Danny's story - a story shared from Australia for Say Their Name Day
When Danny's mum gave birth to her baby boy at 32 weeks, he was born silent. As she watched the medical team perform CPR on her baby, she knew in her heart he wasn't going to survive but until the doctor turned around to say sorry, she didn't want to believe it. Over time with the support of friends, family and her local Sands group, Danny's mum began to feel less overwhelmed with her grief. She shares how support from Sands was extremely important to her following Danny's death and how she found great comfort in having a safe space to talk about him and her grief with other bereaved parents and families. As Sands launch their first Say Their Name Day in the UK, she also shares the importance of saying Danny's name and making sure his siblings can talk about him and ask questions.
