The three-month-old son of YouTuber Brittani Boren Leach sadly passed away in his sleep during a nap on Christmas Day. Her son, Crew, was an otherwise healthy newborn baby before she tragically discovered that he was unresponsive.
A self-proclaimed beauty and lifestyle blogger, Leach's YouTube channel is centered around days in the life of being a mom, as well as performing tasks like hosting holiday parties and home organization. Sadly, her recent social media posts have centered around tragedy after revealing to her followers on Instagram that her son, Crew, had passed away on Christmas. In a series of posts (via People), Leach honored her son, opened up about her grief, and detailed the necessary steps that she and her husband must take to make Crew eligible for organ donations. The cause of death has yet to be determined or revealed.
In one post, Leach opened up about her denial surrounding her son's death, writing, "“I keep thinking that I will wake up from this nightmare, but I don’t." In that same post, Leach wrote about how Crew is "dancing and playing in Heaven," but admitted that she is "mad" at God, asking her followers for prayers during this difficult time.
In the midst of her grief, Leach still managed to focus on positivity, referring to the fact that her son's organ donations can potentially save the lives of "3 to 4 babies." Incidentally, she also opened up about how difficult it is to not only grieve the loss of her son, but to be in a position where she has to prepare him - and make sure that he is eligible - for the operation. In an Instagram Story, she posted a picture of her holding one of Crew's hands, writing that "the process of organ donation is not always quick," then adding, "While today could be the hardest day of our lives, somewhere in the US, a parent will be getting the best news of theirs." In another Story, she wrote that members of the hospital staff would be paying respects to Crew by lining the hospital walls during his "Honor Walk."
There are no words to describe the pain that any parents must feel after the death of a child. In a tragic moment like this, if there had to be one positive takeaway, it's the support Leach and her family are receiving. A GoFundMe page has already raised over $100,000 for the family, and friends, family members, and followers have supported Leach with various donations.
