Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle has opened up about suffering a miscarriage in July.
In an opinion article titled “The Losses We Share” published in The New York Times, Meghan described a normal morning feeding her dogs, taking her vitamins and changing her son Archie’s diaper, before feeling a sharp cramp.
“I dropped to the floor,” Markle, wrote. Adding, she had a “sense that something was not right. I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second.”
“Hours later, I lay in a hospital bed, holding my husband’s hand,” she wrote. “Staring at the cold white walls, my eyes glazed over. I tried to imagine how we’d heal.”
“Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few,” she added.
Meghan ended the article by encouraging people to ask others how they are doing. She then invited men and women to “take the first steps towards healing”.
