Trigger Warning
Dan’s episode contains themes of loss and grief that you may find triggering and difficult to listen to.
In the latest Mens Mental Health episode, Skewber James Tyreman sits down with Daniel Shakespeare, who shares his heartbreaking story of loss and grief.
This summer, Dan and his wife Jenny lost their son Bertie at 22 weeks old. Dan opens up about what the last few months have been like for him, in the hopes of encouraging others to speak about their own grief.
Dan and his partner Jenny have set up a fundraising page for Little Cloud, a charity which supports bereaved parents with micro-premature clothing and 3D casting. The team help create memory items for other parents like Dan and Jenny who experience loss before, during or after birth.
