Influencer Ashley Stock's 3-Year-Old Daughter Laid to Rest

In April, Ashley, who runs the blog Little Miss Momma, shared that Stevie had been admitted to Children's Hospital Los Angeles "due to rapidly declining motor function." A "large mass" was found on the child's brain. Later that month, Ashley learned that Stevie's tumor was "a form of cancer called DIPG (diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma)." The little one later returned home to comfortably spend time with her family.

Earlier this week, Ashley wrote about how she keeps "feeling the urge" to put her pain "somewhere."

"Not to pawn it off or discard it...but this overwhelming urge to mold it into something new," she continued. "But my heart is tired. And my sadness is paralyzing, all-consuming and exhausting. Which means my hopes to 'rise up' are learning to be patient with the Lord's timing. 'First, you must feel it...all of it,' He reminds me. So for now, I give myself permission to be slow and sad and quiet and indecisive and crawl-out-of-my-skin uncertain about what's next for our little family."

She then described how she gives herself "a pep talk daily."

"Embrace the discomfort of pain Ashley, accept your overwhelming desire to be with Stevie right now as a reminder of how well you loved her," she continued. "You don't need to keep asking 'what now'...simply feel and listen, then the path will unfold in His time."
