Influencer Emily Mitchell, who was expecting her fifth child, died suddenly this week, her family confirmed.
The Rhode Island blogger, who ran the Hidden Way Instagram account, died three days before Christmas, along with her unborn baby. Her family said she had breakfast on Dec. 22, when she “rejected.”
Efforts to save her and her fetus were unsuccessful. Doctors have not yet determined the cause of death.
“Our hearts are broken and her happy presence will be missed by many,” read a message on a GoFundMe page for Mitchell’s family. “We have had a great impact on the lives of so many people and this loss is incomprehensible to anyone who knew it. Our friend was a dedicated mother and wife, had a heart for the Lord, and loved his children so much. “
Mitchell and her husband, Joseph, shared the news of the latest pregnancy with 109,000 followers on November 19. Her social media account shared the ups and downs of raising her four children, Finn, Isla, Eden and Luna.
“Beautiful inside and out, Emily had an infectious smile and a kind and compassionate spirit,” her online obituary read. “Her exuberant personality radiated outwardly in her interactions and relationships with everyone who knew her. Emily was a symbol of strength in the most difficult times for so many. “
