Description

On this weeks episode of Family Flowers Only I speak to Annette Burke
Annette is from Galway and is a trainee psychotherapist. 

Her early life faced challenge and loss of sorts as her brother battled with poor mental health which put a lot of strain on the family.

In 2020 Annettes mother Teresa passed away after a short illness which caused a great deal of complexity surrounding her grief as their relationship had been strained in the lead up to her mothers diagnosis. 

Sadly her grief was further compounded by another blow to her family earlier this year. 

Annette spoke to me about the heaviness of guilt, the misconception that we always have ample amounts of time, and how her mother helps her now.

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.
