Monday, October 8, 2018 at 6:12 am, we said hello and goodbye to our beautiful stillborn daughter, Stella.

Unfortunately, Stella died when I was 36 weeks pregnant from an umbilical cord accident. I don’t expect our story to be told, or published, as our story is not a happy one. Stillbirth, dead babies, makes people uncomfortable, even though 2 million babies are stillborn in the worldwide each year. Very little research or discussion is focused on why some babies randomly die. Stella’s birth and death was the most devastating day of our lives.
Our star map, as the name Stella means star, is a beautiful image that shows us she existed. She came into this world, under the stars, she was a person, and she was here. Thank you for letting me tell her story.

Stella’s mom,
Emily Johnson
