Hiking as a meditation to talk about stillborns


Monday is health day and we had Phunyezwa Portia Sifo on our show this afternoon. Very courageous testimony on how she gave birth to her daughter Lelo, a stillborn. With 'Hiking for Lelo' she wants to broaden up the discussion about stillborns and connect grieving parents.

Phunyezwa also told us she had a missed-miscarriage before and the after her daughter being chillborn she was on the brink of a depression. With going for hikes in the mountains she could clear her mind. She felt the need to talk about her daughter a lot and started the initiative 'Hiking for Lelo', inviting other grieving parents.

It's already the 13th hike now and attendence varies. Sometimes they are 10, sometimes they are 2. The hikes are open to anyone, also for whom has the need to talk about other problems. And even if you don't feel talking or sharing, you are more than welcome.
