This is not an episode I ever imagined recording, but it’s one I need to share. On January 29, 2025, my grandson, Oliver, was born sleeping at 32 weeks. 💔There are no words for this kind of loss... only waves of grief, moments of love, and a deep desire to make sure his name is never forgotten.In this episode, I share Ollie’s story, the pain of watching my daughter lose her child, and what I’ve learned about grief; especially what grieving parents need most from the people around them. If you’ve ever wondered what to say (or not say) to someone who has lost a child, I hope this helps.If you or someone you love is going through a similar loss, you’re not alone. Here are some resources that may help:💙 The Compassionate Friends – Support for families after the loss of a child (www.compassionatefriends.org)💙 Postpartum Support International (PSI) – Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support (www.postpartum.net)💙 The TEARS Foundation – Financial and emotional support for families who have lost a baby (www.thetearsfoundation.org)💙 SHARE Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support – Support groups, resources, and community for grieving families (www.nationalshare.org)Oliver was here.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
