BBC Radio 4 - One to One, Paddy O'Connell meets Chantal

Paddy O'Connell explores the effect of great emotional upheaval on family life.

Paddy O'Connell explores the effect of great emotional upheaval on family life. He meets Chantal, who was widowed in 1995 and left to bring up three children alone.

Paddy O'Connell explores a subject that reflects his own experience: the effect of great emotional upheaval on family life. When Paddy was 11 his father died which, of course, meant that his mother was widowed.

In the first of two programmes, Paddy meets Chantal who was widowed in 1995 and left to bring up three children alone. They discuss the initial reactions; the process of gradually moving on with your life; when - if ever - is it the right time to remove your wedding rings; and - if you do meet someone new - what role does the memory of your first partner play in your new relationship. 

Producer: Karen Gregor.
