Christina Perri off social media to ‘heal’ following pregnancy loss

Christina Perri is on the path of recovery after she announced the loss of her baby girl on November 25. Earlier she had revealed that she had a miscarriage in January 2020.

“Hi, friends. I couldn’t think of one thing that felt appropriate to post after my last post other than Carmella and our little pug puppy, chocolate chip.” she wrote alongside the picture of daughter Carmella and pet. “she has brought a little bit of joy back into our house. honestly, she hasn’t left my side. the days have been long and yet also feel like they all blend into one. we’re not ok, but we believe in a day we will be. Me, Paul, and Carmella all wrap each other up in love and in sadness every day.”

Perri, who married  Paul Costabile in 2017, continued, “we’re learning to navigate our grief together. some days we can’t swim, some days we float fine. every day we burst into tears and every day we find moments to laugh. it’s been all the feelings, all the emotions, all the questions, all the anger, all the sadness; all day long. some moments of surrender and hope slip in there, but not often. I know that’s all normal. honestly, it’s been mostly overwhelming. but also, what’s been overwhelming has been the love and support. the calls, texts, messages, emails, letters, flowers, packages, gifts, food, prayers, cards, stories, and visits have been the greatest outpouring of love in my lifetime.”

She went on to speak of her “worst experience” of her life, thank loved ones caring for them and “everyone who keeps showing us their own wounds and pain to help soften ours.” 

“For now I’m going to keep staying off my social media so I can continue to heal with my family. my accounts will be run by my team and will be all about what’s coming next.”

The 34-year-old Jar of Hearts singer then concluded, “the next time you hear from me my album will be ready! which, honestly, is the hopeful future self I look forward to healing back into soon.”

In November Perri was hospitalized with pregnancy complications. She had later shared on Instagram alongside a picture of her and Paul Costabile holding their baby’s tiny hand, “last night we lost our baby girl. she was born silent after fighting so hard to make it into our world. she is at peace now and will live forever in our hearts.”
