Family Flowers Only by Grief Ireland · Family Flowers Only with Patrick Moloney · 24 May 2026 podcast

If you had my brothers and the wives here and my parents and asked them, what was he like then?

He was like, he wasn't him.

And I wasn't.

I'd completely checked out.

I see pictures of me holding my son who were in places and I'm not me at all.

So I'd kind of...

I suppose whatever I'd done to myself at that period of time, that isolation, I made it way worse.

And I basically lost my identity at that stage.

And then that's when we went back and I said that, I was like, it came out and I was like, maybe we should go back.

And I'd say underneath all of that, I was thinking, oh, if I go back, maybe I won't be drinking as much.

I won't have to smoke all these things because I'll feel the comfort of the connection with my family and all that.

But of course, I've already brought myself over there.

I've created a family of my own.

And I wasn't in the mind frame to say to myself, no, this is where you are here.

I don't want to say it's like a childlike mentality, but it's more like I was lost in it.

I would have mentioned things.

I would have had issues like, but there's, it would have been work related.

So I, the crowd I was working with for three years, so the rebuild of the city after the earthquakes was great.

Because when you go over there, it's like the old saying, my parents said to me, get an apprenticeship and you can go all over the world, no bother at all.

Australia, New Zealand, London, what they don't tell you is that you have to transfer your papers over.
