We’ve been profiling some of the Queen’s Birthday Honours recipients… there’s dozens of them, each with their own powerful story. Today we are getting to know a woman whose Honour will be bittersweet. We're talking to Sonya Rockhouse - who faces the painful reminder of what she lost in Pike River - her 21-year-old son, Ben - every time she speaks out for justice. But she’s continued to be a driving force in campaigning for better workplace health and safety since the 2010 explosion. Sonya, alongside Anna Osborne - who lost her husband in the blast - have been named Officers of the Order of Merit.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
