The Armstrong family ismourning a tragedy.

TikToker Michael Armstrong and his wife Emma Armstrong shared the stillbirth of their son Zen Diamond Love at 37 weeks, just three weeks before Emma's due date.

"My wife woke up and noticed there wasn't movement in her belly," Michael wrote on Instagram June 14. "She intuitively felt something was off. A couple hours later, we got an ultrasound and the doctors found no heartbeat."

The content creator—known for making videos about past life regression—shared that Emma had been in labor for 37 hours before welcoming their stillborn son May 23. 

"There was no sign of what went wrong," he explained. "His ultrasound, body and placenta all looked good. As we've learned, sometimes this just happens, and 1/3 of the time no cause is ever discovered." 

Michael explained that he and Emma—who wed in April 2024—had waited to learn their baby's sex "so it was a sweet surprise amongst the grief to meet our precious, beautiful little baby boy."

He went on to praise his wife, emphasizing that she carried their son "with such grace and love, singing to him each night and morning in bed." 

"She brought him into the world with fierce devotion," he continued. "She's been traveling through this heartbreak and physical pain with unwavering courage. She feels it all fully. I am inspired by her."

For Emma, she is learning to accept this new reality.

"I must of spent hours every day just imagining all the things I would do with my baby and the mother I would get to be," she shared. "We were preparing for the happiest day our life and instead we got our worst."

"This is not a share about some silver lining or Gods plan though I have felt the divinity and love like a breath for air that desperately gasp for while I drown," she continued. "This is me sharing my shock. For any human that has felt the ground ripped from underneath them. For any mother that has lost her baby. The shock, denial, confusion, longing, love and unbearable heartbreak of a loss like this all gets a seat at the table."

For the couple, Father's Day looked heartbreakingly different than what they had imagined. 

"Blessings to you, my beloved, on your first Father's Day. I celebrate the powerfully embodied father you are," Emma wrote June 15. "Thank you for giving us Zen. I love you with all of me."

It's love she's felt since the beginning when she shared that they were expecting in January.

 "I know I've spent lifetimes and lifetimes preparing to be your mother," she wrote the following month. "Growing you in my womb has already been the biggest transformation of my life and we are only halfway there. The excitement of finally being reunited with you, earthside. To smell your skin, to look into your eyes, to hold you in my arms fills my heart with complete wonder and a love beyond time and space."
