LOUISE Thompson has revealed her tragic miscarriage in an emotional post, two years after the traumatic birth of her son.
star, 35, shared the heartbreaking update on social media with her 1.5million followers.
She posted a photo of a positive test, and said: “Tw: lots of stuff
“This is not now, this was last January. The night before I got on a flight. As if things needed to get more complicated.
“I only told a handful of people, but I wrote a bit about it in the book and now that it is out there in the big bad world I thought it was easier to share on here than to have anyone question it behind my back.
“I often find it easier to write this sort of stuff down than to speak about it out loud. And hopefully this will help me process it. Sharing can feel quite liberating.”;
Louise shares son Leo, three, with fiancé , after the couple welcomed him on November 16, 2021.
She continued to write to her followers: “So much has happened in the past 3 years as we all know and v v quickly. It feels like such a dense time in my life.
“As my life coach often says I’ve signed up to the ‘speedy learning course’. Riding in the fast lane. My time here on this planet has been anything but boring.
“Sometimes (actually, all the time) I stop myself from having ‘the time’ or the space to think about all the hard things that my body has been through. I love working with my coach because she teaches me to look forward. We talk about fun projects, work, relationships and all the menial bits and bobs that make up this rollercoaster we call life too.
“I haven’t worked with my psychotherapist for well over a year because I thought I was done with all of that. “
Louise went on: “That means I haven’t been forced to look back. But then I had to have more surgery 6 months ago and actually over the last week being back in the hospital to discuss potential plans for future surgeries and stuff has brought everything rushing back.
“It’s landed on me like a tonne of bricks. I’ve noticed some weird avoidance behaviours, some silly distractions seeping in, and also have found it really hard to focus on things properly. I’ve felt a little confused between the then and now and I’ve also had some rather bizarre memories pop in and I’ve cried a little bit most days which feels alien (even though I used to be called tears thompson) because I’ve been so happy.
“I’ll be honest I think there is a need for more processing. I haven’t spoken to a therapist since the stoma surgery.
“I think it might be time to try some dreaded EMDR. Please can someone give me confidence that it won’t be dreaded ?!?”
