It started slowly the night before. If it had been our first loss, or even our second, I likely wouldn’t have been able to go on.

But unfortunately, I am not a stranger to the pain and emptiness of losing a pregnancy.” “It is a path I have walked before, hand in hand with my husband,” Benanti continued. “But this time we walked it alongside some of the kindest, most loving humans I will ever have the honor to share space with.” READ MORE: Laura Benanti Returns To ‘The Late Show’ With A Hilarious Holiday Greeting From Melania Trump She then thanked the audience at the show for  “the grace your presence allowed” and for lifting “me out of my grief for that Holy hour,” and thanked “that little soul for choosing me as your home, even for a short time.” Finally, the “Life & Beth” actress wrote, “My husband and I are heartbroken but we will move through this together as we, and so many others, have done before.

I share all of this, not to garner sympathy or attention, but to remind the many people and families who have and will suffer in this way that there is no shame in this kind of loss.
