Andrea Corr has spoken about the heart break of losing her mother from a rare form of lung disease.
Jean was 57 when she died, and now Andrea, 40, has said she’s still not over her death in 1999.
“Before this, she had been a healthy, hap- py non-smoker. She had a lust for life and an appreciation of the moment. She loved life, she loved daddy and she loved us.”
“I’ll never be without the ache of her absence and sometimes I think I miss her more than ever now I am a mother myself.”

Writing in a blog for the British Lung Foundation she added: “I named my daughter – my first baby – Jean, after her. I try to keep her alive.”
Describing the rare disease IPF as a “devastating disease”, Andrea said she wants to support fundraising so they can find a cure.
Andrea is mum to two children, giving birth to a son this year who she named Brett after her billionaire husband Brett Desmond.
