Empty Arms Syndrome is a phenomenon most often associated with stillbirth. However, as Corchele's story illustrates, feeling an ache to hold your baby is a very real feeling even if you deliver a breathing child.

Ten hours after delivering Breklyn by emergency cesarian, Corchele and her husband were faced with a loss no parent should ever experience. And, the fact that it was completely preventable only added to their heartache.

Corchele, and her former husband, turned their heartache into purpose after a chance gift helped transform Corchele's empty arms of suffering into arms of action and purpose.

Whether you have experienced infant/child loss yourself or not, I hope you listen to Corchele's transformational story of heartache to meaning and how her family continued to honor Breklyn in their lives.

I don't believe we ever fully understand the impact our presence has in others' lives, but as Breklyn's life shows, even a brief presence in the physical plane can create ripples.
