Tragic Postpartum Loss of Newborn’s Mother

It is with the heaviest heart one can possibly fathom that I come to my friends and family with such devastating news. The joy and aspiration for the future that lied ahead on the happiest day of my life was seemingly ripped out of my arms within 36 hours after the birth of our beautiful baby boy. There are no words for this or even manuals on how to handle what we are experiencing. I lost my beautiful, loving and amazing girlfriend and the mother of my newborn due to an unpredictable and unforeseen arterial tear before we were even discharged from the hospital and home as the family we were so excited to finally be. I want to personally say thank you to everyone who has reached out to us with their condolences, and extended their arms offering to help in any way they can. Truly thankful for all of our amazing friends and family that are here to lean on during such a traumatic time. The outpouring of love, support and prayers going up for both of our families has been overwhelming. As many of you know, I have invested everything I have into my career these past four years and have truly enjoyed my time and experience traveling around welding on the pipeline. It’s been a short, yet amazing run. However due to the circumstances, I have put my career to an indefinite hault for now. I’ve instantaneously gone from the one who sacrifices witnessing all the firsts to be a provider to being the only living parent left to witness those firsts and I intend to do just that, for as long as financially possible. It’s my job to be the main influence on his upbringing now, as that will play a huge role in the man he will one day become. As of right now I do not want to sell any of my tools or equipment as I hope to one day be able to share my passion and trade with little Timber, if that’s what he ends up wanting. So many of you have already helped in so many ways and I am eternally grateful for it. As much as it pains me going from a hard-working member of society who’s never held his hand out for anything a day in his life, to being an unemployed single father knowing that not only will I need help, but Timber deserves for me to ask for it for the two of us, here I am. I’ve never been a fan of this kind of platform or reaching out for help period....but if there ever was a time and place for it, I guess there’s not much that would be considered a better circumstance then the one we are in now. Honestly, even $1 is ultimately going to help. God bless each and every one of you continually sending prayers up for our family, as well as everyone who have selflessly helped us make it this far with their support. I know this organization/platform charges credit card fees, etc. for donations. I just had a hard time feeling like me reaching out with my PayPal, cashapp or Venmo info was even acceptable. But if anyone would prefer to contribute through any of those venues, please find me on Facebook under Sean Songer, send me a private message or friend request or both, and I’ll do my best to help facilitate that so no fees are incurred on your end. Also can be found on Instagram under the same name or @nativpipeliner_23 is my username. Thank you and God bless each and every one of you.
