“We found out we were pregnant unexpectedly and were so excited. My pregnancy was riddled with complications, leading to the birth of our son at 28 weeks. Hudson spent 6 weeks in the NICU and died very unexpectedly. This loss was completely devastating to us, and has changed our lives completely.

Hudson’s short life has changed us in many ways. I’m a better wife, mother and friend because of him.

We have found several ways to honor Hudson in our everyday lives. Not only do we have pictures of him in our home, but we talk about him daily with our living son. We love celebrating his birthday every year and try to find other small ways to remember him throughout the year.

RTZ has allowed me an outlet for grief by not only serving as a board member but also working with the organization on various tasks and projects throughout the year. I have also participated in support groups, which have given me a beautiful way to remember Hudson while seeing that I am truly never alone.”
