Fans were deeply saddened when “Siesta Key” star Madisson Hausburg announced the death of her stillbirth baby Elliot on December 12, 2021. In a post shared on her Instagram, Madisson expresses how she and her husband, Ish Soto, are grieving after losing their son.
In the statement, she explained that their son, Elliot Angel Soto, was born as a stillborn at 37 weeks. Everyone was happily anticipating the birth of their child, with family, friends, and supporters eagerly waiting for them to go home, bringing a new ball of happiness.

However, instead of leaving the hospital with their beautiful baby boy, Madisson was wheeled out with just a memory box, with her baby nowhere to be found. After experiencing such a disheartening moment, the reality TV star stated how her perspective of being a mother changed drastically.
According to her, it is true what people say that there is no greater love than a mother’s. However, she didn’t expect that there would also be no deeper pain than losing a child. Although the experience was heart-wrenching, Madisson has tried to keep her head held high, doing her best to cope with the pain every day.
In 2022, after a year of her son’s passing, Madisson shared a first-anniversary tribute for her stillborn baby. In an emotional Instagram post, Madisson reflects on the emotional journey she has been through since Elliot’s passing and how she has learned to cope with the pain and grief.

In the post, she expressed her undying love for her son, no matter where he is. She describes him as the “greatest gift” she has ever received in life. Even though he is not by her side, she will continue to love him today and forever.
Madisson’s journey to moving on was really difficult. Months after Elliot’s passing, Madisson and her husband Soto have difficulty conceiving another baby. It made Madisson confused and frustrated as she didn’t know why it was all happening to her.
In a post with a candid message, she shared that the only hope she had left in her heart after Elliot died was to have another baby someday. However, since the couple has struggled to conceive one for a while now, it has been an emotional roller coaster ride for Madisson.
As Madisson started to freak out about what was happening to her life, people around her started telling her to calm down and just go with the flow of life. However, instead of helping, Madisson somehow finds this advice unhelpful, as it causes her anxiety to get worse than it already is.
So instead of listening to others, Madisson has tried to face the challenge the best way she can. Although she is still on a relatively emotional roller coaster journey, sharing her story online has helped other mothers who have experienced the same loss bear the pain and cope with it the best they can.

Her post has encouraged mothers to seek support and share their experiences online. For those grieving because of losing a child, you can visit The Good Grief Trust and Compassionate Friends website to know how you can take the first step in moving on.
Again, it’s never been easy to lose a child, especially for mothers. Even though they haven’t met them personally, the emotional and soulful connection they had for nine months is beyond describable. Loving someone without even knowing or meeting them can indeed called a “Greatest Love.”
People got hooked up with Madisson Hausburg’s emotional story after losing her baby Elliot. Her motherly love and strength in the face of loss have offered many individuals hope in overcoming their own struggles and grief, no matter how hard.
