On todays episode of family flowers only I speak to Kathleen Chada

Kathleen is from Carlow, she is a nurse and mom to Eoghan and RuairÍ. She is a campaigner for real justice and author of the book “Everything”

Please be aware the following details some listeners might find upsetting and in this episode we discuss murder, suicide ideation, death and loss.

On July 29, 2013, Kathleen’s former husband Sanjeev Chada murdered their sons, Eoghan (10) and Ruairí (5), and later attempted to take his own life.

He killed the boys in Ballintubber, Co Mayo, and their bodies were found in the boot of his car which he had crashed near Westport in an attempt to take his own life.

He pleaded guilty in court and was handed two life sentences to run concurrently.

Kathleen has often spoke publicly about what happenedand the justice side of things but I wanted to give her the opportunity to  focus on the boys, who they were and what they were like,  and about her own personal experiences through Grief and loss.

She is such an impressive woman who gave so much wisdom and many insights into how she copes since her horrific loss.
