100 Voices: Liadh Ní Riada - on the Loss of Her Husband #NowWereTalking

(On suffering depression after the death of her first husband, Fiachra) Nothing could numb it. I started walking a lot, listening to music, cleaning the house constantly. And then very luckily, I felt very blessed that I met my current - and final! - husband Nicholas Forde. Nicky has been terrific. He brought me out of that depression. You can't conquer death Ð and thatÕs the hard lesson I learnt from being with Fiachra. It took a long time to recover from that. But Nicky brought me around. He taught me - without being too clichéd about it - how to love life and how to be in love again with somebody.
