In this deeply moving episode, host Heather sits down with Angela Clifford, the Northern Neat Freak and declutter and home organising expert, to talk about the loss of her baby son Brian, who died just 10 days old from meningitis in 1988.

Angela shares her story with remarkable honesty — losing her son at just 17, at a time when grief was expected to be buried rather than spoken about. She reflects on the isolation she felt, the sisters who had babies at the same time, and the decades she spent carrying that trauma in silence. It was only in her forties, with the right support around her, that she finally allowed herself to fully grieve — and found the courage to have Brian’s name tattooed on her arm.

This episode is a gentle and powerful reminder that grief does not have an expiry date, and that it is never too late to talk.

• The loss of a baby to meningitis and the shock of sudden infant loss
• Growing up fast and carrying grief without support
• How unspoken grief affects relationships and mental health over time
• Finding the courage to acknowledge loss — including getting Brian’s name tattooed
• Keeping a child’s memory alive and talking openly with your family

A powerful episode about what it means to carry love for a child across a lifetime, and why it is never too late to talk.

In this deeply personal and emotional episode, host Heather sits down with her husband Barry Rose for an honest conversation about baby loss from a man’s perspective.

Together, they open up about the heartbreak of losing seven babies, the silent grief men often carry, and the conversations they perhaps never truly had at the time. From feeling pressure to stay strong, to navigating pain privately while supporting a partner through unimaginable loss, this episode shines a light on the emotional reality many fathers and partners experience behind closed doors.

This raw and heartfelt conversation explores grief, trauma, relationships, emotional survival, healing, and the impact baby loss can have on both people in a relationship in very different ways.

• Baby loss from a father’s and partner’s perspective
• The pressure men feel to stay strong and grieve in silence
• How loss affects relationships and communication as a couple
• Navigating grief differently when you’re the support for someone else
• The importance of men having open conversations about loss

This episode may feel emotional for some listeners, but the hope is that it helps others feel less alone and encourages more open conversations around baby loss — especially for the men whose voices are so often unheard.

Please listen gently and take care of yourself while listening.

In this deeply moving episode, host Heather sits down with Sarah Stephens, a visibility strategist and founder of the Global Visibility Club, to discuss child loss, grief, and the extraordinary legacy she has built in memory of her children.

Sarah opens up about losing her daughter Violet at just 15 months old — a little girl who loved Katherine Jenkins, travelled the world, and touched the hearts of everyone she met. She also speaks with remarkable honesty about the devastating decision to terminate a subsequent pregnancy with her son Arthur after a serious brain condition was discovered at the 20-week scan, and how the grief of those two losses, so different from each other, shaped everything that followed.

She reflects on being high-functioning in grief, the friends who disappeared, the anxiety of pregnancy after loss, and how raising £50,000 for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital gave her something to hold on to when there were no answers. She also shares why she went public after Channel 4’s In The Dog House edited out all mention of child loss from her appearance on the show.

• Losing a child and navigating grief in your own way
• Termination for medical reasons and the unique grief that follows
• High-functioning grief and why it can isolate you further
• Losing friendships after child loss
• Building a legacy to keep your children’s memory alive
• Pregnancy after loss and the anxiety it brings
• Why we must say the names of the children we have lost

Whether you have experienced child loss or want to better support someone who has, this episode is a powerful reminder that these children existed, they matter, and they deserve to be remembered.
