Description

On todays episode of family flowers only I speak to Fiona Maguire 

Fiona hails from Dublin, a mom and a psychotherapist and Counsellor

Fiona first experienced grief and loss in her life at the tender age of 9 years old, when she lost her mom at the age of 32 to cancer. 

Unfortunately tragedy would visit Fiona again when on her 13th wedding anniversary her beloved husband Mark took his own life at the age of 38
Fiona talked to me about the grief and shock that accompanies suicide, when there are no warning signs, the invasion of privacy that can sometimes come with a suicide and that being resilient isn’t the same thing as self care 

I hope you enjoy this episode

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.
