A Co Antrim man has opened up on how he is using poetry to help him and others following the loss of a dear friend to cancer. Jim Brown from Newtownabbey was prompted to donate money to Marie Curie after staff provided end of life care to his friend Elaine McBride. Elaine, a mother of one from Gilnahirk in east Belfast, was 62 when she died at the Marie Curie Belfast Hospice in July 2019. Jim and his wife Helen had been close friends with Elaine and her husband John for over two decades. Their families spent time on trips to the Crom Estate in Co Fermanagh every July with a group of other families to camp, canoe, swim, and explore the beautiful surroundings with a mob of kids ranging from toddlers to boisterous teenagers
