Found tonight's episode very moving but was also struck by the final music. As usual, I couldn't place it.

Can anyone help please?

It has been a harrowing story. Sorry can't help re the music. Great acting though.

The acting was brilliant.

I think it was Coldplay 'Back to the start'

Thank you nanaK54.

Made me realise what my DS and DiL went through as their circumstances were very similar.

Crumbs, dragonfly, wasn't it well done though?

A few tears from me - and I rarely cry. I was struck by the huge difference, now, to losing a child (twins, in my case) back in the 1980s. They were uncaring, hostile, brutal even, back then, which made it all far worse.

My experience too Hetty58. I am glad times have changed but why were people so uncaring all those years ago.

That's awful Hetty58. The 1980s don't seem that far back somehow. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

I lost my baby son in October 1973, never bringing him home from hospital. Staff were kind but didn’t really know how to deal with us, I remember seeing a nurse duck out of sight because she felt they had failed when all I wanted to do was thank her for her kindness.
I wish somebody had suggested “imagining” his life - I was never able to see beyond the incubator. So, like I imagine, many many viewers/mums/dads/grandparents I too had a little sob last night

Me too. I had a missed abortion at 22 weeks and was treated very much as though nothing untoward had happened. I was severely traumatised.
