In a time of tremendous grief, one woman chose to help the babies of other moms to honor the one she lost.

Sierra Strangfeld made the selfless decision to pump breast milk for donation, even though her baby was gone.

When it became clear Samuel was not going to survive much longer in utero, Strangfeld has an emergency c-section. He lived for three hours. Since Strangfeld's daughter was fed from donor milk supplied by her sister-in-law, so she wanted to help other moms now."I've always wanted to be able to help another mom in need. Samuel would have had a hefty NICU stay had he survived, so I know we would have had to use donated milk to a point. Now I can be the one helping others," she said.

The Neillsville, Wisconsin, mom told"GMA" that"Although some days were terrible, and it would have been easier to just quit, Samuel's the reason I had milk to give. It was one thing physically connecting me to him here on Earth."
