Tell Me the Truth About Loss: A Psychologist’s Personal Story of Loss, Grief and Finding Hope

A beautiful and hopeful book for when life isn’t what you expect it to be.

In March 2017, Niamh Fitzpatrick’s life fell apart overnight. Her beloved sister Dara was killed in a helicopter crash. Soon afterwards, Niamh’s marriage disintegrated, and she feared she would lose her house, beside her remaining family. Life as she knew it had ended and the cumulative loss, in terms of impact, was staggering.

A psychologist for many years, Niamh guides clients on their journey to overcome the worst of times in their lives. She had to draw on this skillset herself, first to survive and then, in time, begin to thrive after such significant loss. Tell Me the Truth About Loss documents a psychologist’s journey through loss, grief and the hardest of times, finding hope along the way.

‘Niamh’s words will resonate with anyone who has suffered loss but ultimately she offers hope.’ Anne Dunne, Irish Independent Review

‘Tell Me the Truth About Loss is as much about the enduring power of love as it as an honest - and often raw - journey through the grief that engulfed Niamh’ Maria Moynihan, Irish Farmer’s Journal

‘There aren’t enough books like this one - and its existence will be a comfort to many’ Nadine O'Regan, Sunday Business Post Magazine
