Sonya Harlow, a 39-year-old admissions director in the healthcare industry, had always dreamed of having a daughter and watching her grow alongside her other children and stepchildren. Unfortunately, Sonya’s pregnancy was complicated and she had to discontinue work due to high blood pressure. Her husband, Spencer, supported the family while Sonya stayed at home during her pregnancy.
Despite the challenges, Sonya gave birth to a baby girl named Eliyanah, which means “God has answered” in Hebrew. Eliyanah’s arrival was a dream come true for Sonya, who had previously only had sons. However, their happiness was short-lived as tragedy struck just 11 days after Eliyanah’s birth.
In the middle of the night, Spencer woke up to find his wife in distress while their newborn was lying on her chest. Sonya passed away unexpectedly, leaving her family heartbroken. The loss of Sonya was especially devastating for Spencer and her children, who had prayed for a healthy and happy life for their new baby girl.
