Sharing her devastating news in a lengthy Instagram post, the 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' star reveals that she suffered the lost on social media's Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.

AceShowbiz - Actress Gabrielle Ruiz sought strength in fans online after suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage last month (October 2019).

The "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" star, 34, shared the devastating news on Instagram on Friday (November 01) and, as she thanked fans for their support, she confessed she hopes to repay the favour to women who have gone through a similar experience and remind them they are not alone.

"This morning at 3:20am, I had a miscarriage," the actress began her post. "When our OB-GYN (obstetrician-gynaecologist) gave us the news, I went through all the emotions; shocked, numb, confused, practical, overwhelmed, scared, sad, sarcastic, relieved, frustrated, even the thought, 'Oh, this couldn’t be happening to US'."

"That very same day was also Oct 15th, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day on social media."

Ruiz went on to explain that reading the stories of other women gave her the motivation to share her own, adding the support "gave me strength, understanding and the feeling that I truly wasn't alone and that this all wasn't in any way my fault."

"So, I feel it is my duty to continue the transparency in sharing the secret story-telling of miscarriages," the star continued. "Because no one really talks about it as much as we should. I now have the opportunity to tell you that you, my dear, are not alone."

Addressing her own at-home support network, the "Sex, Love & Salsa" star thanked her husband Philip Pisanchyn for staying by her side during the difficult time, as she penned: "Every moment, Philip was there. Philip is a great husband, but he's even a greater life-partner."

"He was so gentle and caring and held me when I cried. I truly thank God for bringing him into my life," she added, before joking, "I also thank God for really strong prescribed Ibuprofen."
