A destroyed father to the father whose girlfriend and newborn baby died only a few hours apart that his little girl brought her last breath in the arms of her deceased mother.
Mellodie-Ocean Jarman, 19, from Atherton in Greater Manchester and her daughter Athena-Pearl died on 2 February.
The tragedy came little more than a day after 'fit and healthy' mellodie complained about feeling weak and dizzy during a routine pregnancy scan on January 31 and was sent home with medication and antibiotics.
But the next evening at 11.20 pm Mellodie started to complain that she had trouble breathing and struggling to see and an ambulance was called.
Shortly after the call was made, the teenager fell unconscious and stopped breathing and collapsed in her mother's arms.
Paramedics desperately tried to breathe new life into her resuscitation and she was rushed to the Royal Bolton Hospital.
Doctors there carried out an emergency C section and Mellodie is birth to Baby Athena-Pearl seven weeks early, at 12.32 pm on Sunday. Tragically enough, Mellodie died around 80 minutes after the operation, while the small Athena-Pearl died hours later.
Now sadness has hit Daniel Darbyshire, 20, about his fear and said: 'At the moment I have just lost. I am almost lost and deeply sad. '

Chef Daniel, from Leigh in Greater Manchester, told how he had placed his little baby girl in the arms of her deceased mother so that she could take her last breath with her mother.
He then pushed his daughter back from the mortuary in a pram, and the family was able to bathe and baptize her.
Mellodie was 33 weeks pregnant when she was taken to the hospital, only a day after she complained that she felt unwell.
Tragically enough she collapsed and died despite the efforts of Medici.
Their unborn child Athena-Pearl was delivered an hour later by C-section of emergency scents, but doctors warned Daniel that it was unlikely that she would survive and that she died a few hours later.
Daniel, from Leigh, Greater Manchester, said: 'I feel lost, I am not sure what to do.
'Mellodie would normally give me insight into what I have to do and keep life as a structure, now it's gone.
“At the moment I just get lost. The big word is actually lost and broken, really. '

The young mother, from Atherton in Greater Manchester, complained about feeling faint and dizzy on the way to a routine pregnancy scan on Friday 31 January
For the first time, Mellodie complained that she felt weak and dizzy on the way to a scan on Friday 31 January.
A doctor said she had a low iron level and prescribed her liquid iron and antibiotics before the couple, who had been together for more than two and a half years, returned home.
Daniel added: 'The day after she was good all day, we watched television and took pictures, just messing around. She seemed fine.
“Then, on Saturday evening she had the same weather and said she couldn't hear it and that she could see white, as she did on Friday, and that she had trouble breathing.”
She was hurried later when she had trouble breathing and had trouble seeing.
Medici in the Royal Bolton Hospital desperately tried to breathe new life into her resuscitation and performed a C section from emergency situations to deliver Athena.
Tragically enough, Mellodie died about an hour after the operation and baby Athena was put on living, but the family was told that she would probably not get through.
Doctors allowed them to place Athena in Mellodie's arms in the hospital mortuary to breathe her last breath.
Daniel then pushed Athena back in a pram to the neonatal unit of the hospital to bathe and dress.
He said: 'The moment Mellodie passed, it was heartbreaking, we pray for the baby to get it and try to survive.

'They tried to give the baby all the medication they could help her, but the medicine did not work and the vitals and the blood pressure of the baby fell.
“Then we decided to move her and they took us to the place where Mellodie was, while she still gave baby oxygen, so baby would have her last breath with mellodie while she was placed in her arms.”
Only a few weeks earlier, the couple had booked their first vacation together and even spoke about buying their own home.
Daniel took Mellodie on an outing of two nights to the luxury Carden Park Hotel in Chester when the couple prepared for their new child and Mellodie celebrated her 19th birthday.
He added: 'We were planning to save and get our own place together.
'We had never been on vacation, so this year we were planning to go to Greece, she wanted to go to Greece.
“We had planned a lifetime together. We thought this wouldn't happen, nobody did it. We were just planning to do everything for the first time.
“I took her two nights on the 16th. We just enjoyed the moment.

“We never stayed in a hotel, it was our first outing for baby and for her birthday treat.”
As he enjoyed their break, the couple spoke about what they would do as soon as Baby Athena was brought into the world.
Daniel added: 'We were both excited to have little Athena, we wanted to give her everything we could, make her life as good as possible as it could be.
'Mellodie wanted Athena to start swimming lessons because we went swimming for a while while we were gone. She wanted Athena to start swimming, we both loved swimming. '
Daniel said that doctors do not know what caused her death and that they hope that an investigation will give them answers.
He added: 'Doctors said she was 19, fit and healthy, there were no complications. Even the doctors have no idea what it caused.
“That is why there is the coroner's report that we are waiting to try to find out and get some answers ourselves.”
