Katie Russell’s daughter died when she was just 12 hours old in April 2021. She was a perfectly healthy, beautiful baby, she died due to failings in health care services. Katie's mental health was severely impacted by grief and PTSD after a traumatic birth.
This impacted the pregnancy with her son significantly. She now works hard to help support others through child and baby loss sharing her grief story to help others know they are not alone.
Now, before we dive into this emotionally charged conversation, let's take a moment to express gratitude for the precious gift of life, even in its most fleeting forms. Remember, my dear listeners, you are not alone. In sharing these stories, we hope to create a space where healing can begin, and where love and compassion can light the way.
I'm honored to have you with me as we explore the depths of grief, the strength to endure, and the power of telling our stories.
