Until Heaven

February 2015, Margot Mouritsen was born.

Shortly after her birth, Margot was diagnosed with Trisomy 18. Babies with this condition do not often survive childbirth. In a whirlwind of emotions ranging from joy to complete devastation, Margot left this earth one short week after she was born.

As Margot's family, we mourn her absence. Too many people have stories like Margot's. Nobody should have to suffer such pain. The song and music video for "Until Heaven" were created in an effort to raise awareness for those who have lost loved ones in infancy and to invite comfort and peace to those who are grieving. It is a unique and profound experience to lose a child who has only lived on this earth for a few brief moments. We hope that this song and its message can be a source of support and inspiration to those who know the feeling of losing a young one all too well.

*Footage for the music video was taken on Friday, October 9th 2015 at a candlelight vigil hosted by Sarah Ann in honor of children who were lost in infancy.

Director Statement

Writing and performing "Until Heaven" has been such a faith building experience for me. I have written and recorded before, but it means so much more to be a part of something that is so personal, meaningful, and all too often secret for people who are hurting. Losing a tiny baby is so devastating, but I hope that my music and message can help bring peace and comfort to those who hear it. It has been truly amazing to receive emails and comments from parents who are having a difficult time all over the world! I am so grateful to be a part of their healing process.
