TW: maternal death.

Yesterday one of my our mom friends best friends Katie Sonnenberg passed away tragically 8 days after giving birth to her second child.

Our hearts and thoughts are with her husband and two children. This is a tragedy beyond comprehension.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/supporting-the-sonnenbergs

On Tuesday, 8th October, Katie & Tyler Sonnenberg welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Georgia Katherine, to the world. Georgia completed their family of four and is the new baby sister to her elder brother, Henry and their beloved dog Hunter.

Unfortunately, the joyous emotions were short lived when, after suffering from some severe headaches, Katie was admitted to the hospital three days later on Friday, 11th October with what emerged to be a brain bleed and associated swelling. After some initial scans, the decision was made to airlift her to Hamilton General Hospital where urgent brain surgery was performed to try to keep our beautiful girl exactly where she was supposed to be.

Tragically, despite the best efforts of the neurology team, the surgery performed could not save Katie and we lost her on Wednesday, 16th October, just over a week after the birth of her precious second child. Doctors believe that postpartum cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome was the reason for Katie’s tragic passing.

Tyler, Henry and Georgia are going to need to navigate this world without their beloved wife and mother. We want to provide as much support as we can for Tyler to be able to focus on Katie’s utmost priority, loving her two babies.

During her wonderful but short life, Katie has repeatedly shown up for so many of us as a friend, cheerleader, colleague and caregiver in times of need. Now that Katie’s family needs our help, we all want to be there for her however we can.

Financial support will go towards night nurses, childcare, formula, transportation and immediate expenses that will support Tyler in giving Henry and Georgia the care they need. Any donations beyond the most critical costs will go towards Henry and Georgia’s future educational savings

On Tuesday, 8th October, Katie & Tyler Sonnenberg welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Georgia Ka… Meagan Needles needs your support for Supporting the Sonnenbergs

Performance back panel not only provides back support, but keeps keeps the waist from doing that annoying slip-down thing, even with a phone in the pocket. (Damn right, it’s got pockets.)
