In this episode Scott Irvine tells me the devastating story of the sudden death of his fiancée, when he was in his early twenties.

After an initial period of disorientation and antisocial behaviour, he turned his life around with a new, well-paid job. Putting the sad events behind him and banishing his late girlfriend's memory from his mind, he remembers very little of their relationship - even to this day, decades later.

We talk about how his unpreparedness to deal with the trauma nearly led him to boycott goals he worked very hard for. However, his determination to succeed at his photography course became the catalyst for facing and eventually overcoming the denial of his pain.
