Elisabetta Canalis is suffering from heartbreak after a miscarriage.
“Unfortunately, life gives you … a reality that you do not expect, and that is very hard to accept, even if you think you are strong enough and prepared,” she wrote in Italian on Friday on WhoSay via The Daily Mail.
The 35-year-old actress/model was due to give birth to her first child with boyfriend Brian Perri this fall.
“You’re never really ready to be told that there is no more beating (heartbeat) and that it had already stopped long ago,” she continued before adding a supportive message to other women who have gone through the same thing.
“I just want to say to all those women who are going through it to stay strong because life goes on and it is nobody’s fault,” Canalis added. “Nature acts in incomprehensible ways.”
As the former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant, who briefly dated George Clooney in 2011, attempts to move forward after her traumatic loss, she’s grateful to have Perri by her side.
“I know I’m lucky because I have a special man next to me that I wish all to have,” she wrote. “The future is full of surprises and happiness and there’s a lot of hope, I keep on believing in it.”
Despite the devastation from losing a child, Canalis remained optimistic in her message and attempted to portray that to her fans.
“We can only accept it. I just want to say that I feel you close, if you are suffering as I am doing,” her message included. “We can’t deny it, it’s like an incessant sorrow you can’t get rid of.”
