Book description
In 2004, Jessica Palmer died suddenly of septicaemia, just six days
after giving birth to her second child. Distraught, her husband Ben
struggled to comprehend his loss and to care for their two young
children. It later came to light that Jessica's condition can usually
be easily detected and prevented but in this case nothing was done
until it was too late. Ben and his family successfully sued the NHS
for negligence in 2007.
This is Ben's heartbreaking story of dealing with his grief while
raising two small children as a single parent. As he tries to accept
the idea of life without his beloved wife, he battles shock, grief,
despair and guilt, before finally finding hope in the future, thanks
to the love and support of his friends and family. It is a devastating
story of living with a cruel and needless loss.
Ben Palmer runs an information technology business from home,
where he lives with his six-year-old son Harry and three-year-old
daughter Emily. This is his first book.
