Laura Benanti, a Tony-winning actress, has recounted on her Instagram account the painful moment, in full performance, in which she noticed that she was having a miscarriage of the baby she was expecting. The interpreter, known for her work on Broadway and in series like Gossip Girl or Nashville, was sailing on The Broadway Cruise from New York to Bermuda, where she performed in front of some 2,000 people.
In the publication, Laura Benanti has related that last Monday, April 3, she went on stage while having a miscarriage. According to her words, she herself knew what was happening and that she had started slowly the night before.
Despite the difficult situation, Laura Benanti has highlighted the kindness and affection of some people on the cruise: "But this time we walk together with some of the kindest and most loving humans with whom I will ever have the honor of sharing space. Thank you to everyone in that audience for the grace your presence allowed. For pulling me out of my pain during that holy hour. Thank you to my band for holding me, unconditionally, in your hearts, and to the crew for working so hard to make me as comfortable as possible." .
The actress has claimed that if this had been her first miscarriage, or even her second, she probably wouldn't have been able to carry on, but unfortunately she's no stranger to the pain and emptiness of losing a pregnancy. It is a path that she has traveled before her, hand in hand with her husband Patrick Brown, with whom she has two daughters born by surrogacy.
The couple, as the interpreter has recounted, is going through a complicated situation because they believed that this time they would be able to be parents naturally: "My husband and I are heartbroken, but we will overcome this together like us, and so many others, we've done before."
In addition, in her plea she has reminded other women that they should not feel ashamed: "I share all this, not to gain sympathy or attention, but to remind the many individuals and families who have suffered and will suffer in this way that there is no shame in this kind of loss. That they are not alone."
