Listen "My Family's Journey Of Congenital Heart Disease, Grief, and Hope... Dominic's Story"
Episode Synopsis
Dom's message for anyone experiencing grief is simple: You are not alone. The Frawley family experienced devastating loss in 2013 when their youngest son, Malachy, passed away due to his complex congenital heart condition. Dom recently published a book reflecting on his family's journey through love, loss, grief and hope. In the book and in this episode, Dom opens up about the impact of the CHD journey on siblings, parenting through hardship and loss, and how we can all better support the people around us. With the backdrop being a touchingly beautiful father-son love story, it's also an ode to the special love and bond experienced between parent and child. This episode is for all parents, as well as anyone experiencing grief.
