Thank you to @5_News for speaking to us about @ForIsaakFilm on the @YorkStJohn campus today
After Richard Jacobs and his wife Rebecca's son Isaak was stillborn, they wanted to channel their emotion into support for others. They've made a short animated film about their experience. Warning: The report from @CathJacobNews makes references to stillbirth and baby loss.

In September last year, our son Rayan was stillborn. It was devastating, but was made worse by the silence around stillbirth, especially for men. With that in mind, I wrote something for @guardian about what happened, and how we survived. Please read + share if you can
