Review of Perinatal Hospice: A Parents Story


Miles Eddy gives us an unflinching view into an emotionally complex topic: perinatal hospice, showing one woman's difficult choice surrounding her unborn childs fatal congenital heart defect.

The piece is longer than some features at 7:00 plus minutes, but the adroit pacing, carefully chosen narration, and well-chosen actualities keep the listener engaged.

Any local discussion on hospice, medical ethics, or end of life issues might find this selection great to air. It's a heartbreaker for sure, but certainly illustrates courageous decisions made under trying circumstances. Two Thumbs Up.
