An Evening for Life
In benefit of Empty Cradle
The death of a baby is one of life’s most devastating experiences. It leaves parents feeling shocked, disorientated and heartbroken, with debilitating grief and a profound sense of isolation. On June 27, 2018 Missy and her husband Julien held their beautiful daughter James for the first and last time. Sweet baby James had several heart defects in addition to Miller Dieker Syndrome, an extremely rare disorder that causes fatal seizures in infants. Her heart stopped in utero, and she was delivered two days later. In honor of James and all babies gone too soon, we present to you An Evening for Life.
About the Event
An Evening for Life is a philanthropic, breathtaking theatrical show in support of Empty Cradle, a Southern California non-profit dedicated to providing pregnancy and infant loss support, education, and remembrance. Cirque du Soleil performers and San Diego’s finest singers and dancers have donated their talent and time to take us on a journey through grief and healing. This powerful spectacle will showcase love and loss and all it encompasses.
