Really loved this week’s episode of @GriefPod with one of my favourite writers @shockproofbeats. Séamas speaks to us about his upcoming new book, Did Ye Hear Mammy Died, which is out next year. A pleasure to chat so openly with him about his wonderful mother Shelia.

Loved this chat about my forthcoming book Did Ye Hear Mammy Died. It's a memoir of growing up as the best little bereaved boy in Ireland, with ten siblings, several dogs, and a dad who knows every priest in Ireland and taped nearly a thousand films off the TV. Coming in 2021.
We really-really loved this weeks chat with @shockproofbeats . Séamas spoke about loosing his mam Sheila three weeks before his 6th birthday, and growing up with grief alongside his 10 siblings and incredible father. His beautiful memoir “Did Ye Hear Mammy Died?” is out next year

Today is #nationalgriefawarenessday A day to remember the loves we’ve lost & to send extra love to the ones who feel lost in their grief. A little text or call to somebody today could mean a lot. @GriefPod @sashahearts @iandoylee

A few months ago I spoke with the wonderful @GriefPod about parental #death, isolation in #grief, societal expectations & my book for grieving young adults '365 Days Past the Traffic Lights'. In these times it's so important to look out for those grieving apple.co/2E5KW29

Thank you @lizgoregrimes & @image_magazine for asking me to write about my experience of bringing up kids going through grief. I hope I portrayed them as the fab little humans they are. 💜@GriefPod #Grief

Well done @GriefPod! It's always good to see grief discussed so it isn't as isolating or lonely. #Grief

Walking into a room full of coffins to choose for dad was a feeling I can’t explain & I’ll never forget.Or being at his funeral or him dying.Not having someone who can relate to talk to is so isolating We need to normalise convo around death I spoke to @GriefPod about this #grief

Walking to a room filled floor-ceiling with coffins to browse and pick one for dad as if you’re at IKEA is one of the surrealist experiences of my life & one I‘ll never forget. We need to normalise convos about #grief so grievers feel more prepared & less alone @GriefPod #podcast

I had a chat with Sasha about what grief looks like several years in, grieving like a Stoic (it isn’t what you might think), and the ways that grieving well can teach us how resilient we are, even (or especially) after our worst fears have been realised.
“Even after five years, even a couple of lines from a song can bring her back in that moment.” The brilliant Sunday Times writer @LooraKennedy joins us this week to speak about her mother Emma and life after losing her. podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcas…
He’s best known for his long career as rugby analyst and children’s book author but this week @RealBrentPope joins us on @GriefPod to speak about his father and the pain of losing him after a lifetime of a wonderful relationship. It’s a real love story ❤️ open.spotify.com/episode/1CF… – at Dublin City, Ireland

In this episode of @GriefPod Erin McGathy chats with Sasha about coming to terms with losing her mother, years down the line. She also discusses how the grief she felt manages to manifest in different ways all those years later. alustforlife.com/mental-heal…

I spoke to @GriefPod about coping with the loss of a parent. One of the hardest things for me has been people not talking about dad and not asking me questions when I've desperately wanted/needed to talk about him and open up about how I'm feeling. #grief #weneedtotalk #podcast

A very emotional afternoon, but amazing to feel the love and support so many people have for the Hospice, in return for the dignity, incredible care and serenity they give to so many people & their families 🕯@IrishHospice #LightUpALife @GriefPod @planetmurt
