A grieving mother has shared her devastation over the loss of her child who was stillborn by posting images of her daughter kissing her sibling.
Sarah Jane Young, a popular Melbourne blogger, lost her daughter Charlotte Rose Young on Tuesday after she was stillborn at 21 weeks.
Taking to Instagram to share her grief, Sarah Jane posted two images of her daughter, including one of her elder daughter Mia Grace kissing the infant cradled in her mother’s arms while sitting in a hospital bed with her husband, Richard.
“While your little life was way too brief, in that very short time YOU have proven to me that a mother’s heart is NEVER, ever full,” she wrote next to a photo of her daughter’s feet on Thursday.
“Our hearts are beyond broken and there will never be day that goes by where we don’t think about you – our sweet baby girl.”

There are just no words, the pain is like no other... I lost my baby boy a week ago today, the 6th January 2017 at 21 was born sleeping with wings. It's brilliant Sarahjane had the strength and thought it appropriate for her daughter to meet her sister... we opted to not introduce our baby boy to our 2yr old daughter, just have left it to what we feel is suitable for our family.... as with everything "Each to their own". I also commend Sarahjane for using her platform to raise awareness on this sad and tragic event, so that other realise how often it does occur.... we all need to walk more about these awful things that occur and not feel isolated by them... take care and know you're never alone xxx
I have always wondered how the siblings cope. I must ask my brother if he remembers losing our brother.
Heartbreaking. R.I.P. little angel. Xxx
