It's Baby Loss Awareness Week, so in this Chops Hannah chats to Karen Burgess, CEO of baby loss counselling charity Petals, and Lia Shimada, one of the bereaved mothers helped by the service. They talk about the shame and blame around the loss of a child, what society can do to help reduce that, what's helpful to say or do for parents grieving this loss and – importantly – what's not.
