This week I sit down with Althea Griffin who shares her deeply moving story of losing both of her parents at a very young age. By just 15 she had already faced unimaginable grief carrying the weight of loss and trying to find her way in the world without them.It’s an honest and powerful conversation that I think so many will connect with, and one that sheds light on how children grieve and can feel so different in a world with no parents.For more information on the Grief Workshop tickets are now available on www.griefireland.com

Family Flowers Only with Althea Griffin

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.
