Aurora L. Steichen

December 21, 2023 – January 4, 2024

Aurora Lee Steichen was born on Dec. 21, 2023 to Andrew and Desiree Steichen, the same day as her great-grandfather’s passing four years earlier. Aurora was named after a song written by Andrew and named by Desiree in picturing stars dancing in the night sky like Aurora Borealis. Though her time was short, she was loved and cherished every moment by all who knew her, and was an immense grace and blessing in our lives. From hand hugs to diaper changes, Aurora showed us that life happens in the smallest and quickest of moments and that we can all offer love in such moments. Aurora passed around midnight the night of January 3rd, the NASA picture of the day was of SAR (stable auroral red) arc ( https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap240103.html ). God is surely watching over her, for this sign is too far-fetched to call a coincidence. We would like to thank all those who loved her and prayed for her, especially the St. Cloud Hospital NICU staff who’s love and dedication gave us this time with our daughter. May you rest peacefully Aurora.

Sorry about the loss of your baby. I lost my 4 month 4 day old son 37 years ago. it is a horrible experience. nothing in life will compare to that. You will need time to grieve and will have many ups and downs, but life has to go on. He had a sister 4 years older. My marriage did not survive the loss of our son. I hope your relationship does better. I did eventually have another daughter with another man who was not a good match so that marriage didn’t last either. She is 31 now. Really glad I have her. Having children is not easy and losing them is even harder. The best things in life don’t come easy. We take so much for granted. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and holding each other’s hand. I really needed my husband at the time, and he did not know how to be there for me. I would have loved to have my hand held. Prayers for the two of you and your extended families as it is a loss for everyone. Peace be with you.

Sending healing prayers for your family and friends ❤️! She was a gift from God! She’s watching over all of you ☺️!
