About this episode

Lauren Keaney shares her emotional journey of losing her brother Thomas to a violent attack in Australia.

This week I sit down with Lauren Keaney who shares the devastating loss of her brother Thomas who died in Australia after being the victim of a one-punch attack. Thomas had emigrated from Galway and Lauren speaks about the shock of losing him so suddenly in such violent circumstances, and the heartbreak of having to bring him home to Ireland. She reflects on the impact of losing someone at the hands of another person, the shock, the pain, and the deep sense of injustice that can come with that kind of loss. This is a powerful and emotional conversation about sibling grief, sudden loss, and learning to live with something that should never have happened.
