Remembering Forest

In this episode Helena sits down with Elizabeth, Forest’s mum, to honour her son’s life and the path she has walked since his death. Forest was born early after a diagnosis that led to an interruption of pregnancy, an experience that reshaped Elizabeth’s understanding of connection, love, and what it means to mother a baby who is no longer physically here. Elizabeth shares the music she listened to with Forest,  she reflects on the profound realisations that emerged after his death, including how she now thinks about birthdays. Today, Elizabeth volunteers with baby-loss organisations and leads creative support sessions for those navigating grief. She hosts individual and couples grief retreats in Northern Portugal, designed as restorative spaces for remembrance, grounding, and deep emotional processing.

Remembering Kayode

In this episode, Helena is joined by Wunmi, Kayode’s mama. Wunmi tenderly shares the story of her son, Kayode, who was born on the 23rd of December 2023 a strong baby boy with the most beautiful, expressive eyes, just like his mama. From the moment he arrived, he showed strength and presence lifting his head with confidence, even in his first few weeks of life. Wunmi speaks openly about her pregnancy journey, which was deeply impacted by hyperemesis gravidarum. She recalls funny moments like missing Beyoncé’s concert or the brain fog that comes with pregnancy.  She then shares the heartbreaking moments when Kayode’s health took a sudden turn. After developing sepsis, her concerns for her son were not taken seriously, and his condition deteriorated quickly. Wunmi and her family spent three emotional and sacred weeks at Acorns Children’s Hospice, where they eventually said "See you later" to their precious boy. Through love and courage, Wunmi keeps Kayode’s name alive. This episode honours his life, his strength, and the everlasting bond between a mother and her son.
