How Grief Helped Me Grow with Justin Caffery
Listen now
Description
This week’s guest, Justin Caffery and his wife Beatrice have gone through something no parents should ever have to deal with in their lifetime. The loss of a child.  In 2011 after a series of devastating miscarriages, Beatrice became pregnant once more. 25 weeks into the pregnancy during a family holiday in Malaga, Beatrice’s waters broke, leading to the extremely premature birth of their son Joshua. Joshua was born with a host of medical complications causing Justin and his wife and 4 year old son to uproot their lives for the next 11 months and act as carers in a city completely foreign to them. In this truly incredible interview, Justin speaks in detail about their own experiences in losing Joshua, as well as the incredible road his grief has brought him on.
