Supporting Chris & Bethany in Their Grief

On Tuesday, November 27, 2018 Christopher and Bethany Campbell found out that their daughter, Rose Sahalie Campbell, died in the womb; she was due in January. After surgery it was confirmed that her umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck and knotted. Rosie had all ten fingers and ten toes with beautiful long black hair and long eyelashes. She was already tall, beautiful, and very feminine. She was a dancer like her mommy, and had the dark hair of her daddy.

Christopher and Bethany got to stay with Rosie Tuesday and Wednesday as the hospital wrapped her in a beautiful pink blanket and placed a hat with a bow on her sweet head. Rosie was treated lovingly by the hospital staff as Chris and Bethany mourned the death of their daughter.

Words from Chris:
We are truly living one of our greatest nightmares. We appreciate the outpouring love and the prayers. There are no words to express the amount of heartbreak we are going through. But we know who holds tomorrow.

Words from Bethany:
I hadn’t felt much movement other than some shifting starting Sunday, and I had a feeling something was wrong. I tried not to worry too much cause I was 31 weeks along and just told myself she was probably running out of room. But when I didn’t even feel her hiccup into the next day I was getting more concerned, I held on to those little shifts in my belly, like they were the best thing I could ever feel. [Tuesday] morning I saw a doctor and she couldn’t find a heartbeat so she did an ultrasound, however in my gut.. I knew she was gone. The ultrasound confirmed my biggest nightmare. Rosie was born [Tuesday] via c-section. She had been moving and dancing so much she got her sweet little self caught in the cord and it wrapped around her neck.  Our life has been shattered along with Chris and mines hearts.

She is perfect. She is so beautiful.

I didn’t miscarry or lose a pregnancy. I lost my child. We lost our child. I am angry that Twila and Payton will never get to hold their baby sister. I’m sad. I’m in denial... just waiting to be woken up from this nightmare. Begging God to just let this be not reality.

We are keeping our faith in the Lord. We know He knows our pain and is weeping with us. I find comfort knowing she is wrapped in His arms now, and one day we will all be together. I'm hoping through our suffering and grieving we can be a light to other parents who have lost a child. I'm praying something positive will come through this horrible tragedy. Without our faith and hope, without Him, we have nothing.
