Hollywood actress Sharon Stone says she’s had 9 miscarriages in her life.
“We, as females don’t have a forum to discuss the profundity of this loss. I lost nine children by miscarriage,” the Basic Instinct actress wrote. “It is no small thing, physically nor emotionally yet we are made to feel it is something to bear alone and secretly with some kind of sense of failure.”
She continued, “Instead of receiving the much needed compassion and empathy and healing which we so need. Female health and wellness left to the care of the male ideology has become lax at best, ignorant in fact, and violently oppressive in effort.”
Sharon went on to adopt three sons Roan, Laird and Quinn.
She is featured in PEOPLE magazine’s new issue where she and her husband speak out their journey to be parents.
“I’m just here to make sure that everything goes well, regardless of what it is. I feel like that’s my job. And then when everybody’s fine, I get to be tended to. But it was crazy. It makes you feel helpless. And for a dude like me, like all my priorities have completely shifted.”
