On January 7th, Sinead O Connor s 17 year old son, Shane O Connor was found dead after being missing for 2 days. Sinead O Connor has checked into a special centre to help her with her mental health challenges following her son s suicide. This news sent me off exploring Sinead s great body of work and the many songs she has written about motherhood and children - some of them being very personal songs about her own children as she is the Mother of four children.
