Coby is an Australian singer and songwriter, and she was living in Europe at the time. The father of the groom, was a big fan and asked her to perform at the wedding in the Netherlands.
However, a few short months later, Coby heard from the father of the groom again, this time to share to the most heartbreaking news that the baby they had all been so excited to meet in December—was stillborn.
He said they had all been comforted by her music in the wake of their devastating loss, and asked if she could write a song for his little grandson which he could give as a gift to his son and daughter-in-law.
Coby named the song Winter Bear, the family's nickname for the baby boy whose birthday fell in the middle of a cold Dutch winter. Now, her beautiful song provides just what mothers need as they cope with the loss of a child to stillbirth.
