100 Voices: Liadh Ní Riada - on the Loss of Her Husband #NowWereTalking
We invited a 100-strong chorus of artists, writers, musicians, broadcasters, sports stars and more to contribute to Now We’re Talking, a mental health campaign, run in partnership with Lyons Tea and Pieta House. Sinn Fein's Liadh Ní Riada speaks on getting over a depression brought on by a loss...
(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.
100 Voices was published in the Hot Press Mental Health Special in conjunction with Lyons Tea and Pieta House as part of the Now We're Talking Campaign. For more please visit hotpress.com/now-were-talking/
