"It will tear you open like nothing else": James Van Der Beek and wife Kimberly reveal the pain of three miscarriages
The 41-year-old actor also discussed the agonizing grief he'd experienced, in the meantime also urging people to recognize and embrace the changes caused by the situation
In a heartbreaking post on Instagram on Sunday, James Van Der Beek revealed that his wife, Kimberley, had suffered three miscarriages. The Dawson's Creek star, who is a father to five children with Kimberly: Olivia, Joshua, Annabel, Emilia, and Gwendolyn, wrote a post about the terminology of the word miscarriage.
In the picture accompanying the post, Van Der Beek can be seen cozying up to his wife and daughter, while he spoke about how a new word should be created to describe the situation as he penned: "Mis-carriage", saying that it somehow suggests fault for the mother, as if she dropped something, or failed to "carry."
