Since I started watching everyone's stories, I've finally come to terms with having lost my twins, in 1991. Believe me, sometimes You don't know or realize how much grief is dammed up inside you. Thank you for this channel.

I’ve lost 9 babies, 2 were full term but I have 2 healthy boys out of all the heartache. Thank you for your video. To those who have lost a baby your not alone and my thoughts are with you.❤

Oh my goodness!! That is EXACTLY what my daughter died from 26 years ago. This is the first time I have ever heard of another precious soul passing from the same thing. It was a medical cover-up in my daughter's case, it resulted from a surgery I had to have 12 days before she was born. May the Lord Bless you and keep you 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕

This truly breaks my heart. She is such a beautiful baby girl ❤ I too had chorioamnionitis and placental abruption. I was induced and in labor for 73 hours, water broke for 32 of those. Rushed in for a emergency C-section. I had no idea what was going on because it happend soo fast. My daughter was on antibiotics and in the NICU for 7 days. She had low oxygen, low blood sugar and jaundice. She is now almost 6 years old and although tests have come back negative, we believe she has some sort of hearing problem but nobody wants to listen. I never really understood the true dangers of everything until I took the time to look into it myself about a year after birth when dealing with post-partum depression. My doctors never explained anything. I was shocked! Thank you for speaking out about this and sharing your story. Baby Breklyn will forever stay in my heart ❤

Как же важно дать семье попрощаться и прожить эти дни так, как они хотят. Ваша малышка - настоящий ангел

The gratitude this father expresses is awe-inspiring. In what was probably the worst experience a parent could ever go through, he was grateful for the time they did have and the love he still clearly has for his daughter. I hope he continues to feel that gratitude and love and that he's surrounded by love. Please thank him for sharing Breklyn's story and filling it with so much hope for others. 💜

To all the moms and dads that have lost a child... My heart breaks for each and everyone of you. I was told I could never have kids at the age of 14. At 30, I had a son. Thankfully, he has graduated high school and will be 20 in June. I could not fathom losing my child. I would never say I know how you feel, because I don't. But from a mom to you, my heart will always break for you. God bless you and I pray you find peace. Much love.

They held her in the air and said.... That is one cold human. Every career is not for every person. I am so sorry how your both of your daughters,wife and you were treated at such a sensitive time. May God bless your family. I love how you include your older daughter. You seem to be a great Daddy. Remember any one can father a child but it takes a real man to be called Daddy.... and to be a Daddy does not require a blood bond only a love bond.

Truly heartbreaking 💔. This has to be the worst pain a parent could ever feel! To tell your story and share it with the world is powerful and courageous in more ways than one!

I lost my precious daughter in 1991 at 13 days old. This is a pain that is so undescribable, and I still morn her. As time goes by I have learned to cope with her loss, but I'll never be able to get over it.

Such a difference! When my firstborn son was born in 1969, he was born much too early, and he was whisked out of the delivery room, before I even had a chance to see him. When I got put into my room, the pediatrician came in and explained that he was really tiny, but that they were doing everything they could to keep him alive. I never got to go see him, and the nurses seemed to leave me very much alone. I wasn’t able to sleep at all, and at one point in the middle of the night, I heard footsteps in the hallway that I immediately recognized as my husband’s, so I knew why he was there. The next morning, my OB came in to check on me, and I asked what happens next? He said, “well, he was born alive, so you will have to bury him”. I told my husband to contact the funeral home in our town, and I asked my Mom to find something t bury him in. She found a teeny tiny little white christening suit with a bonnet that she stitched up so that it would fit his head, she told me that she used a baseball as a sizing tool. We got to the funeral home the morning after I was discharged, and I walked up to the casket, which was the first and only time I got to see my Son. My husband and my brother Trento led my to a couch, but I pulled away from them, because this was my only chance to see him. I was very young at the time, and did not have the gumption to ask to see him or hold him at the hospital or the funeral home. The funeral guy put his casket in the passenger seat, with my husband an i in the backseat. When we got to the cemetery, my Dad carried the casket to the top of the hill, where my baby would be laid to rest. Pictures never occurred to any of us. Nowadays it is so different, which I think is healthy, to let the parents and family have time with their child, I wish I would have.

My deepest condolences to you all.. I lost my first child, Kevin to SIDS at 29 days. The day before he would have been a month old. The pain/grief was unimaginable.. I was only 16 at the time. Still a child processing that was horrible.. I can't count how many times I wanted to take my own life after.. especially in the months right after.. I can admit that time does heal, it took 12 years for me to be able to talk about him without crying.. Now I try to celebrate his life.. every year my daughters and I have a mini birthday party for him.. He would have turned 33 this year and his memory is very much alive.. May Breklyn live on through you all forever.. ❤

I lost my oldest son years ago. The best healing for me was talking about him and saying his name, including him as my son and including him as a member of our family. My heart goes out to you. I Love the build a bear idea. I’d love to do that but it’s been over 40 yrs since I lost my son so…….any who who, RIP sweet Breklyn and Blessings to this family.
