Today, I am joined by Selina Goyal who sadly experienced baby loss 6 months ago. She has come on the podcast to break the silence on talking about baby loss- an experience that is more commonly experienced than we like to acknowledge. 

We cover why baby loss is different from other losses. Why is it difficult to talk about? Helpful and unhelpful things to say to bereaved parents. Selina shares advice she has for other bereaved parents and healthcare professionals when breaking bad news.
