In Loving Memory of Luke Eli | Townsville Birth & Bereavement Photographer

Some stories deserve to be told in full — in the quiet, in the heartbreak, in the sacred space where love and loss meet.

Luke Eli’s story is one of those. This post is not only a glimpse into the birth of a beautiful baby boy, but also a tribute to the strength of his parents and the memory he leaves behind.

With the permission and words of his mum, Gabriella, we are honoured to share this story — one that speaks not only to the unique heartbreak of pregnancy and infant loss, but also to the power of remembrance, community, and advocacy.

💬 “The silence was deafening.” Words from Gabriella Overall, shared in loving memory of her son Luke Eli, who was born sleeping on July 19th, 2021.
🕯️ October is International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. Light a candle at 7PM on October 15th to honour the babies gone too soon. #WaveOfLight #PAILAwareness
