    We talk about the tragic and sudden death of her brother Seán. The gift he left in his bucket list and how the family completed it in his honour. And how much our perspective on life changes when we experience grief.

    On today’s episode I speak with Ciara O’Malley. Ciara tragically lost her partner of 10 years, David, in a drowning accident when they lived in Canada. She speaks with me today about how her grief took over her life in the time after she lost David. But how she now feels guided by both her grief and her partner in what she does in her everyday life.

     

    She harnessed her grief into writing and released a book in 2021, Miracles Appear When Loved Ones Are Near', a story about grief, empowerment and enlightenment, to help people seek their own inner strength in the harshest of times.

  • I believe that grief has the power to change your life forever.


    On todays episode I wanted to do something a little different.


    When we grieve, we look to anything that will bring us some hope, perspective, or peace. Trying to get answers to our questions – will I ever see them again? How will I live without them? What happens after we die? Will I ever feel happy again?
