Recently I was contacted by ABC Radio as they were covering the topic of Stillbirth and discussing this with Professor Vicki Flenady from the new Stillbirth Centre for Research Excellence at the University of Queensland. I was asked to take part and talk from first hand experience about aspects of Claudia’s life and death.
Till has been involved in stillbirth support since her daughter’s death in 2014.
Since that event, Till became President of Sands Western Australia (miscarriage, stillbirth & newborn death support), and is a writer and Advocate for Still Aware (Stillbirth Prevention Awareness) all whilst running her own website, Blue Sky & Lullaby (thestilllifeproject.org) She currently works with Red Nose Australia in Bereavement support.
As an Artist, she was commissioned by the State governments of Vic and ACT to provide the artwork for their Commemorative Certificates, available through Births, Deaths and Marriages in those sates.
Till's writing has been featured by Mamamia, The Antenatal and Postnatal Psychology Network, The Daily Mail, Scary Mommy and the Australian Broadcasting Association(ABC) mainly focusing on her work on subject of bereavement.
Till is also a contributor to Emily Longs book, ‘From Mother to Mother: On the loss of a Child’ published in 2018.
