Oliver Foran was 16 when his mother died of brain cancer. Too young to process the grief, he says he internalised everything and for eight years did not shed a tear.
“I didn’t really deal with it... I didn’t cry… I didn’t show any emotion about it,” he tells The Independent. On the outside, everything was fine. He launched a business in real estate, and his life had structure and direction. “But I felt empty inside,” he recalls. Finally, he decided to do something about it.
