Kara Keough has been totally open and vulnerable about the experience of losing her infant son, McCoy.
Following her heartbreaking interview about how he passed away, the RHOC alum posted a touching Instagram about how she will share the memory of her son with her daughter Decker. Underneath a sweet snap of the 4-year-old, Keough wrote:
“McCoy’s Big Sister 💙 I promise that this girl will hear about her baby brother. She will love him. She will miss him. When people ask how many kids I have, she will hear an answer that includes McCoy. She’ll hear me wishing him a “goodnight” and saying “I love you” when I tuck her in.”

The reality star also addressed the unfortunate discomfort that many people experience around tragedy. She continued:
“He was here. He matters. And saying his name will always make my heart leap for joy. It might hurt for awhile, too, maybe forever. But it’ll also bring happiness and pride. I’m gonna keep saying his name for the rest of my life, and maybe eventually people won’t cringe when they hear it. Saying my angel baby’s name doesn’t make me uncomfortable; it makes others uncomfortable to hear it. That’s okay. I’ve always made others uncomfortable with the things I say – that’s just me. For the others walking this path with me, I see you. I, too, am doodling my baby’s name. I’m writing it over and over again, loving it just as much as I did when I pictured it scrawled across homework, artwork and jerseys. Loving it even more for having met the boy for whom it was intended. I will always be Decker & McCoy’s mama. For as long as I’m living, my babies they’ll be.”
Despite how shattering this traumatic event must have been, the 32-year-old has been adamant about making the most of McCoy’s life. In her Good Morning America interview, she explained how his short time on earth touched so many:
“He got to end up giving his heart valves to other kids so that he can kind of live on through them. The milk that was meant for him is going to an adopted mom who has a baby in the NICU. … I think like most parents, when they deal with loss they want to make sure that they were here, they mattered. We want his life to mean as much to as many people as possible and to let all of the positive ripples of his life be there.”
