There are people you meet who quietly change the way you see strength.
Funke Oham is one of them.
After losing her baby, she found the courage to turn heartbreak into hope. She created a support group for parents going through the same pain and, in doing so, built a lifeline for others when she could so easily have withdrawn into her own grief.
Her compassion and determination earned her a BBC Make a Difference Award, and her story lives on in her deeply moving book Believe: A Mother’s Memoir of Loss, Hope and Trusting Again.
Funke joined me on BBC Radio London during Baby Loss Awareness Week to talk about her journey — one built on faith, love and the quiet kind of strength that changes lives.
Because strength doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it whispers through the people who keep going, and help others do the same.
