Actress and singer Jana Kramer shared a heartbreaking message with her followers on social media revealing she recently suffered a miscarriage and it wasn’t her first one.
The 34-year-old took to her Instagram on December 9 to share an image of herself holding an ultrasound along with a caption that began, “1-3. Today I am 1-3. I debated posting this for the exact reason why it’s a silent struggle. I don’t want I’m sorry or sympathy. I just don’t want to feel alone. And I know I’m not.”
She continued, revealing it sadly was not the first time she experienced a miscarriage. “This, unfortunately, isn’t my first loss. When I first found out I was pregnant I wanted to shout it from the rooftop but I know for reasons like this we have to wait. So because we don’t tell many, we have to suffer silently…and suffering silently was my thing in the past, but it’s not now.”
Kramer decided to open up about her difficult struggle in order to let others who suffered a miscarriage that they are not alone. “For the women out there who have miscarried in the past and need support and a place to grieve their little one lost or to those in the thick of it like me who are currently grieving and in pain, let us all be there for each other,” she wrote. “You don’t need to feel alone and maybe that’s me talking to myself but if you need a place to share, I’m here for you…and all of us are (and guys too. We sometimes silence your voice because you feel bad to express how it’s made u feel so let this be a safe place for you too).”
The country singer and former One Tree Hill actress is already mom to daughter Jolie,1, whom she shares with husband Mike Caussin. Although the pair went through a difficult time in their relationship when Kramer revealed her husband had cheated on her, Caussin went to treatment for his sex addiction, and the two are committed to making their marriage work.
