Show Notes

What happens when there’s nobody left?


In the first episode of Season 4, journalist Deirdre O’Shaughnessy talks about grief, losing both her parents, and what it means to rebuild life as an only child.


We explore the strange mix of survival and strength, the isolation of carrying memories alone, and how loss reshapes identity, relationships, and perspective.


Deirdre has also just launched her own podcast, The Deirdre O’Shaughnessy Podcast from the Irish Examiner, that will air every Tuesday and Friday.
