Episode 15 – Helen
For today’s episode, we are joined by Cathy, Helen’s loving mammy. Cathy shares the joy she felt during her pregnancy and how Helen will always hold a very special place in her heart, making her a mammy forever. She speaks about the devastating circumstances surrounding Helen’s birth, when both her own life and Helen’s were placed at risk, and the heartbreaking loss of her precious daughter. In this conversation, Cathy reflects on the mediation process that followed, which resulted in an acknowledgement of the care they received, an apology for Helen’s death, and changes being made to help improve care for other families. She speaks about the comfort of knowing that Helen’s legacy has helped bring about positive change. Cathy also shares the tradition of Helen’s Day, a day that has evolved over the years but ensures Helen is always celebrated and remembered with love.
