Some losses are so deep that words feel too small, yet love still pushes them forward. That is how former Bachelorette star Bill Goldsmith honored his newborn daughter, Olive, who was tragically stillborn three weeks ago. His moving tribute has touched the hearts of people around the world.

Bill and his partner, Isabelle Eisermann, had announced their pregnancy in September and were eagerly preparing for their first child. But on October 31, their daughter was born sleeping at just 27 weeks. The couple shared the heartbreaking news earlier this month, surrounded by messages of support.

The turning point came when Bill posted a black-and-white photo of himself gently holding Olive. In a letter written directly to his daughter, he shared that he never had the chance to speak to her but loved her deeply. He wrote about missing her in every moment—big ones, small ones, and all the quiet spaces in between.

Bill also opened up about grief in a rare, honest way. He admitted he kept busy to cope, though he wasn’t sure if it truly helped. A quote that struck him said, “Without love, there is no grief,” and he said it made perfect sense. Their heartbreak only reflects the depth of their love for Olive.

Isabelle responded with her own tender words, reminding Bill that Olive knew his voice and felt every kiss. Many followers echoed that sentiment, saying Olive felt nothing but love throughout her short life.

Through their pain, Bill and Isabelle continue to honor their first daughter with gentle strength. And their story reminds us how precious—and powerful—love can be, even in the face of unimaginable loss.
