The couple were expecting their third child before losing her to the cruel hand of death.

He wrote,

So The last 3 Weeks have been Hard for my Family and I. Pain & Tears perfectly tucked behind the smiles and fake laughters. I was out of the country when my pregnant Wife Denise called and told me that she’s headed to the hospital and it was an emergency. I won’t lie my heart sunk because I somewhat knew what that meant.

I remember kneeling down and Crying to God to keep Her safely wrapped in His Warm Embrace. The worst news came in that the doctor couldn’t feel the baby’s Heartbeat. We’d lost the baby, at 6 Months 😢 So Close…So So Close.

DJ Creme revealed that he couldn't forgive himself.

I Won’t Lie, It tore me to pieces because I couldn’t forgive myself for being miles away and yet my wife was going through this alone.

4. Michelle Obama

In her book Becoming former America’s first black first lady Michelle Obama talks about politics, then goes digging deep into some personal issues.

From a miscarriage to using in-vitro fertilization to conceive her daughters to marriage counselling.

In a past interview with ABC News Obama said he did not know how common miscarriages were until his wife suffered the same.

I felt lost and alone, and I felt like I failed. I didn’t know how common miscarriages were because we don’t talk about them. We sit in our own pain, thinking that somehow we’re broken.

In the book Michele writes that fertility treatments allowed her to conceive daughters Malia, now 20, and Sasha, 17.

It turns out that even two committed go-getters with a deep love and robust work ethic can’t will themselves into being pregnant. We had to do IVF,” she told ABC, in excerpts of an interview. 

Michelle admits the couple on occasions turned to counselling, where they “learned how to talk out” problems.

5. Akothee

Akothee collapsed at a train station in Geneva, Switzerland in 2016 and was rushed to a nearby hospital.

She underwent a successful surgery but unfortunately, none of her unborn babies survived.
