Family Flowers Only with Nicola Maguire

This week, on a very special Mother’s Day episode, I sit down with Nicola McGuire as she shares the story of her incredible parents, Pam and Vinny. Both were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and as their only child, Nicola devoted her life to caring for them. She speaks about the deep love between her parents, the heartbreak of watching her mom fade away, and the anticipatory grief she now carries for her dad. It’s a conversation about love, loss, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and child.And as always, if you find this episode helpful, please consider following the podcast, sharing it on social media, or sending it to someone who might need to hear it.For more support visit https://alzheimer.ie/For Tickets to our Grief and Wellness Retreats please visit www.griefireland.comFollow us on Instagram @griefireland And Tiktok @Familyflowersonly

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.
