How Sharing Photos of Her Stillborn Baby Brought the Closure This Heartbroken Teenage Mum Needed

17-year-old, Zariah Jackson was heartbroken when her precious son, Jeremiah Kai Hillman was stillborn.

Zariah was prepared to welcome her baby boy into the world. Sadly, her world took a huge twist when she found out she wouldn’t be bringing her baby home, Mirror UK gathered.

Two days before her due date, Zariah started having serious back pains. So bad she thought she’d gone into labor with her first born baby boy who she carried for 9 healthy months.

Shortly after checking into the hospital, and getting situated in her room, doctors & nurses ran tests on her and her unborn baby.

After noticing her baby didn’t have a heartbeat, doctors took Zariah into an emergency delivery, where she’d soon be giving birth to a deceased baby boy.

After being in the hospital for 2 days, she was sent home with all of her baby’s things, but not her baby. She had to come to terms with saying goodbye.

Feeling like she was completely alone, she decided to share photos of him on social media. She shared a number of photos of her in the hospital after he was born on March 14, and several pictures of her with friends and family at his funeral.

Zariah, who lives in Florida, decided to go live and speak out to fans about her situation, it got rough at times, and very emotional.

Zariah was trolled for posting photos of her deceased baby on the internet, including one where he was laid in a small coffin. She responded, saying:

“My baby had every right to be shown off by his mother just like a baby who is alive. I shared my story not for all the miserable negative a** folk to get on my s*** but to simply show y’all how God will give you something in life that’s gonna make you or break you.

God gave me a battle many couldn’t fight and that was losing what I love most. Now the lesson I learned was to appreciate what you have while you have it because you never know when it’s going to be taken.”

Despite the abuse she received, Zariah is still glad she posted the photos.

“It brought on a lot of negativity but it helped me knowing I wasn’t the only mother with no baby.”
