Teigen is known for many things—her modeling career, her Cravings cookbooks, her Twitter account and more. Above all, it could be said Teigen is known for being quick-witted, funny and relatable. And last year, she allowed the world to see a new side of her—vulnerability and strength in the face of great tragedy. In September, Teigen took to social media to tell the world that she had suffered a pregnancy loss.
“We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before,” Teigen wrote in her Instagram post.
Since then, Teigen has been very open about her healing journey. In sharing her loss on social media, she has helped other women who have been through similar situations find their strength and their voice. Teigen’s openness was groundbreaking because it gave many struggling women someone to relate to and not feel like they had to keep the shame and the grief to themselves. And so to celebrate that, we want to dedicate this space to not only Chrissy Teigen for opening up the conversation, but also to all the mothers who’ve experienced pregnancy loss so that they may know they’re not in this alone.
