'Me grieving makes them uncomfortable' - Why Irish men need to talk about loss. TheHardShoulder

One man who lost his father to suicide says Irish men feel 'uncomfortable' around other people grieving.

"Initially I attended one-to-one bereavement support; and shortly after that came to its natural conclusion, there wasn't much in the way of either individual or group bereavement support. "But then there's an expectation of the grief to end after a month, or after the first anniversary, and then you should be back to normal by then."I still grieve, I'm not as impacted by the grief but I do still grieve"."Anytime I've expressed vulnerability with my contemporaries, I get a 'Oh keep the chin up' and I get these kind of platitudes.

"Men make up about 80% of all suicides in this country, so to not have them take part in this really important piece of research - the first ever in this country - would be really a travesty.
