Family Flowers Only with Laura Hynes
This week on Family Flowers Only, I’ve partnered with the Road Safety Authority to highlight the dangers of drink driving.
My guest is Laura Hynes who shares her heartbreaking story of being in a car crash caused by a driver under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Four people were in that car and two lost their lives including Laura’s boyfriend Brendan.
Laura speaks with honesty about the devastation of that night, the grief that followed, and the lasting impact of losing Brendan in such a sudden and preventable way. It’s a powerful reminder of the lives shattered by drink driving, and why these conversations matter.

Family Flowers Only by Grief Ireland
During the pandemic I created a community on Instagram called Grief Ireland. It was following the death of my sister Elaine and her husband Pa. I found Grief to be still a taboo subject, unspoken, and a topic that not many wanted to discuss. Unless of course those who were in "the club no-one wants to be in". But to find those people was difficult. So I went on a mission to open the conversation, to comfort those who mourn, to educate those who don't, to hold space for others to talk about their Grief, Love and Loss and to remember our loved ones and ensure that they would never be forgotten.
