- Shared grief can be a strange comfort; others understand the ache.
- Practical love and patience matter more than platitudes right now.
Details about the baby and the family announcement
The couple publicly revealed the loss in November. Their daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, died at the end of October. In a joint statement, they spoke about cherishing the brief time they had and the depth of their sorrow.
Kayla has since referenced that moment when discussing how hard it was not to bring their baby home. That feeling of unmet expectation is a central part of her grief.
Support from friends, family and the Dodgers organization
Kayla thanked people for their kindness. She singled out family, close friends, and teammates for their presence and support. The Dodgers community also offered condolences.
- Private messages and calls have been a steady source of comfort.
- Public comments and gestures helped them feel less isolated.
She said she plans to return to social media slowly and will share as she is able.
Why Kayla is sharing — and what she hopes it does
Her decision to document parts of this experience is both personal and purposeful. She hopes it normalizes open conversations about infant and pregnancy loss. She also wants anyone going through similar pain to feel less alone.
The path ahead is uncertain for the family. Kayla’s posts are part of how they are navigating each day and each emotion as they continue their private process.
