Irreplaceable
Louise Moir
In 2011 Louise Moir was faced with the sudden and catastrophic death of her husband. At the age of 41, after losing his job the previous year, Daniel took his own life, leaving behind Louise, their two young sons and his two daughters from a previous marriage. Three years earlier, when she and Daniel had married, Louise had felt that she had more happiness than anyone deserved. Now her world was turned upside down.
Irreplaceable is the powerful and moving story of a journey into the unknown and the unthinkable, as a mother whose life seems comfortable and predictable sees it disintegrate in a way that she could never have imagined. Louise’s account of picking up the pieces afterwards is as absorbing as her portrayal of the build-up to her husband’s death. Her story is one of love, discovery, courage and healing. Irreplaceable bravely confronts the taboos that surround suicide and highlights the deficiencies in mental health care in the UK.
