Pala Negara shares heartbreak over Harmony Hunter
The former reality star described profound grief while paying tribute to the child she had carried for nearly ten months.
Reflecting on the loss, Pala wrote: “Creating life with the love of my life has been the most profound healing journey I could have never imagined being written into our journey. Growing life for nearly ten months, growing our family, falling so deeply in love in a union that was always destined to be, falling in love with the life we have created for our family, birthing life, and then birthing death has been incomprehensible.”
She continued: “My body feels broken and aches for our baby, the life we grew together. I don’t think we will ever know how to move through this heartbreak.”
Pala also revealed that Lismore Hospital treated her for a postpartum haemorrhage after Harmony’s birth.
She thanked Lismore Hospital, saying its staff worked tirelessly to save Harmony and treat her.
Her message also recognised the NeoRESQ team, which flew in and spent hours trying to save Harmony.
Gold Coast University Hospital then supported the family during three nights and four days of Comfort Care.
She thanked friends and the wider community for caring for them during the following week.
Pala said the family would lay Harmony to rest on Bundjalung Country, where he was born. She ended the tribute by saying she could feel her son surrounding them.
