Sitting in the Space with Mary
Welcome to Sitting in the Space with Mary.
A Podcast sharing stories of sitting in the tough emotional spaces of health crises and diagnosis. Mary Prentice is your host, a Pastoral Practitioner for the past 9 years, where I have spoken to and supported thousands of patients and family members in hospitals in Western Australia.
In each episode I interview either a patient who has touched their own mortality or health challenge, or a member of the medical team or a family member who has sat alongside patients during these crisis times.
Tune in fortnightly to hear stories that will make you hold your breath or cheer! Get in touch if you have a story to share - it will no doubt help others in a similar situation. Please, share this podcast with a friend or someone you care about.

S2 Ep 6A Till Heike a personal experience with Stillbirth
October is the month for commemorating pregnancy and infant loss. My mission is to continue to highlight the support available to women and families who suffer the loss of their baby from the early weeks of gestation, through to full term. Red Nose is an organisation who does amazing work with families who suffer these losses and this episode is Part One from the personal experience of Till Heike, who approximately 11 years ago experienced Stillbirth.

Please contact me if you would like to listen to a certain aspect of the emotional experience around medical diagnosis, treatment, surviving or dying.
My hope is that the experiences shared on the podcast can be related to and possibly provide comfort and some healing.
I wish you well.
Mary
