Child of mine - channel 4

[widgetbeana]

I have just finished watching this on catch up and have to say it is one of the best, most humbling, heartbreaking and sensitively made pieces of television.

I have suffered miscarriage myself and am quite vocal about it, and I have had friends suffer losses from premature birth. But somehow stillbirth was still something I know relatively little about.

I urge you to watch this, it is not an easy watch but it is powerful and those families show such bravery and honesty to talk about something we should all acknowledge and know about.

I just felt I needed to say how much I appreciated this and to urge others to learn more too.

I just wanted to say thank you widget. Today is the 5th birthday of my son who was still born at 37 weeks. For that reason I have not felt up to watching the programme yet but am pleased to hear it has been well received.
I am a Befriender for a well known babyloss charity and can honestly say that after supporting bereaved parents, raising awareness is next on our list. The world needs more people like yourself. Thank you for watching it and taking the time to spread the word. X

Don’t think I’ve ever cried so much through a documentary. Utterly heartbreaking, and such brave parents their strength is just incredible.

I have it recorded and I honestly don’t know if I can watch it. My only experience with still birth is losing my niece. But I think I should watch it.

@dunkinhobnobs I am so so sorry for your loss and so so grateful for the time you now give to others. I cannot express sympathy, other than to say you are so brave and amazing.

@Nicknacky I don't know anyone close t me who has been affected by this and it was a hard watch, but very worthwhile and humbling.

Thank you again for all who speak up and share their brave stories.

So hard to watch - the bravery of these couples is absolutely humbling. Howled from start to finish.
