Actress Claire Holt who has featured in The Vampire Diaries and The Originals speaks out about suffering a miscarriage. She was expecting a child with Andrew Joblon, her fiance. The 29-year-old lost her child last month.
The actress took to Instagram on Monday to share her story, she urges others who have suffered the same to speak out too. Holt wrote,”I took this photo 10 days ago, as I waited for surgery after my sweet little baby lost its heartbeat. I sent it to my fiance in the waiting room to show him that I was okay. I wasn’t,” she wrote, sharing a photograph of herself in hospital clothes and showing a thumbs up. I’ve never felt more broken in my life. I debated sharing this so soon and I’m still frightened about making such a private struggle public, but I’m doing it anyway because it’s important. After my D & C (Dilation and curettage), I spent hours on the internet searching for women who had been through it. I was desperate to find someone, anyone, who could relate to what I was feeling.Someone to tell me that the depression and hopelessness were normal. That it wasn’t my fault. That I wasn’t broken forever,” she continued.
Later, Claire Holt thanked everyone who stayed by her side in this phase,”This is how I spent the last two days. I cannot tell you how much your beautiful words of support and love mean to me. The shared stories of loss. The women and men who opened up to show me that I wasn’t alone. I want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. I’m so inspired by the goodness in people. The kindness. The world needs it now more than ever and I will do my best to pay that forward. Let’s always be honest and courageous. Don’t be afraid to speak up – I got your back. Thank you for having mine”
