Claire Darmody speaks to June Curtin.
June's husband John took his own life in 2013, and her son Calum and daughter Amelya lost their dad aged just 9 & 5. June talks about John; she shares what a great dad and husband he was, and what she can about the day died. She shares how she navigated explaining John's death to the children and the impact, the shock, grief and loss has had on them all. June also discusses the milestones and moments where they all still feel John's loss deeply, her own health issues that followed and how sea swimming is where she finds her healing, her tribe and her community.
