Nicky joins Jenni and Nick to talk about caring for her daughter Naomi who was born with a degenerative and life-limiting condition and about her death at the age of 7. Nicky describes how they explained Naomi’s death and cremation to her brother.
As a fellow professional, Nicky tells Jenni how her experience of parenting Naomi has guided her to co-found the charity SLOW and how it has helped in the bereavement group work that they do together.
