As part of National Grief Awareness Week, I've partnered with the Irish Hospice Foundation to share some writings on the subject.
This piece was an attempt to trace the odd, circuitous routes that grief takes over decades.

I've always found writing about grief difficult, but rewarding. Today I'm sharing this piece, adapted from my memoir's first chapter, which is a good intro to its themes (death is sad) and its tone (things are still funny). #NGAW2026 #IrishHospiceFoundation
