Lisa and Furkan Akkaya to Speak Publicly on Son Xavi’s SIDS as Online Abuse Persists

They say speaking out could help others feel less alone.

Overview

  • The couple, answering questions on Instagram on Tuesday, said they will soon discuss how their four‑month‑old son Xavi died and use the talk to explain sudden infant death syndrome, an infant death that often has no clear cause.
  • Lisa said abuse and threats still arrive after each post, with strangers telling her how to grieve, and she has shared examples and signaled possible legal action against some messages.
  • She reported that therapy has begun to help her speak openly about the loss and release some of the weight she has been carrying.
  • Lisa said she and Furkan have argued more than ever since February, yet they remain together and focus on steady communication as they work through shared grief.
  • She ruled out another biological baby for the next few years and said adoption could be an option later once the family feels ready.
