Sharon Stone says she has « lost nine children » through miscarriages, saying women are made to feel that losing a baby is « something to bear alone and secretly, » with a sense of failure.
The Golden Globe-winning actress shared her painful experience underneath an Instagram post by People magazine, where « Dancing with the Stars » performer Peta Murgatroyd opened up about losing a pregnancy while her husband, Maks Chmerkovskiy, was in Ukraine. Stone, who is the mother of sons Roan, Laird and Quinn through adoption, wrote: « We, as females don’t have a forum to discuss the profundity of this loss. I lost nine children by miscarriage. »
The 64-year-old « Basic Instinct » star lamented a lack of care offered to women who have gone through a miscarriage, saying that anyone that has suffered that type of loss requires « compassion and empathy and healing.
