Story
It has taken many months to try and process and make sense of this sudden and tragic life changing story as the heart ache and loss has been insurmountable. Today I am no further ahead, but felt it is too important not to tell my story. I am reaching out for 2 reasons, first to share my story of the very unexpected and tragic loss of my 29 year old pregnant daughter, Cara to preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. Second, in the hopes to help create awareness and education on this dangerous and potential deadly illness due to pregnancy and that it may help save the lives of other young expecting mothers to be.
