This week I sit down with Brittany Dowling who shares the heartbreaking story of losing her husband Danny Dowling who died suddenly at just 36 following an epileptic seizure known as SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy).Danny was a devoted father to two young boys and a well-known business owner, running a much-loved lodge in the Wicklow Mountains. His sudden death has left an unimaginable void in Brittany's life and in the lives of those who knew and loved him.In this episode Brittany speaks about the shock of losing Danny so unexpectedly, the reality of navigating life and motherhood in the aftermath, and the deep love and village that continues to carry her through.This is a powerful and emotional conversation about sudden loss, family, and learning to keep going when everything changes in an instant.For those who may need support in their own grief journey:• Tickets for my Parent Loss Grief Workshop in Athlone – April 19th can be found here:https://www.griefireland.com/grief-retreat/p/grief-workshop-for-partner-loss-athlone• You can also learn more about my community membership After the Flowers, where members can access full video episodes, support resources and a private community space:https://after-the-flowers.circle.so/checkout/after-the-flowers-membership
