AF002  Pregnancy after loss - A Mum's perspective

In episode two of a Journey with Abigail's Footsteps, we explore the painful reality of baby loss. It features three mothers, Molly, Sarah and Dein, who share their heart-wrenching experiences and how they found support in Abigail's Footsteps - a charity providing counselling services, memory-making resources and training for healthcare professionals. The discussion also highlights the importance of bereavement suites in hospitals and calls for better access to grief counselling services. Later in the episode, Nicola talks with Sam Collins, an Ambassador for Abigail's Footsteps who is the co-author of a Government published Pregnancy Loss review and Amneet Graham who set up the 'Willow's Rainbow Box' charity to help parents who are having another baby after a loss.

We spend our lives squinting past the inevitable reality of our own death. But suppose we were able to talk about it openly, to shape it, to embrace it so that by contemplating a good death, we could become fully alive?

Dr Judith Wester is a thanatologist: an academic who specialises in the study of death, dying and the cultural rituals of many nations.  Her life is given to teaching others of all ages and in all walks of life how to broach this subject with themselves and so with other people.  In this deep dive into death, Judith explains the difference between death, dying and dead, between grief, mourning and bereavement - and looks into the ways we could explore beyond the inevitable mortality of each of us, to the mortality of our culture - and how something new might be reborn from the ashes in this time of Corona Lockdown.
