Story Abstract |
"Patricia lives in Buncrana. She lost her son Sean (12) on a student visit to Omagh. Patricia lives two doors away from Bemie Doherty who also lost her son Oran on the trip. Patricia talks quietly and openly about Sean. She is angry about the loss of Sean and this is evident when we talk. We sit in the living room and talk for about an hour." Spencer, G. (2005; p.63) |
