How did you deal with loss? Faith, you know, I’m Irish, I’m Catholic, the church has been a big part of my life, prayer has been a big part of my life, and so that’s just ingrained in my own being. I had good family around me, I had my children.
The recent case which drew much attention is Keisha Smith, an environmental activist and wife of Pierce Brosnan. She has been seen in public events with a distinct new look, sparking many people’s interest in her inspiring story. Join us as we take a look at her new look and her secrets to getting there.
But before we explore the reasons behind her recent transformation, let’s delve deeper into Brosnan’s early life and career leading up to Keisha’s transformation. Brosnan’s childhood was rather tragic and hard, characterized by abandonment, poverty, and loneliness. He was born on May 16th, 1953, in Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland, as the only child of May Smith and Thomas Brosnan, a carpenter by profession.
Pierce’s father deserted the family when he was still very young, and his mother raised him all alone. Brosnan’s mother was a nurse who had to leave for London after his father left the home. He was raised principally by his mother’s parents, Philip and Kathleen Smith, from the age of four in Navan, County Meath, and considers himself to be from there. These years were significant in the formation of Pierce’s sense of self and perceived place in society. He has frequently discussed his grandparents, who taught him about his Irish background and Catholic faith.
But for Pierce, his childhood was quite unfortunate since it was full of changes of residence. After losing his grandparents, who had taken up the responsibility of raising him when he was a baby after his father left and his mother got a job in London, Pierce felt lost. Different living situations with other relatives were temporary, and this time he ended up in a boarding house owned by Eileen.
This time was undoubtedly lonely for Pierce, a young boy who wanted to feel accepted and secure in something. However, this physical separation did not mean that Pierce’s mother, May, was out of the picture. Once or twice a year, she went back to Ireland to spend some time with her son and bring him to visit London. These trips introduced Pierce to a life that was very different from the country boy he used to be. The urban environment of the city, with its diverse population and spirit, paved the way for change in the course of his life.
