09: “At This Point in My Life, I Have Lost Who I Am.”

Here’s the story we discuss this week:   “I had my beautiful son when I was 32. We tried for 2 years to conceive. When I was 6 months pregnant I was forced to leave his father because of his drinking. He drank a lot because Ireland’s economy crashed and he lost his job. When my son was 6 my son’s father was killed in a car crash, my Dad was dying of bowel cancer, he passed away 8 months later. These bereavements have impacted being a mother hugely. At this point in my life I have lost who I am.”
