Hannah Johnston should be looking forward to her youngest son William’s third birthday.
But instead of baking a cake, wrapping gifts and hosting a party, Hannah will mark the date this month by releasing a balloon and planting a rose bush in memory of William, who died in November 2021 at 21 months.
To lose a child is every parent’s nightmare, but Hannah’s grief is compounded by the fact that she does not even know why William died.
