Vander detailed his experience in the caption of an Instagram post.
“I’ve had women (who may have experienced something similar) ask me how I’m doing after stillbirth & pregnancy loss and how I can move forward in my daily life,” Vander wrote. “Everyone deals with loss in their own way, but for me, I find the key is to stay busy—a healthy distraction always keeps me going,” she continues.
