Paul Field is a singer, songwriter, and former member & manager of The Wiggles. Paul is also a bereaved father and advocate for child safety and SIDS awareness. His life took an unexpected and heartbreaking turn with the loss of his daughter Bernadette to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) a tragedy that has shaped both his personal journey and his commitment to helping others through grief.

In this moving episode, Paul opens up about navigating the unimaginable loss of a child, sharing how grief has woven itself into his life in waves rather than stages. He speaks about the power of remembering loved ones, the importance of open conversations about grief and the significance of clinging together in times of loss, and the role of Red Nose Day in raising awareness and preventing SIDS.
