A new RNZ podcast by Susie Ferguson, The Unthinkable, explores the heartbreak of losing a baby at birth or shortly after. This happens to around 600 New Zealand families every year. RNZ reporter Kate Gudsell and her husband Sam Arcus' daughter Wren lived for just 6 days, in the neonatal unit at Wellington Hospital. That story is is told in Episode 1.
Susie chats to Jessie about a project three and a half years' in the making.
