Ep 47. Karen Burgess, Founder & CEO Petals, with Alice Bailey: Life after Baby Loss
Description
"Petals supported us through our absolute darkest days."
Trigger warning: This episode explores and talks about miscarriage, stillbirth and baby loss.
Baby loss and miscarriage is something that many parents face and yet it is still something that is not openly talked about in today’s society.
In this very special episode, I speak with Karen Burgess, Founder & CEO of the charity Petals, that provides counselling support to families affected by baby loss. Karen and I are joined by Alice. Alice shares with us the story of her daughter, Vera, and the journey that she and her husband, Dave, have been on with Petals.
Together we seek to dispel the stigma surrounding baby loss and encourage those who need support to reach out to specialist services like Petals.
