Meghan Markle miscarriage was revealed in a recent writing. Markle explained that in July of 2020 she experienced a sharp pain that caused her to drop to the floor.
Markle wrote an op-ed piece for the NYT, revealing on a July morning she was tending to baby Archie … “After changing his diaper, I felt a sharp cramp. I dropped to the floor with him in my arms, humming a lullaby to keep us both calm, the cheerful tune a stark contrast to my sense that something was not right.”
The fear of losing her second child struck, she explained … “I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, I was losing my second.”
“Hours later, I lay in a hospital bed, holding my husband’s hand. I felt the clamminess of his palm and kissed his knuckles, wet from both our tears.”
Meghan spoke on the healing process of having a miscarriage saying, “I tried to imagine how we’d heal” … and then, months later, she remembered that reporter’s simple question, “Are you okay?” She recalled how her answer resonated with people … that she was NOT okay, and it was liberating to honestly explain.
Much like Chrissy Teigen Markle shared her heartbreak with the knowledge of the many women who suffer losing a child … “Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few. In the pain of our loss, my husband and I discovered that in a room of 100 women, 10 to 20 of them will have suffered from miscarriage. Yet despite the staggering commonality of this pain, the conversation remains taboo, riddled with (unwarranted) shame, and perpetuating a cycle of solitary mourning.”
