The loss of one’s parents can be a ‘deeply traumatic’ experience for both young and old.

That’s according to Journalist Deirdre O’Shaughnessy, who lost both her parents in the past three years…

Deirdre is the Opinion Editor at the Irish Examiner and host of the Deirdre O’Shaughnessy Podcast, she joins Seán to discuss.
