Memories of a man ‘with a huge heart’ return every day
Gerry Ryan: When he needed his friends most, the answer was always no
My therapist tells me it is seasonal memory. I find it a bit strange, since in the southern hemisphere where I now live, there are no cherry blossoms blooming as they are now in Herbert Park.
Instead, in anticipation of the winter the leaves are changing colour. And still, every year this deep, dark sadness consumes me as we get closer to April 30. Perhaps, Gabor Mate is right: “The body does keep the score.”
