Description

On todays episode of Family Flowers Only I talk to Alison Finnegan, wife of the late Anthony Anto Finnegan, beloved former Antrim GAA footballer and Captain.
In 2012 Anto was diagnosed with Motor Neurone disease, a disease he bore with great courage strength and bravery. Along with his family he worked tirelessly to raise awareness and funds of MND. Anto sadly passed away in 2021 at the age of 48. Alison and I spoke about the shock of diagnosis, the daily losses that come with MND, the devastation of having no treatments available to help with MND and how she feels Anto is always with her.

(Please be mindful we discuss difficult topics such as terminal illness, mental health, death)

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.
