British musician Jessie J (34) suffered a miscarriage exactly one year ago. Now the singer remembers the terrible stroke of fate in a heartbreaking Instagram story. “A year ago today I was told my baby had no heartbeat,” J begins her post. In the meantime she can tell the story “without crying”, but the heavy loss “still hurts”. At the same time, the 34-year-old explains that the devastating experience also taught her “strength, wisdom, empathy and gratitude”.
On her difficult anniversary, the singer sends her thoughts to “all the women, men and families who have lived through this experience multiple times,” noting “how incredibly strong” these tragedy-stricken people are. “Grief is such a strange and personal journey,” explains J. “The passing of time helps, but it never quite goes away.”
The singer closed her heartbreaking post with the words: “To my little angel baby: I feel you everywhere, especially today.”
