SAN FRANCISCO, California — Sondra Williams, wife of Longview native and San Francisco 49ers lineman Trent Williams, shared on Sunday the heartbreaking news that their son, Trenton O'Brien Williams Jr., was stillborn.
This sad news comes after the couple lost Trenton Jr.'s twin earlier in Sondra Williams' pregnancy.
"It's been extremely hard trying to process the saddest hello and goodbye that I've ever had to endure," Sondra wrote on Instagram alongside a reel of photos from her pregnancy.
“Last Sunday night, on 11/24/24, I welcomed your lifeless 4lb 8oz, 18.5-inch-long body at 11:38 p.m. At only 35 weeks, your impactful and quick arrival didn’t even give Mommy time to get an epidural,” she continued. “I’m so grateful to have had your Aunt Katina, who also cut your cord, and nurse Hannah by my side. As much as I tried to prepare myself for our meeting, I wasn’t prepared—and I don’t think I ever could be.”
Since announcing their loss, the family has received an outpouring of support on social media.
