On todays episode of Family Flowers Only I spoke to Sophia Murphy Sophia is a recently qualified PT and a mom from Galway TW. Please be advised that this episode contains conversations of childhood sexual abuse and is often times upsetting. See below for helpline advice Sophias story of loss begins in childhood when heartbreakingly, as a baby her father began abusing her. She endured many years of absolute hell and torture until the abuse came to an end at the age of 16 when another victim came forward and he was eventually jailed for his horrific crimes. We spoke about so much from the abuse, to the courts, her battle with addiction, loosing her beloved sister Steph to addiction and fighting her way forward to build a life little Sophia would be proud of and deserves.

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.
