Jade Huggins is a Senior Product Manager at Portmans. She’s also a mother of three, but while her first and third born are firmly in her arms, she sadly lost her middle child, Sonny, at 32 weeks.

Here, she shares her story with us: how she returned to paid work after loss and how she carried on through the worst pain of her life. She doesn’t sugar coat the impact losing Sonny has had on her, but somehow, she tells her story in a way that will leave you feeling heartbroken, yes, but also, hopeful.

If you need support after loss, PANDA, SANDS and Red Nose are some resources where you might find it.
