Grief is a difficult thing to navigate. Everyone grieves differently, and people respond to tragedy in different ways.
For Nicura Thompson, the only way to swim through the grief of losing her six-week-old son was to give back what she wasn’t able to give to him.

The Utah mom gave birth to her fourth son, Colton, on October 21, 2016. The fiery red-haired boy was born with seven heart defects, and tragically passed away in Nicura’s arms just weeks after being born.

“There are no words to explain holding your child as they struggle to breathe and they take their last breath,” Nicura told TODAY. “There’s no greater pain.”
Though she knew Colton had heart problems, his tragic passing still came as a complete shock.
