Bachelor couple Irena Srbinovska and Locky Gilbert Open Up About Heartbreaking Miscarriage
Perth locals Locky Gilbert and Irena Srbinovska, known for their appearance on the reality show The Bachelor, have revealed the devastating news of their recent miscarriage. In an interview with 7Life, Irena shared the emotional journey the couple has been through.
The couple had been actively trying to start a family and were overjoyed when they discovered they were pregnant last month. However, their happiness quickly turned to heartbreak when they experienced a miscarriage just a week later. The couple went through a difficult and emotional time, with both Irena and Locky feeling the immense sadness of the loss.
Irena, who works as a nurse, initially thought that a slight bit of bleeding was normal during early pregnancy. However, upon seeking medical attention, they received the devastating confirmation that they had suffered a miscarriage. While it was an unfortunate and distressing experience, Irena expressed some relief that it happened quickly.
This is not the first time Irena and Locky have had to go through this painful ordeal. Irena revealed that their first miscarriage happened later in the pregnancy and was an even more challenging recovery, both emotionally and physically. However, Locky has been a pillar of support for Irena, helping her through the process and taking care of her every need.
Irena also highlighted the feelings of loneliness that accompany miscarriages. Despite knowing that many women go through this experience, she expressed how isolating it can feel. She hopes that by sharing her story, she can help others going through similar situations feel less alone.
The couple, who recently purchased their first home together in Perth and got married in a small ceremony in Melbourne, chose to open up about their miscarriage to support Red Nose, an organization that provides counseling and support services for families grieving the loss of a baby or child. They encourage donations to help ensure that grieving families receive the help they need during such a difficult time.
Miscarriage is a topic that is finally garnering more attention, allowing individuals to understand the emotional toll it takes on couples trying to start a family. Irena and Locky’s story serves as a reminder that miscarriages are unfortunately a common occurrence, and support networks like Red Nose are crucial for those affected.
While their journey to parenthood has faced setbacks, Irena and Locky remain hopeful and determined to start a family. Their resilience and openness in sharing their story provide comfort and support to others who may be experiencing similar heartbreak.
