My daughter, Carlee and her husband Dan, lost their baby girl; Cora June. It was a rough pregnancy, but we were all hopeful. We marveled at every image and video of her as she grew. She made it to 24 weeks, which gave Cora a fighting chance, but she was too ill to survive. We are all shattered.

Through this tragedy, we would love to finally send them off on a healing honeymoon, as they were unable to take one after they married in October. In addition, to help support their family, the cremation, and any costs associated.

Grieving a lost infant is such a strange experience, with no social norms. Not a single one of us makes it through without wishing they got a do-over. Grace. Gratefulness. Compassion. That’s all any of us can do.

Hoping this will start the healing process, and give this young family a warm collective hug to help them get through this tragic loss. 

Thank you so very much,

Pattie, one of the grieving grand parents.
