Show Notes

During Baby Loss Awareness week we ask what on earth to say to people who've lost a pregnancy or a baby - at whatever stage.  Di Stubbs of Child Bereavement UK says don't say 'Just call me - anytime'. Instead phone with questions like 'I'm in Sainsbury's can I pick anything up for you' or 'I've only got half a load of washing can I do yours', or 'I'm taking my kids to the park can I take yours? Something they can say an easy yes to without having to think'
