announced on Instagram that she had a miscarriage. <\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve carried more loss this year than I ever imagined I could,\u201d Marissa wrote. \u201cFirst my brother-in-law, then my dad \u2026 and now our little boy. Grief has a way of reshaping your world, and I\u2019ve learned that to survive it, you have to search for even the faintest glimmer of meaning \u2014 the small silver thread that helps your heart keep going. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur little boy was that for me,\u201d she continued. \u201cHe arrived the day after my dad passed, two pink lines on Thanksgiving morning \u2026 something I had never seen before in three long years of trying,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd though he began to slip away in the days that followed, and confirmed what we already knew \u2026 he still gave us something precious. He showed me that my body can do this. That hope isn\u2019t gone. I know \u2014 it\u2019s so early. But I wanted to acknowledge this for the people who have been excited for us. The ones who\u2019ve followed our journey, our family, our heartbreaks and our hopes. Life happens quietly sometimes, and it\u2019s such a shame we don\u2019t talk about it more. How can we support one another if we don\u2019t know?\u201d<\/p>\n
Marissa has long shared her attempt to have a baby with Shelby with fans. <\/p>\n
\u201cBiologically, time may not be on our side, but I\u2019m not ready to set this dream down,\u201d she added. \u201cNot now, not ever. And even in the weight of this season, I\u2019m grateful for the light he brought with him; however brief, however delicate. If you\u2019re walking through your own losses, I hope you find your small threads of light too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Followers were quick to send love and support. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so sorry honey,\u201d Tracey Bregman wrote. \u201cI\u2019ve walked this road. I know how deep the heartbreak is. I\u2019m sending you so much love.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo sorry for your loss,\u201d another wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s devastating. We had 2 losses before welcoming our miracle baby. Will be praying for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
There were plenty more comments like that and you can see them as well as Shelby\u2019s post here. <\/p>\n
This all also comes just months after the family was rocked by the death of Brandon Blackstock, who was Shelby\u2019s half-brother and the son-in-law of McEntire. <\/p>\n
