Family Flowers Only with Niamh Ruane

This week, I sit down with 17-year-old Niamh Ruane a remarkable young woman whose wisdom and honesty left me in awe. At just 15, Niamh lost her dad to pancreatic cancer, nine months after his diagnosis. Less than 10 months later, her younger sister Roisin was diagnosed with cancer too. As her mum had to care for her sister in Crumlin Hospital Dublin , Niamh had to stay at home with her younger brother, navigating grief, loneliness, and the absence of both parents in the house. She speaks so openly about saying goodbye to her dad, the silence that follows, and the way loss changes everything, especially for someone so young. This conversation is raw, moving, and will resonate deeply with anyone who has ever felt the weight of grief at a young age.
