This podcast series focuses on the experience of parents of children who have died or are likely to have a short life. Despite advances in health care, children and young people still sadly die from a range of life limiting conditions. The parents in this series have been supported by palliative care teams to face multiple challenges in caring for their children.

The death of every child is unimaginably devastating and tragic. The grief that follows is individual, powerful and lifelong — a rollercoaster of often unpredictable emotions. Families tell us it's okay to be okay, and it's okay to not be okay.
In this episode, two bereaved parents discuss the range of emotions and triggers that impacted them and their family. They share the love and beauty of their children, the enormity of their losses and how connections and memories allow them to continue to live meaningful lives.
