Show Notes
On today’s episode I speak with singer, guitarist, and Ireland’s “rising star of jazz” Charlie Moon.
He speaks with me today about the untimely death of his eldest sister Claire, how the combined grief within this family has brought them closer together, and how a little street in Wicklow town has connected them to their sister and daughter.
Charlie also speaks to me about the authors, books & beliefs that have helped him understand life and death, and we discuss the full circle of birth, death and life as he prepares to become a Father for the first time.
I found this conversation with Charlie fascinating – his deep insight into his grief is remarkable, and I feel I learnt a lot about my own grief from chatting with him.
I hope you can take what you need from this conversation too.

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.
