Beverley Mitchell revealed that she had a miscarriage earlier this year.
On Thursday, in a touching blog, the future mom of "7th Heaven" explained how she and her husband, Michael Cameron, were expecting twins a few months ago, but the couple's dreams of expanding their family of four were broken after Mitchell had learned that she had miscarried only a few weeks later.
"A few months ago, Michael and I were delighted, we just found out that we were pregnant and even though we were surprised, we were excited," said 37-year-old Mitchell. "It did not take long before we started to prepare for a life filled with smaller people.
"And to our surprise, we discovered that it was twins!" she continued. "After our shock, acceptance and excitement came in. A few weeks later, our new dream of our growing family collapsed, we had a miscarriage. It was a shock. "
The star "Hollywood Darlings" explained that her "first instinct" was to say that she was "fine".
"And to be honest, I was trying to be," Mitchell remembered. "I thought I should be, for my family, for myself, I had to jump on a plane and go to work surrounded by babies and children while I was still having a miscarriage. was interesting. "
The mother of two then shared a tip that a close friend had given her when she was pregnant with her daughter Kenzie, now 5 years old.
"I remember what one of my best friends said during my first pregnancy, if the pregnancy is viable, it will stay stuck in. If the baby or babies are not viable, they will not do it, "said Mitchell – who is also a 3-year-old mom. Hutton, his old son, wrote: "Even though" that makes sense and it's something that I even said when I shared the news of our pregnancy with our friends most loved ones, it has challenged me.
"Because even though it made sense in my head, my heart did not understand it," she continued. "I had never really considered having a miscarriage since I had already had two healthy pregnancies." That was my misconception, you see, I did not know much about miscarriages and I did not know many people who had miscarried, or so I thought. "
However, once Mitchell started sharing her loss with others, she discovered that the people she knew "shared the same scars".
"I am now part of a group, the tacit and hidden group that mourns its losses in the shadows," she said, noting that "this was the hardest part, that of suffering in silence ".

"Most people who share their story, we are not looking for anything, just the opportunity to share their story.
"It 's with sharing that healing begins, accepting that it happened, that' s when you ignore it or pretend it 's n & # 39; It never happened that you caused more pain, "she continued. "To send it back almost makes the situation worse."
A few months later, Mitchell states that "with time" she began to heal.
"It's crazy how you can quickly embrace the idea of a new life and how quickly it all vanishes," admitted the star before thanking her loved ones.
"I am incredibly grateful to my husband, my husband, who had patience while working in the emotional game, and I also had my friends on whom I counted, who, even though I did not a lot talked about during this time, checked me for messages and gave me time to heal, but also to show that support was there when I wanted it or needed it.
"To these ladies, I will always be grateful, these are my tricks or my dies, they knew me and gave me the space to heal."
Mitchell concluded, "We are still dreaming of growing our family, but now more than ever, I am looking at Kenzie, Hutton and Michael and I just feel satiated, if we are lucky enough to have more family. children, they will fill us more with love, but for the moment I look at my family and I am grateful, blessed and grateful.
