Maya Vander is mourning a miscarriage just six months after she delivered her stillborn son.
On June 21, Vander posted to her Instagram Stories to share the heartbreaking news.
Selling Sunset’s Maya Vander Reveals She Suffered A Miscarriage Just 6 Months After Son’s Stillbirth
“I had a very crazy week,” Maya wrote alongside a photo of her 3-year-old son, Aiden, sleeping. “Miscarriage after 10 weeks …following my stillbirth..but my kids and my husband are absolutely my blessing and I am so lucky to be their mother!”
The reality star-realtor went on to praise her husband Dave Miller along with her kids Aiden and Elle, 2, for bringing “joy and happiness” into her life. She added, “Hug and love the people you care about. Don’t take things for granted.”
Just last summer, Maya revealed that she was expecting her third child. But five months later she shared how she suffered a stillbirth with her son Mason at 38 weeks pregnant.
“I always heard of it but never imagined I’ll be part of the statistics,” she wrote on Instagram in December.
“Instead of delivering a baby, I get to go home with a memory box… I do not wish this on anyone. What was a regular weekly checkup turned into a nightmare that I never imagine will happen to me.”
The 40-year-old has since often discussed her grieving process with her Instagram followers.
“I have women (who might be going through the something similar) ask me how I’m doing after my stillbirth & pregnancy loss and how I’m able to continue pushing forward with my daily life,” she wrote in a June 16 post. “Everyone handles loss in their own way, but for me I find the key is to stay busy – a healthy distraction always keeps me going.”
Maya went on to give advice for those who are in a similar situation, sharing how they should work, socialize, exercise as well as talk to others.
“From my own experiences, I know the pain of loss won’t heal overnight,” she said, “but today is a great day to begin or continue furthering the healing process.”
