Vienna Girardi Grieves Miscarried Twins on Scheduled Due Date
Last August, former The Bachelor contestant (and winner) Vienna Girardi suffered a tragic miscarriage. Grief-stricken, she reported that she had lost both twins.
That was five months before her due date.
Now that what what would have been her due date has come, Vienna is posting about how she’s coping — and not coping — with her loss.
Back in June, we were so happy to report that Vienna Girardi was not only pregnant, but expecting twin daughters.
On August 5th, Vienna Girardi tragically miscarried. On August 13th, she was finally ready to share the sad news.
“My water broke due to the amniotic sacs rupturing. I spent the next 2 days in the hospital trying everything to save them.”
A heartbreaking and desperate fight. One that she and the doctors ultimately lost.
“My little angels went to Heaven on Aug 5. And I was rushed into the OR for emergency surgery and was in the ICU for 4 days.”
Devastating.
“Your mommy will never forget you and I loved you both with my entire heart.”
On Wednesday, January 10th, Vienna Girardi posted an update on how she’s doing:
“Today should have been a day to rejoice and celebrate life… today was my due date.”
Sometimes, something as simple as a date on a calendar can break your heart all over again. It’s tough to ignore.
“Instead I’m finding it hard to even get out of bed, hard to smile or feel anything at all.”
That is very understandable. Grief can seem to suck the life out of you and rob you of any sense of hope or joy.
She describes what sound like serious depression symptoms, and she doesn’t try to sugarcoat things.
“I feel numb as I stand outside watching my dogs; it’s wet and gloomy as if the world knows and feels my pain.”
She says that one thing has gotten easier: wearing a facade that everything’s fine and normal.
“Each day has gotten easier to for me to put a smile on and pretend everything is ok but not today.”
Coping with grief can be a fake-it-until-you-make-it process, but on some days, everybody has to drop the false smile.
“I can’t pretend today.”
Just because she can’t seem to feel happiness doesn’t mean that she’s entirely numb.
“I’m hurting, I’m sad, and I feel empty.”
And she continues:
“I still wondering why and I still get angry and today I’m mad and sad and just want it to be ok to feel this way.”
She ends her post with a broken heart emoji.
Very appropriate.
Different people respond to different situations in different ways. Just because you may know someone who “shook it off” after a miscarriage doesn’t mean that someone else’s sorrow is somehow invalid.
And, chances are that the people who “dealt with it” didn’t, actually — that they’re just better at hiding it.
It’s good that Vienna is sufficiently in touch with her emotions that she can describe exactly what she feels and what she doesn’t — what she can’t — feel at this point in her grieving process.
That will help her to heal.
That … and time. Nothing can make it better, but time can make it easier.

Kim Kardashian: I Thought I Miscarried North!
There may be plenty that is fake, phony and contrived about Kim Kardashian.
But one thing that has been painfully real for the reality star over the years has been the difficulty she’s had getting pregnant and then being pregnant.
Due to these ongoing health concerns, for example, Kardashian and Kanye West are actually using a surrogate for their third child.
According to various reports, this surrogate is due to give birth to Kim and Kanye’s daughter in January.
That’s looking ahead, though.
Looking behind, Kim opened up Sunday night on the Keeping Up with the Kardashians 10-year anniversary about her first time carrying a child in her womb.
And the major fear that accompanied this experience.
“I was so scared, I was having so much pain. I mean, at one point I thought I had a miscarriage – I was pretty certain about it,” Kardashian explained on air.
She continued telling this unfortunate tale as follows:
“I didn’t know what was going on. I flew all the way home on Thanksgiving and the doctor told me, ‘There’s no heartbeat, you had a miscarriage. Let’s get through it, come in after Thanksgiving dinner.’
“Then I went in that morning and he was like, ‘There’s a heartbeat, you didn’t have a miscarriage!’ and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is a sign.’
“It was such an emotional Thanksgiving, and Kourtney was the only one that knew about it. Her and Kanye, because we were in Miami living together.”
Wow.
Criticize Kim Kardashian as much as you want to, but this must have been so very frightening.
We can’t imagine gone through anything like it.
Kim and Kanye are now parents to a pair of healthy kids named North and Saint.
They seem like loving, committed, doting parents.
On this same family special, Kardashian talked about falling for Kanye after her marriage to Kris Humphries fell apart.
“After my breakup, I was feeling really low and down and he said, ‘Just come to Paris and see my fashion show.’
“He jokes that he put on this whole fashion show just to get a date with me.
“So I went there and I stayed with him, and that’s where we started dating.
“I swear from the moment I landed, I fell madly in love with him and I thought, ‘Oh my God, why didn’t I do this sooner?’
“Like, this is what real life is like – love and fun and real support.”
That actually is a very sweet story.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 14 premieres on E! on Sunday, October 1.

Jamie Otis Shares Heartbreaking Message to Baby She Miscarried
Jamie Otis has shared an emotional message on Instagram… to her late baby.
As previously reported, Otis and Doug Hehner (who met and got married on the reality series Married at First Sight) lost their first child due to a miscarriage last week.
The tragic event took place just a few days after they went public with Jamie’s pregnancy.
Soon afterward, Otis wrote a post on her official blog, trying to put the pain of this loss into words.
“My heart is so heavy,” she wrote at the time. “There are no words to express the pain and sorrow associated with losing our baby Hehner.”
On Saturday, meanwhile, Otis continued to mourn by posting a collage of the famous couple in happier times.
She included with this photo a message to the late child himself.
“Not a day goes by that I don’t wake up thinking of you, Baby Hehner,” Otis wrote.
“I know I have to get back to ‘normal life’ but I just don’t know how to. Today daddy and I are going to pick out a perfect name for you. We love you so much.
“I hope you’re bouncing on clouds and feeling loved all the way up in heaven. #ourangel #LoveYou #angelbaby.”
One day earlier, as posted above, Otis also relayed a telling quote in honor of her baby.
It read:
“We never had the chance to play, to laugh, to rock, to wiggle. We long to hold you, touch you now and listen to you giggle.”
Otis, who also appeared on The Bachelor a few years ago, now works as a nurse.
She met Hehner on Season 1 of Married at First Sight and defied the odds by remaining happily married to him.
The two then documented their life as a married couple on spinoff series titled Married at First Sight: The First Year.
Doug grieved about his wife’s miscarriage in a touching Instagram post last Wednesday, July 13, writing on his social media account:
“#BabyHehner even though you could only leave us with your footprints, you will forever remain in our hearts.
“@jamieotis and I love you! Thank you everyone for your love and support.”
