Afternoons with Helen Farmer

The other side of baby loss

Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Show Notes

October is Baby Loss Awareness Month, and today we're talking about how we support families through something so devastating. What role do healthcare professionals play? Why do so many people still feel unable to talk about their experiences? When we talk about pregnancy and baby loss, understandably much of the conversation centres on mothers. But what about dads? We're also exploring raising children who understand that their boundaries matter, and so do other people’s. And on our Money Matters hour, we ask: When does living somewhere become financially unsustainable? How do you know whether you need to change your spending, increase your income, or seriously consider whether you can afford to stay?
