Welcome to A Journey with Abigail's Footsteps, a podcast about the difference this baby loss charity is making to lives across the country. Join Nicola Everett, a very proud ambassador of Abigail's footsteps, a charity that supports families at an incredibly difficult time in their lives, and provides specialist training to health care professionals. Sadly, in the UK, it's estimated that one in four pregnancies ends in the loss of a baby. Despite that figure, it's still something that many find difficult to talk about and families can face a wall of silence....we're hoping that this series of podcasts will break down that wall. Parents will be sharing their own experiences, which at times may be difficult to listen to, but we will also hear their inspirational stories of resilience and hope and how you can get involved in making a difference to so many amazing families.
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.
