people was difficult. So I went on a mission to open the conversation, to comfort those who mourn, to educate those who don't, to hold space for others to talk about their Grief, Love and Loss and to remember our loved ones and ensure that they would never be forgotten.
