Louisiana mom dies 24 hours after giving birth to healthy son

MOSS BLUFF – A Lake Charles family is trying to pick up the pieces after a woman died one day after giving birth to a healthy baby boy earlier this month.
According to a GoFundMe page, Sarah Bertrand, 29, died on May 10, just over 24 hours after giving birth to Julian Charles Montou. The boy’s father, Jean Luc Montou, said his fiancée died of a pulmonary embolism that stopped her heart instantly.
“It just happened within moments and she was gone,” Montou shared on Facebook. “I loved this woman so much and there was no warning.”
Montou said that the family did not have life insurance. He created a GoFundMe campaign on May 12 with a goal of $8,000 to pay for funeral costs. The campaign raised more than $10,000 in its first four days.
“Sarah wanted everything for Julian and he made her so happy,” Montou wrote. “I had never seen her so strong, so confident, and so joyful as when she held her new baby boy.”
Montou said Bertrand was buried next to her father Monday.
“It still stings deep, it still feels unfair, and I still feel so helpless without her,” Montou said. “The world is definitely a dark place without Sarah for us.”
Bertrand was born and raised in Lake Charles and is a graduate of A.M. Barbe High School.

Something like that happens to you will make you question God.

My wife just gave birth to our son. Really didn't need to see this.

I couldn't imagine the pain that guy is feeling.

I feel for the guilt that child will bear for the rest of his life.

I hate GoFundMe for frivolous shite but this is something different.
This was an unexpected tragedy. I have no problem with someone asking for help.

Blood clots aren't shite to play around with. The doctors thought my wife had one after her c section, and we were on pins and needles for a couple days. Thankfully she didn't have one.

At the risk of sounding like a heartless bastard, once you have kids PLEASE GET LIFE INSURANCE!
You owe it to your kids....What if both parents die? Who has to raise their kids AND bear 100% of the cost? Term Life is too cheap to not get it.

So sad and it was more than likely preventable with proper care.

I'm on the fence about the gofundme deal. Just looking at the surroundings in the picture, they probably aren't well off. And funerals are expensive. Plus now the dad is burdened with taking off work to care for these kids until he gets his shite back together.
This isn't nearly as bad as a trashy gal I went to school with who set up a gofundme for her medical bills related to diabetes. And then constantly posting pictures of her and her husband at the casino and buffet in Shreveport.
