Christina Perri has opened up about her devastating miscarriage, calling it the worst experience of her life.
The 34-year-old singer shared the news on her Instagram two weeks ago, saying that her daughter had been “born silent”.
She returned to the app on Tuesday night to say she would be taking a longer break from social media as she grieves the loss of her baby.
Christina, who is married to Paul Costabile, shared a picture of her daughter Carmella, two, lying on the floor with the family dog, saying the pug had brought a “little bit of joy back into our house” and hadn’t left her side.
She said: “The days have been long and yet also feel like they all blend into one. We’re not OK, but we believe in a day we will be.
“Me, Paul, and Carmella all wrap each other up in love and in sadness everyday. We’re learning to navigate our grief together.
“Some days we can’t swim, some days we float fine. Every day we burst into tears and every day we find moments to laugh.
“It’s been all the feelings, all the emotions, all the questions, all the anger, all the sadness; all day long.
“Some moments of surrender and hope slip in there, but not often. I know that’s all normal. Honestly it’s been mostly overwhelming.
“But also, what’s been overwhelming has been the love and support. The calls, texts, messages, emails, letters, flowers, packages, gifts, food, prayers, cards, stories and visits have been the greatest outpouring of love in my lifetime.
“Yes, it’s been the worst experience of my life, but how bittersweet to also be the most loved I’ve ever felt at the same time.
“Thank you. Thank you to everyone we know and everyone we don’t know who has held us up and everyone who has carried us through so far.
“Especially a heartfelt thank you to everyone who keeps showing us their own wounds and pain to help soften ours. You all have shown us a kindness we’ll never forget.
“We love you, so much.”
Christina said she would be staying off social media to grieve with her family, with her team running her accounts for the time being.
She revealed she would return when her new album is ready.
Christina added: “I hope the holidays bring you joy and I hope after a year that brought us so many storms, we find only rainbows in the new one.”
Last month she had shared a photo of herself holding her baby’s hand as she shared the devastating news that she had miscarried.
She had been suffering complications during this pregnancy and had been keeping her fans up to date with candid posts as she entered her third trimester.
The week before she had been hospitalised and had shared that she was expecting to deliver the baby early.
Christina said last month: “Last night we lost our baby girl. She was born silent after fighting so hard to make it to our world.
“She is at peace now and will live forever in our hearts.”
