Grieving mum 'lost friends' because they 'didn't know what to say' after son was stillborn

A mum who had a stillbirth and a miscarriage in the same year has been touched by the efforts her son is going to to raise money for a special cot that helps bereaved parents.

Natalie Rigby from Maghull has spoken about how she battled through the trauma of losing two sons in one year. The 40-year-old gave birth to her second son Jenson at the beginning of 2019 but he was sadly stillborn.

When Jenson was born, he was placed in a cold cot that allowed Natalie, along with her husband Andrew, 42, and son Oscar, 12, to spend time with him. Following the tragedy, Natalie again found herself pregnant later that year but was left hurting when she miscarried late into the pregnancy.
