December 1st was the hardest day of my life. We found out our little girl no longer had a heartbeat. Donna Kathryn “Poppy” Funderburk was born on December 2nd @ 6:59pm. She weighed 1.1lbs and was 11.5 in. My husband and I are proud parents of an angel baby girl. She was a fighter

#BabyLossAwarenessWeek#BLAW
Stillbirth is STILL happening. It's time to break the silence. This tragedy happens to over 21,000 U.S. families every year. That’s equivalent of losing a school bus load of children every day. Join me in raising awareness. 💔

@jaubin1969@eleanor_mueller Thank you vcr r❤️ 14 is already such a hard age; I can’t even imagine the hardship you went through. I’m so sorry for all of your losses. I believe everything happens for a reason, but that doesn’t make it easier. May God bless you and keep you.
@jaubin1969@eleanor_mueller FMLA isn’t necessarily “paid”. The bill proposes for the time to be paid. While I was able to use FMLA with my accrued leave (so it was paid) to take care of my dying mother, once my leave ran out I had to start taking leave without pay.
@USATODAY It’s been 8 months and I’m still mourning. At least it’s a start, but 3 days isn’t enough. I’m thankful I’m a state employee and was able to use 2 of the 3 allowed days of bereavement leave for my hospital stay. Also, I hope the other parent is included.
NEW: Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin has issued a state of emergency amid rising COVID-19 numbers. A mask mandate is expected to follow.
Here's what we know so far:

It’s “Good” Friday. We’re supposed to be dying eggs and excited to see how Poppy looks in her “Easter Sunday” dress. Instead I’m reminded that she’s supposed to be 4 mo today. I hope you’re celebrating in Heaven with Jesus this weekend, little one. Selfishly, I want you with me💔
@mikkohusari @aladdin321@colinmochrie From the @Google : “CBS and Warner Bros. partnered to create a new network called The CW which they launched in September of 2006. The “C” stands for CBS and the “W” stands for Warner Bros.”
I received a sample of Similac baby formula in the mail today. I don’t even know how to cancel it so I don’t receive anymore. It reminds me of when I use to save the daily WhatToExpect emails. Now I’m saving the daily grief emails. I miss my baby. Life shouldn’t be this hard.
