When it comes to the death of your child, can time ever heal?

They say that ‘9 out of 10 marriages fail after the death of a child’.

Fiona Mclarty was happily married to her husband Imran. She had a great job working with him at Landmark Education. In 2002 her dreams were shattered. Today I talk to Fiona Mclarty about her experience of losing her son, and the impact on her relationship with Imran.

Fiona really illustrates how it is possible for a couple to go through, what could be described as ‘a parents worst nightmare’ and come through it feeling healed. Do listen to this extraordinary interview….

Fiona has asked me to include a video of her friends Karen, Shane and Sierra. Like her baby boy, Sierra was starved of oxygen at birth and as a consequence has Cerebral Palsey. Karen and Shane are looking to raise money for Sierra’s treatment. Please do take a look, and if you can, contribute something:

Every dollar helps, thank you. http://helpsierra.blogspot.com/

An extraordinarily moving and powerful interview. Fiona speaks with such clarity, and even peace, about a desperately tragic event, and I am left inspired by what is possible in the face of even the worst imaginable circumstances. I am touched by the emotion of what happened and yet the absence of drama. Very profound Fiona and a real contribution to others.
