Instagram influencer Ashley Stock’s daughter has died only days after celebrating her third birthday.
It was in April when 3-year-old Stevie Lynn Stock was diagnosed with rare brain cancer, which has a zero percent survival rate.
Ashley, 35, took her Stevie to the hospital after noticing her daughter’s “rapidly declining motor function.”
The doctor found a large tumor on Stevie’s brain and she was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, a very rare form of cancer that has a 0 percent survival rate.
“We are shattered. Broken. Gutted. Somehow my body continues to produce tears and ugly crying has become my only release,” Ashley wrote on April 14.
The mother-of-three shared the heartbreaking news on social media and revealed that her 3-year-old daughter took her last breath.
“Stevie Lynn Stock. 3 years old. Seed Planter. Miracle Maker. Light Giver. Heart Healer. Blue eyed, dimpled smile, curly haired forever baby girl. Adored little sister, daughter and friend,” Ashley wrote.
“At 1:05pm on May 27th, Stevie took her final breath in our arms. There have been many miracles and countless God moments that I’ll put into words when my heart has strength.”
She continued: “For now, I’m overwhelmed with relief that she’s at peace but I’m also feeling crushed by a pain so intense i can’t put it into words. I let it out a bit at a time.”
Ashley added: “We have complete faith in there being a greater purpose of this tragedy (and it’s already unfolding through your stories of renewed hope), but unfortunately, faith is not a ‘get out of pain free’ card, and that’s okay.
“I don’t know how to do this, so for now we’ll continue one day at a time held by the grace of God, the support of loved ones and the prayers of strangers who have become friends.”
We would like to offer the family our deepest and most sincere condolences and may Stevie’s soul rest in peace.
