Iona and Luke: Growing life around grief

Stacey meets Iona and Luke, who lost their first baby Oscar and are expecting again. As the due date nears, they learn how to celebrate their baby girl whilst remembering Oscar.

Stacey meets Iona and Luke - who should be full of joy as they expect their first baby girl but, instead, they feel guilty and anxious. It’s been over a year since their son Oscar died, 13 hours after being born. The trauma and grief caused by losing him is stopping them from celebrating the arrival of new life, fearing it could happen again. But as the pregnancy progresses, Iona and Luke learn that it is possible to move on, without doing a disservice to Oscar.
