Sisters speak out about female suicide and the importance of reaching out

In the days before she died, Sarah O’Farrell went swimming with her sister Anna at the Forty Foot at Sandycove, Dublin. It was something they always enjoyed together.

“Sea swims are one of my favourite memories with Sarah because I think she got such a buzz after it,” Anna said. “We would pop down on random days. On one of the last days the two of us spent together, we went for a sea swim and to the saunas afterwards. It was really special.”
