Trigger warning: It is important to be aware that this episode covers sensitive subjects that some listeners may find triggering. So, if you have experienced a recent or similar bereavement, or you feel that descriptions of medical procedures, loss of life and childbirth might be upsetting or unsuitable for you or those around you, then you may choose to skip this episode.

Welcome to the ‘Women in Sports Therapy' podcast from the Sports Therapy Association. In this month's episode we’re joined by Massage Therapy practitioner Debbie Cutts, from Body Tune Therapy and Rowena Pailing from Sands - a UK-based charity supporting those grieving from baby loss.

Every two hours a family is faced with the devastating news of the death of their baby in the UK. Every day around 13 babies die before, during or soon after birth. In this episode, Rowena describes her role working for Sands and offers information about the much needed services they provide to those affected by the loss of a baby’s life, We also hear from Debbie about her own personal experience of loss and how she found support from Sands and her network of friends and family.

Debbie’s is a particularly moving story. We hope that in hearing how she coped this this tragic loss, and is now channeling her grief, that we can all understand better how to support others through this heartbreaking and sadly all-too-common life event.

All information about the support and resources described in this episode are linked in the show notes to enable access to any help you might need regardless of whether you list.
