Jacqui Hurley: The Tragic Loss Oh Her Younger Brother And How Grief Has Changed Her Perspective On Life
life's too shortShow Notes
On the final episode of season two I speak with the inspiring Sports Broadcaster, Author and Mum, Jacqui Hurley.
We talk about the tragic and sudden death of her brother Seán. The gift he left in his bucket list and how the family completed it in his honour. And how much our perspective on life changes when we experience grief.
Jacqui has an incredible way of discussing her journey and sharing her story of loss. I learned so much from our discussion, and I hope you can too.
A beautiful and important conversation.
Thank you Jacqui x

More from life's too short
Christmas can intensify grief in ways you don’t expect. For many people, the festive season brings memories, longing, and a deep sense of absence - especially if you’re facing your first Christmas without someone you love.
This week’s episode is one I’ll carry with me for a long, long time.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Annabelle Reynolds for an incredibly honest conversation about complex grief - the kind of grief we don’t often talk about publicly. Annabelle shares the story of her father, a deeply kind and vibrant man whose life changed dramatically after the 2008 recession. Over the years, addiction, shame, and difficult family dynamics reshaped their relationship long before his death from esophageal cancer in 2019.
In this solo episode, I reflect on the idea of signs; the small, sometimes strange ways we feel our loved ones near after they’re gone.
In this week’s episode of Life’s Too Short, I speak with Morgan Cummins; an executive coach and recruiter who lost his dad suddenly more than 20 years ago. What began as an unimaginable shock became, over time, one of his greatest teachers.
