Skye’s life lasted only three hours, yet her parents appreciated her beauty and her presence in their lives.
Following her d3ath, the couple received assistance from a special midwife and were granted entrance to the “Daisy Room.” This chamber allows parents to spend time with their baby before and after their d3ath, bringing comfort during this sad time.
Nobody mentioned the girl after she went. Millie was angry because she assumed her kid had been utterly forgotten.
The bereaved mother recalls how the staff were initially aware of Skye’s plight, but everyone ultimately stopped talking about it.
Millie had just given birth to a baby called Callie, who was still in the NICU. While Millie was speaking with another mother who had recently given birth to twins, this mother unknowingly expressed how fortunate Millie was not to have twins, completely oblivious to Millie’s anguish and loss.
The other parents were not aware of Skye’s position. The innocent statement was made in jest. They were unaware that I had already had two children. Millie was extremely moved by the comment, running out of the room in tears. The parents were perplexed as to why she reacted in that manner. Millie could not bring herself to convey the issue to them. A simple sticker may have eliminated the misunderstanding.
Millie devised a means to indicate that one or more infants were lost in a group of multiples by placing a sticker on the incubator.
She added that she chose butterflies to represent the infants who passed away and that the color purple is appropriate for both boys and girls.
The Skye High Foundation, which grew from her original efforts, now supports the purple butterfly campaign. It has successfully brought this approach to a number of hospitals across many countries.
The purple butterfly collection includes a variety of gifts and accessories.
Millie stated that, while she cannot completely prevent this occurrence, organizing extra support groups and applying measures such as stickers will significantly help the issue. She agreed that the situation is extremely difficult for anyone to face.
Callie, her second daughter, is seven years old.
