- Profound love and loss
It may sound strange to say that I loved this podcast but I did. As a mom of 3 with 2 living daughters and having been a nurse for over 30 years I found this to be a long overdue conversation. I really appreciate the rawness and vulnerability and honesty.
While Sam and Kate talk about the loneliness and isolation, they also acknowledge the need for connection and inclusion. What is the right thing to say or do to help someone you love or perhaps barely know who may be experiencing this same tra... more

Not a regular podcast, horribly real, the way life is. Thank you for your effort on such a topic. Care for yourself.

I was astounded by the stats for both the babies dying and the road toll. I am in awe of the bravery of Kate and Sam - and all the others and I’ve known others myself. Mostly l loved hearing the things we can learn about death, dying, grief and Whanau from Maori. This was the best part, so human and without the stiff upper lip of Pakeha culture.

Thank you for sharing your incredible experience. I cried, giggled and could feel your emotions of everything you went through. Going through grief myself (not loss of child but sibling), it gave me a little insight of how you handled your loss. Kate & Sam - all the best to you and your beautiful family - it was a privilege to hear your story.

Thank you for telling stories of these brave people.
We have 3 healthy children who are now adults- but it doesn’t take away from the loss of 6 other babies.
It was so hard to go on & I don’t know how we did carry on, but we did.
I especially appreciated the discussion around how the losses affect parenting.
