Wife Dies Hours After Giving Birth, Then Husband’s Gut Tells Him To Log Into Her Pregnancy Blog
Matt Logelin felt overwhelming joy when he saw his newborn baby daughter being born. But within hours, he was living a horrible nightmare.
Matt and his high school sweetheart Liz were together for eight years before they got married. When the happy couple learned they were pregnant, Liz started a blog to chronicle her pregnancy for their loved ones living out-of-state.
Liz had a difficult pregnancy and had been on bed rest for five weeks. The blog served as a great way to keep their concerned friends and family updated along the way.
In March 2008, baby Madeline was delivered by C-section seven weeks early. Liz briefly got to see her baby, but the doctor told her to stay in bed for another 24 hours before she could hold her for the first time. The following day, Matt was preparing to walk Liz out to see Maddy when she suddenly collapsed on the floor.
Liz died of a massive pulmonary embolism just 27 hours after giving birth.
Matt didn’t know how to live without Liz, let alone be a single parent.
In the wake of his wife’s tragic death, Matt felt a sudden impulse to sit down at the computer. He logged back into Liz’s pregnancy blog and just started typing in the same space where she once expressed her own emotions.
Matt poured out all of his emotions, fears, and triumphs as a widower and a single, first-time dad. He kept going back to the blog, day after day. And within months, something amazing began to take shape.

I can relate except mine didn't die as far as I know, she just left, never to be heard from again. She asked me if she could do this, while she was still young and left before I could answer with my input and decision. Apparently she couldn't wait for me to die. She was filipina, I met while on vacation, she saw this as an opportunity, solely. Divorced her in absente. Posted an ad in the newspaper, in Chicago IL area. It went uncontested for 30 days.
Our daughter is now 19 yo.
As for me, this is the second time, this has happened.
The first time it was a son, his mother left shortly thereafter, he's now approaching his 30s. She was a Juvenile Diabetic, I'd imagine when she either injected too much insulin or went without it for some period of time. The rest of the time we were apart, but would visit each other every week... on an alternating Tuesday or Thursday, ..."had to touch something familiar," she said. Divorced her in absente. I posted an ad in the newspaper, in Nashua NH area. She was from the Azores, I met her via Together Dating Service - speed dating and she needed to get out from under her MAFIA Husband's, control in RI.
I'm guessing I'm destined to be alone again naturally.
Had a consensual union or two which lasted 2 years at best. She in both cases, left for another man.
My first marriage lasted 1 hour. She had an affair with my best man.
My second, lasted shy of 10 months. She posted an ad for a mate in the local papers and left after going thru about 50 respondents.
My third, lasted 2 years that's the 2 years we lived together. The rest of the time we were apart, but we would visit each other every 4. to 6months.lasted .. had to touch something familiar.
There quite possibly are two or three other kids but other men stepped up to the plate.. I stepped aside, who am I to stand in the way of true love.
