Following an "incredibly challenging" 37-hour labor, Michael Armstrong's wife, Emma gave birth. The pair had chosen to wait until birth to find out the gender of their child.

Michael Armstrong expanded,

"It was a sweet surprise amongst the grief to meet our precious, beautiful little baby boy. There was no sign of what went wrong. His ultrasound, body and placenta all looked good. As we’ve learned, sometimes this just happens, and 1/3 of the time no cause is ever discovered. I’ve been balancing the divine purpose of it all and the truth of deep grief. I know our souls wouldn’t have chosen this experience if there wasn’t a greater purpose, but the devastation is real."

Michael Armstrong has been devoting all his time to his wife while his friends are supporting them by giving them food, he said in his caption. He mentioned that his friends have been a great source of light in a time of darkness. Michael Armstrong added that his wife is "navigating an unimaginable postpartum journey with such strength."

However, despite losing their son, the pair still sees him as a “precious guardian angel.” Michael Armstrong, who paired the lengthy caption with a photo of his baby's hand, lauded his wife for her strength:

“She carried our son with such grace and love, singing to him each night and morning in bed. She brought him into the world with fierce devotion having a natural birth the way she wanted. She’s been traveling through this heartbreak and physical pain with unwavering courage. She feels it all fully. I am inspired by her.”

He also shared that they are now “taking it day by day, moment by moment, and letting love lead us through.”

Michael Armstrong and his wife tied the knot back in April 2024. Less than a year later, they revealed that they were expecting. In a post in January 2025, where she could be seen standing in front of an island while her husband showered her belly with kisses, Emma shared:

“There’s a miracle growing inside of my womb."

Emma continued to share updates about her pregnancy throughout its entirety, having celebrated her first wedding anniversary just recently. She also shared videos of herself singing to her baby bump in her third trimester. Following her son's demise, she took to social media to voice her grief:

“I must of spent hours every day just imagining all the things I would do with my baby and the mother I would get to be. It’s all we talked about all year. We were preparing for the happiest day [of] our life and instead we got our worst. The terror and shock still courses through my body. This is not a share about some silver lining or Gods plan though I have felt the divinity and love like a breath for air that desperately gasp for while I drown. This is me sharing my shock.”

She continued,

“For any human that has felt the ground ripped from underneath them. For any mother that has lost her baby. The shock, denial, confusion, longing, love and unbearable heartbreak of a loss like this all gets a seat at the table.”
