In the weeks since losing her 10‑month‑old daughter, Codi Dreaux, Cori Broadus has been piecing together a life that no longer makes sense. She has shared raw, unfiltered glimpses of her grief: photos of tiny legs in her arms, confessions of how much she misses her “girl,” and the aching pride of insisting that Codi looked just like her. Every post feels like a promise that her baby will not be forgotten.
Those who loved Codi have built a quiet circle around Cori. Her fiancé, Wayne, mourns the daughter he believes is finally at peace. A NICU nurse, shattered by the loss, recalls giving Codi a final bath, unknowingly preparing her “for Heaven.” Even Snoop Dogg, usually larger than life, chose a simple family photo and a single heart. In their shared silence and small tributes, an entire family learns how to breathe again without the child who changed them all.
