Episode 28 - Finding David - A Tragedy Abroad with Ciara O'Malley

The lovely Ciara talks to me about the tragic death of her boyfriend of 10 years, David, who sadly died in a drowning accident while they were living their best lives in Vancouver. Life suddenly took a turn for the worst and the world that she knew had crumbled right in front of her. Since the accident, Ciara has written her own book called ‘Miracles Appear When Loved Ones Are Near’ and she speaks with such honesty and rawness about the emotions and tough times she went through over the months that they searched for David’s body and the years following that. She is living proof that everything happens for a reason and loved ones are always guiding us. She is honestly one of the nicest and more caring people I have encountered and I encourage everyone to listen to her positivity because if she can come out the other side of a tragedy like that mentally and go on to help others then we all have the ability to overcome whatever battles we face. This episode is a two-parter so keep an eye out for part 2 in the next few days.
