On today’s episode James tells he’s story.

(Just a warning for our listeners. In this episode we discuss the loss of a child)

As discussed in the episode there are some fantastic charities out there that do some great work around stillbirth and child loss.

The first charity I experienced was 4Louis:

4Louis - Memory Boxes for Child Loss, Charitable Organization

They provided a memory box for us in the hospital. They also provide Cuddle (cold) cots to Maternity units. They can be found on:
