A
A
For
that
day,
his
daughter
was
born
at
4,
20
p.m,
on
new
year's
eve,
but
his
wife
passed
away
from
complications
just
four
hours
later
he
described
his
shock
and
devastation
and
how
he
went
home
with
his
baby
girl
to
read
baby
books
in
one
hand,
while
parenting
his
daughter
in
the
other
as
traumatic
as
traumatic
as
this
was
his
sole
focus
after
grieving
was
to
care
for
his
daughter.
But
now
he
finds
himself
with
a
renewed
focus
that
was
birthed
out
of
this
painful
experience.
A
Learning
that
the
society
of
obstetrics
and
gynecologists
of
canada,
alongside
the
canadian
foundation
for
women's
health
needed
help
paul
began
to
bring
this
work
to
fruition,
and
this
last
week
the
dream
became
a
reality,
along
with
the
cfwh
paul
launched
the
kitty
car
fund
named
after
his
late
wife,
to
support
the
creation
and
implementation
of
a
confidential
inquiry
system
in
canada.
It
will
support
research,
education
and
initiatives
to
improve
access
to
the
highest
quality
of
obstetric
care,
to
improve
outcomes
for
mothers,
their
babies
and
their
families.
A
Dr
papadik,
chair
of
the
cfwh
stated,
and
I
quote,
there
is
nothing
more
unexpected
or
tragic
for
a
family
than
losing
a
mother
in
childbirth.
Mr
carr
so
poignantly
has
shared
his
family's
personal
tragedy
and
wants
to
see
something
positive
come
of
it
for
canadian
mothers.
We
are
so
thankful
for
mr
carr
for
his
steadfast
support
to
help
us
begin
this
journey
to
eliminate
preventable
maternal
death
in
canada.
