Trigger Warning: Infant loss.
Thirteen years ago, I gave birth to my first daughter, Kaelyn. We lost her just one day later to Group B Streptococcus (GBS).
I’m sharing this here because life and work don’t exist separately. Behind every person is a story. Some joyful, some heartbreaking.
If sharing Kaelyn’s story raises awareness and helps another family, then her life continues to matter.
Prenatal and late onset GBS still have no official prevention protocols. Please learn the risks. Have the conversations. Awareness saves lives. Please reach out with any questions.
Her life taught me to live with intention, to be gentle with others, and to remember that everyone is carrying something you cannot see.
Hold your loved ones a little closer.
🤍Rest peacefully, my sweet girl.
