Joining Rachel on Episode 7 of The Skies We’re Under are two wonderful couples, from the Hull Parent Carer Forum exploring the relationship aspects of Families.
Bren and Laura, Jenny and Karl reflect on how they met, how having disabled children has impacted their relationships, how they find time for each other, and what advice they would give to other couples facing the same challenges.
It’s all about remembering what we love, who we are, and the connections we make.

Join Rachel and Sarah for Season 4, Episode 6 of 'The Skies We’re Under' podcast.
Today they are joined by two more wonderful ladies, who also happen to be their mums: Jan Hooks and Liz Goldsmith. They talk about how life turned upside down for them alongside their children.
In this moving episode, Sarah and Rachel also discuss a summer which has seen both of them facing some significant changes to their households, especially Rachel. There is also a recurring theme of getting pets as a form of coping with life throwing sh*t at you.

CONTENT WARNING - This episode contains discussions about Fostering; Children With Difficult Childhoods; Mental Health Issues and Life Limiting Conditions. If this will be difficult for you to listen to, please choose another episode.
Rachel is joined by Lucy today, as they continue to explore families and the different forms that families take.
In particular they focus on fostering, and how that can feel from both a fostered child’s perspective, and that of a foster carer. They are joined by Dave May, listener to the podcast, father to two daughters, very proud Grandad and a foster carer for two decades.
Dave talks through the experience of both short term and long term placements, his family’s experience of fostering disabled children and moving from fostering to shared lives when children reach adulthood.
Dave reflects on the additional complexity when fostering disabled children and the wealth of experience gained from fostering 27 children. He also shares his top ‘Sh*t Things Practitioners Say’ (We told you he was a fan of the podcast!)

Join Rachel for Episode 4 of The Skies We’re Under podcast, this week we’ve swapped out two Mum’s in exchange for two Dads (Brendan Jones and Tim Wright) - to get a different perspective on life as a parent of a disabled child.
Whilst they cover many well trodden paths: the pain that can come with comparison, rubbish message delivery and the clanger of ‘special children get special parents’ they illustrate a slightly different story.
Brendan and Tim focus on the difficulties of adjusting the life you had imagined, to the life you have whilst dealing with the traditional roles that Fathers often (but not always) fulfil. From focussing on practical support, to ‘making up’ on the weekends, they consider the ways that stereotypically male ways of coping, can both help, and hinder.
There is plenty of reflection on finding the right communities of support around us, including the fantastic charity 'Unique', to how to talk to those who ‘get it’ and those who don’t, and just how sometimes you need to just get away from it all.

Join Rachel, Sarah and Lucy for 'Part Two' of our episode on siblings. They reflect on the discussions with their children, and the unique insight that siblings of disabled children have, that are so rarely heard.
They discuss the heartbreak, the admiration for how bloody lovely they are, and their honesty (some stories they heard were new to them).

In addition to reflecting on how blooming awesome their kids are, (because they really are) the team also share more about the usual drama free lives they lead. From visits to documentary-meriting Accident and Emergency departments to dashes across Europe to breaking your foot when you are dancing in your bedroom.

Join Rachel for our fourth and final 'Raincheck' of the Summer Holidays.
This week, we have another short reflection on trust. Trust isn’t just an external experience with others but also an internal relationship with ourselves. This short rain check replays a couple of key conversations we’ve had about trust and how it has been warped and reshaped by our experiences as parent carers.

Join Rachel for our third 'Raincheck' of the Summer.
While you wait for new content, here is a short extract from earlier episodes to tide you over.
This week is all about trust.
Rachel didn’t realise how important trust played in professional relationships until she transitioned from one end of the bed, as a healthcare professional, to the other, as a parent of someone with complex medical needs. The difference it makes is like taking a deep breath.
