A mum who welcomed a new baby four months after her toddler died 'for no reason' has spoken of the feelings of joy that were mixed with 'crushing sadness '.
Emily and Darren Bowes' precious three-year-old boy Alexander died suddenly on Boxing Day 2021 for reasons still unknown - a rare phenomena called Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood which causes around one child death per 100,000.
Emily, 34, was 26 weeks pregnant at the time but had to navigate her way through the deepest grief as she prepared to welcome the new addition to their family, Isabelle.
