“The pain you go through you carry with you forever. Once you’ve lost a child that’s part of you, you never ever lose that pain. You just learn to put a brave face on it.”
Soul was just 10 weeks old when he died. Since his death, Louise, 37, has given up smoking and transformed her life.
“People don’t listen until it happens to them and then they make the changes,” she said.
