Sarah Jane Young lost her daughter in January.
Charlotte Rose was born sleeping on what her mum describes as "the worst day of her life"
After experiencing such grief and pain - Sarah Jane decided she wanted to do something to honour her little girl while also paying tribute to all the other little babies who left the world too soon. First, she decided to create a very honest and moving blog about her journey:
"The pain of losing a child is indescribable and something no parent should ever have to endure. As we embark on this long journey of healing back to our happy place as a family, we find ourselves adjusting to a ‘new normal’ and one with a totally different perspective. We have accepted we will never have any answers and that unfortunately, life just chose us. Life chose our baby.
On January 10th part of me died with Charlotte Rose, but I am determined not to let this loss shadow her tiny and beautiful existence. I promised her our home would forever be filled with roses, I promised to acknowledge her arrival into this world and honour her memory until the day we meet again."
Then, Sarah Jane collaborated with a lipstick brand to create a shade of pink which was named Charlotte Rose and all the profits will go towards a charity called Bears of Hope which supports families who experience the loss of their baby.
Sarah Jane said she wanted to do something special to channel her grief into something more positive and they hope to raise at least $20,000.
"This lipstick is in memory of so many little angels, all who grew their tiny wings far too soon."
She posted an image of the lipstick to Instagram with the caption:
"Thank you to everyone who has been a part of MY STORY and Charlotte's legacy. ALL profits will go to @bearsofhope we are hoping to raise 20K.
