Patriots' Devin McCourty and Wife Michelle Reveal They Lost Baby Daughter in Heartbreaking Instagram Post

At this point, we're just convinced that the year 2020 is cursed.

It continued living up to its merciless bearer of bad news billing on Saturday when New England Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty tragically took to Instagram to reveal that he and his wife, Michelle, lost their daughter, who was to be named Mia, due to a stillbirth.

Michelle needed a string of posts to articulate the sheer agony she's feeling in the wake of this gut-wrenching tragedy, which Devin shared with a painful message of his own.

I’ve seen and felt God in so many ways in this last week. 1st was holding my 3rd child Mia and telling her I love her and then telling her see you later...all in one day. 2nd has been leading such a strong and powerful woman @dr_yimac32...her strength has brought me to tears but also inspired me to be what God has called me to be. 3rd Gods love on earth has been shown to us by unbelievers friends and family who have checked on us daily, and hourly. Thank you everyone for your love and prayers -Dmac

We can't even put into words what the McCourty family must be going through. To think that the couple came as close as they did to enjoying the blessing that is parenthood is absolutely heartbreaking.

"We held our baby, wrapped in a blanket, cute as ever, looking just like our son Brayden when he was born, but she had no breaths," Michelle wrote. "No cries. No movement. Doctors say they have no answers for why this happens. It just sadly does."

Devin McCourty shares some tragic news.

Thoughts go out to him and his family. Hug your children tight today. https://t.co/WpE7tzlf3B

What makes this tragedy all the more saddening is the fact that the McCourty's said the baby checked out perfectly healthy at their appointment the previous week.

This is unspeakably awful news, and we send our wholehearted condolences to Michelle, Devin, and the McCourty family as they attempt to reckon with Mia's tragic passing.
