A custom painting in memory of Koah Emmanuel Yates, May 27, 2023. We have been working with his Mother, Aubrey for 6 weeks and can finally share this story. 🤍
The name of this painting comes from hearing the news, "There is no heartbeat" some of the most devastating news any parent can hear. We believe, if you listen carefully... you will hear and feel the source of every heartbeat and discover, there is no end with Christ.🤍✝️
Â
Thank you Aubrey, for working with us to create this piece. It is not easy to peel back the layers to share the deepest parts of you, thank you for your vulnerability 🤍 🤗

From Koah's Mother:
"Koah Emmanuel Yates was stillborn on May 27th 2023. I had had a 2 vessel umbilical cord instead of the usual 3. My midwife thought it would be best if I went in for weekly ultrasounds the last 10 weeks of pregnancy to make sure blood flow looked good. Every week everything was perfect.
Â
He was always wiggling around and there were no signs of anything being wrong. I was so happy to be able to see him moving around every week. I now cherish those memories and see them as a great blessing given to me by God because He knew what was ultimately going to happen.
Â
Koah was always very active! My husband found out if he put his ear to my belly, he could hear Koah's heartbeat. I woke up on Koah's due date and began my day as normal caring for my daughters. Then after about an hour I noticed I hadn't felt him move. I thought it was odd but tried to get him to move around and thought I felt a few flutters. I proceeded with the day.
Â
By mid day I felt uneasy and I decided I needed to go in to get checked on. I was told to go to the hospital for monitoring. They thought they found a separate heartbeat from mine and said it was really low and proceeded to prep me for a possible emergency c section but then the ultrasound technician came in to check and I heard the most devastating words I had ever heard.
Â
"There is no heartbeat"
Koah was born the next day, which is when we discovered the true knot in the umbilical cord that had caused him to pass. We love our Koah and miss him so much.
Â
We are so grateful to know that we will be able to see him again one day. We had his little body turned into soil by Natural Organic Reduction and have used some of it to plant a lovely houseplant that we keep in our home. I am so grateful for this beautiful picture to help us imagine how he would look around the age of 2."
