San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Trent Williams and his wife, Sondra, are mourning the loss of their newborn child, Trenton O’Brien Williams Jr., who was stillborn at 35 weeks gestation due to Trisomy 13, a rare genetic disorder.
Sondra wrote a heartfelt post on her social media account, describing the devastating loss and the mixed emotions she is experiencing. She shared a photo of their son, who was 4 pounds 8 ounces and 18.5 inches long, and wrote about the painful process of saying goodbye to her child.
“What it’s been extremely hard trying to process the saddest Hello and Goodbye that I’ve ever had to endure,” she wrote. “Last Sunday night on 11/24/24; I welcomed your lifeless 4lb 8oz 18.5 in long little body at 11:38pm.”
Sondra expressed her gratitude to her support system, including her aunt and a nurse who were present during the birth, and her hope for a future where she can find comfort and peace.
Trent Williams missed Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills following the loss.
