"Riaan means little king". Our son who never stopped smiling with Raj Chagger.

Welcome back to The Grief Gang podcast with me, your host, Amber Jeffrey.This week I was joined by Raj Chagger to remember his son Riaan who passed away November last year at only 7 months. In this episode, Raj will take you back to that dreadful night where his and his wife Sharan's journey began. I loved listening to Raj tell me about Riaan. Although his time here was short, he made a huge impact on people. When the days got tough, Raj says how Riaan would give both him and Sharan a look to say "I'm ok" alongside a gorgeous little smile, giving them the strength to carry on.Raj and Sharan are both doing tremendous work in name of their son, giving back to the services and support systems that helped them in their darkest hour. I am in awe of both of you!For Riaan, the little king. Find Raj and Sharan over on instagram @riaan_remembersBig love,Amber xxxIG- @thegriefgangTwitter- @gang_griefFacebook- The Grief GangIf you like what you hear, please leave a rating and review, it really means a lot.
