The Happy Somedays Podcast has always been about letting people with real stories have a platform and a voice they otherwise wouldn't have to raise awareness of issues and causes close to their hearts. In this episode, our next guest, Kelly Jones, reached out herself a asking if she could do just that.
Kelly unfortunately has lived experience of baby loss - Not just once, but twice - and she requested some time to sit with us and discuss how it has affected her, as well as highlighting some of the amazing people and organisations that helped her at her lowest point. Each year, October 9th - 15th is known globally as Baby Loss Awareness Week. Across the week and beyond, people who have unfortunately experienced baby loss come together to show support, talk and raise awareness of a subject which is difficult to tackle, but nevertheless so important to highlight. Happy Somedays is proud to support the awareness week and go #PinkandBlue for Baby Loss Awareness.
A big thank you to Kelly for showing incredible strength throughout this episode and in general for wanting to break down barriers and talk about her experiences.
If you or someone you know has been affected by the issues that will be raised in the episode, please remember that you are not alone. You can gather support and further information at Tommy's, Sands, the stillbirth & neonatal death charity and Miscarriage Association. Kelly is also raising money for Sands and has raised an incredible amount so far but always wants to raise more! If you can spare any amount, big or small, please donate to: https://fundraising.sands.org.uk/fundraisers/kellyjones3912?fbclid=IwAR01WNoS7QYRmVPnoYurnfA6GoAwfgrAk_vB-UuZabFd0o3UpzHqep6V3QM
