Loved this interview. My family have been here also with this type of loss. Big shout out to you Seamus and also Owen's wife who does great work in her counselling services.
I attended a beverment evening called the ceremony of lights, 3weeks ago in ballymena, with my sister, who lost her husband, Seamus was there, and talked for a little while, im so glad to find this podcast to listen to his experience more in depth, what a kind, caring and strong character he is. May God bless him and his family ❤
Saw a clip on Instagram and I just felt forced to find the video. 5 years of my teenage/childhood I was suicidal. My mom walked in on me on my first attempt. A couple years after that, my cousin went through with it. He succeeded in his attempt. He showed me how the pain gets sent to everyone around. Kids, young boys and girls, young men and women, it isn’t worth it. All that pain you’re feeling will be amplified and broadcasted like an antenna. Keep pushing folks, life gets better I promise. It’s up to you to make it better
I thank Seamus for coming forward and sharing his heartbreaking story with us all. I hope he and his family find the strength and courage to get through the coming hours,days,weeks,months and years and that they will find peace in their hearts and hope in their souls that they will meet their precious son Thomas again some day ahead ❤️
Fantastic interview. When my ex got mentally ill all he wanted was for someone to listen to him. Years of bottling up from generations of men and a lifetime of taking on responsibility for his family who were immigrants in America. We need to support our men and listen. Sorry for the loss of your son its such a tragedy. we have so much to change especially in northern Ireland mens mental health here is terrible my own brother he was helped by doing CBT and running my other brother has been homeless and suicidal we are very lucky he has survived his battle with mental health so far. Time to shine a bright light on this issue.
I lost my best friend to suicide in 2007 it broke my heart and I miss the geeza every day but he lives on in my mind and heart and one day I'll see him again i tired for years to try and understand but never figured it out ... For anyone now going through this it will get better I promise it mite not happen over nite but it will keep on fighting .. praying for you all .
Seamus, how proud as a family we all are of you. Thank you for sharing, though hard as it is to watch I feel some how closer to you guys, as we never wanted to ask questions. You Karen and Sinead have this heavy weight you carry every single day. Some days the load is lighter than others. We thank you for what little time we all had with Thomas. With the water between us we didn't really see too much of Thomas as a child. But as he got to his teens we soon fell in love with him. He had the biggest personality in the room, the biggest smile and he was the biggest joker. All these beautiful individual memories we all hold so dear and they will never go away. Sending all of our love to you all darling Love Ann Tom and families x x x

Not morbid at all mate, we as Māori people spend time with our loved ones who have passed in the same room and sleep around them never leave them by themselves

Wow. I'm from near Ladbroke Grove and school holidayed in NI. Hopefully the only synergies with you Seamus. Strong man. Reach out if you need me.
A poignant and emotional topic but I have no doubt this will help anyone out there who feels hopeless ❤
