The sudden death of Munster and Ireland rugby ace Anthony “Axel” Foley in 2016 left his wife Olive and their two young sons, Tony and Dan, completely heartbroken.
Without any warnings the family had lost its anchor, but visits to the Children’s Grief Centre in Limerick city helped them learn the tools necessary to navigate their grief, particularly young Tony and Dan’s.
