Jade Roper is mourning a tragic loss in her family.
Two weeks after opening up about her pregnancy loss, the Bachelor in Paradise alum shared a heartbreaking note to her late son Beau.
“Beau, I carried your body for almost 5 months, your soul for a little less,” Roper wrote on Instagram Aug. 29 alongside a photo of her in a hospital room, “but I carry you with me in my heart every where and for always.”
The 36-year-old first shared her pregnancy loss with Beau on Aug. 14, noting that she was experiencing a missed miscarriage, which as she explained at the time, occurs when the fetus stops growing, but the mom’s body hasn’t released the pregnancy yet.
And in her Instagram note, Roper also shared that she had hoped that she wouldn’t need to undergo the operation.
“I didn’t want or expect it to go this way, but it is,” the Bachelor Nation member expressed in her Aug. 29 post. “I so badly wanted to bury him under a beautiful tree in our yard, to see any glimpse of his tiny body, which is why I held out so long trying to trust my body.”
