Jessie J has opened up about her grief over losing her baby, one year on from her devastating miscarriage.
The singer, 34, penned an emotional post in reflection on Wednesday, as she admitted “it still hurts” to her followers.
Jessie revealed last November that she had suffered a miscarriage after trying for a baby “on her own”.
A year on from the tragedy, she wrote on Instagram Stories: “A year ago today I was told my baby no longer had a heartbeat.
“Although I can tell the story now without crying, have and am still discovering all the positives that experience gave me.”
Jessie mentioned having feelings of “strength, wisdom, empathy and gratitude” following her miscarriage, a year later, as she has confronted her grief.
She continued: “It still hurts and all day I have just been thinking about all the women and men and families who have been through this numerous times and how incredibly strong they are.
“Grief is such a weird and personal journey. Time helps but it never truly fades.
“Sending love and strength to anyone’s heart that has or is experiencing this right now.”
The mournful star ended her post with: “And to my little angel baby. I feel you everywhere. Especially today.”
Jessie recalled the miscarriage last year as the “saddest and loneliest time of my life” as she spoke on The Diary of a CEO podcast in May.
She said: “I posted it because I didn’t have anyone to break on…I didn’t have anyone to fall apart on, and that’s what I needed, that’s what I wanted. I was by myself.”
Jessie performed a gig in Los Angeles the night after discovering she had lost her baby, to fans' surprise.
Speaking on her decision to still perform, she said: “The hardest part for me wasn’t doing the show; the show was actually kind of a weird, trippy dream and I was actually grateful that I wasn’t by myself.
“It was when I got in the car after the show by myself and I got home, and I opened my front door, I closed the door and I fell to my knees.”
Jessie added: “That was the worst moment of my whole experience – realising that, other than my career, being a mother and having a child has been the biggest excitement of my life.
“I felt like I’d been given everything I’d ever wanted and then someone had gone: ‘but you can’t have it.’”
