Grieving Mom Wants to Donate Breast Milk to Cousin After Tragic Loss

Imagine losing your precious baby and still wanting to help others in need. A grieving mother, who recently lost her 9-week-old daughter to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), faces a heart-wrenching dilemma. Her cousin, who is due any day now, had a double mastectomy to combat cancer and won’t be able to nurse her baby. With a formula shortage, the mother wonders if offering her own breast milk would be a kind gesture or an insensitive reminder of her loss.
