The door knock that changed everything

When nurse Rachel Surtees split from her partner Carl, she was keen for him to continue having a strong relationship with their newborn son.

Hudson was 12 weeks old when he went to stay with his dad overnight. But the next day, police knocked on her door with bewildering and shocking news.

Three years on and determined to keep her son’s memory alive, Rachel tells her story to Dr Sian Williams, in the hope it helps others navigating grief.
