In a series of stark, intimate images, Cori Broadus let the world witness a love story cut short. Her body curled protectively around her newborn, her hand resting near the tiny fingers that would never grow, she didn’t need long explanations. Her captions were brief, almost stunned, as if language itself had failed her. Just weeks earlier, she’d thanked everyone for their prayers, rejoicing that her daughter was finally home. Now, she was saying goodbye.

Around her, the family tried to hold the weight. Her partner, Wayne Deuce, stood beside their baby in the hospital, sharing his grief with the same quiet devastation. Snoop Dogg, usually larger than life, posted only a family photo and two simple emojis—a heart and praying hands. No cause of death has been shared, and maybe it doesn’t matter. What lingers is a young mother’s shattered joy, a home that was ready, and a future that vanished in twenty days.
