The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has revealed that she tragically miscarried her second child in July.
The former actress, who has an 18-month-old son Archie with her husband Prince Harry, candidly recalled experiencing a “severe cramp” while changing her child’s diaper in July and knew immediately that she was “losing” your baby.
She wrote in the New York Times: “After changing his diaper, I felt a strong cramp. I dropped to the floor with him in my arms, humming a lullaby to keep us both calm, the happy tune contrasted with my senses that something was not right.
“I knew as I hugged my first-born that I was losing my second.”
Then 39-year-old Meghan was taken to the hospital and described how both she and her husband were crying as they came to terms with their devastating loss.
She continued: “Hours later, I was lying on a hospital bed, holding my husband’s hand.
“I felt the moisture on her palm and kissed her knuckles, wet with our tears. Staring at the cool white walls, my eyes went glassy.
“I tried to imagine how we would heal.”
Meghan admitted that her pain was “almost unbearable” and that she has used her experience to ask people to be more open about their feelings and to really listen to others when asked how they feel.
She wrote: “Losing a child means bearing an almost unbearable pain, experienced by many but few speak of. In the pain of our loss, my husband and I discovered that in a room of 100 women, 10 to 20 of them suffered a miscarriage.
Yet despite the striking similarity of this pain, the conversation remains taboo, riddled with (unwarranted) shame and perpetuating a cycle of lonely grief.
“Some have courageously shared their stories; They have opened the door, knowing that when one person tells the truth, he gives us all license to do the same.
“We have learned that when people ask how we are doing, and when they really listen to the answer, with open hearts and minds, the burden of pain often becomes lighter, for all of us. By being invited to share our pain, together we take the first steps toward healing. “
