It’s all too fresh and raw for me right now but one day I hope to be living with my grief better. Thank you for this podcast. Than... more
Have listened to every episode so far and each story helps us understand what families are going through. Love Sinead’s interviews - looking forward to hearing more.

I have admired Orlaith as a long time follower & this conversation was a lovely listen. It was hard to hear all her family went through but I have no doubt her openness in this conversation will help families in similar situations. I hope the boys c... more
