In November 2020, Meghan revealed in an essay in the New York Times<\/a> that she suffered a miscarriage in July of the same year. \u201cI knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second,\u201d she wrote. \u201cLosing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a mom, and an expectant mom, I deeply appreciate the significance of community support, safe and accessible pregnancy resources, and trusted guidance in a nurturing setting. These ingredients are essential to not just our physical health, but our mental well-being, and I commend you for leading a compassionate community that lives these values,\u201d Meghan began her letter. \u201cThank you for all you do for the women and mothers who are turned away elsewhere, at no fault of their own. When we consider how vulnerable any mother feels during the fragile time of pregnancy, we gain perspective about how especially difficult it can be for pregnant women of color and those who come from under-resourced and vulnerable communities. I hope you will accept an offer of support to help further uplift Harvest Home\u2019s residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Start doing his lunchbox right before he\u2019s up while I have [Lili], getting her a little nibble. My husband\u2019s helping me get him downstairs and I make breakfast for all three of them. It\u2019s very important to me. I love doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
