Amelie Lens Reveals Second Miscarriage, Seeks To Raise Awareness Amidst Grief
Electronic music DJ and producer Amelie Lens has shared a deeply personal and heartfelt message on social media, revealing her experience with a recent miscarriage. The Belgian artist, known for her powerful techno sets, opened up about the profound grief and isolation that can accompany such a loss, aiming to break the silence surrounding the issue.
In a candid post, Lens disclosed that she had been pregnant for two months and tragically learned at a recent scan that the baby no longer had a heartbeat. This marks the second time the artist has experienced a miscarriage, a revelation she shared to offer solidarity and comfort to others who have gone through similar situations. “I am not sharing this for sympathy. I am sharing it so other couples or women know they are not alone,” she wrote. “Miscarriage is invisible grief.”
Lens also recounted a previous miscarriage that occurred while she was on a flight to India, a difficult experience that she kept private at the time. “I went to 2 hospitals in Delhi and still played my show that night on painkillers,” she stated. “I don’t know why I did not tell anyone.” She highlighted the emotional toll of this silence, explaining, “The moment I found out I was pregnant, I felt like a mom. You start dreaming about this little human, make space in your heart, your future changes. And suddenly you are mourning a baby no one else even knew was coming.”
The renowned DJ emphasized the commonality of miscarriage, a topic she believes is often shrouded in secrecy. “One in five pregnancies ends in miscarriage. I did not know that. Nobody told me,” she wrote, expressing a wish for a more open conversation. And despite the emotional and physical challenges she is facing, Lens confirmed her intention to continue with her scheduled performances this week, explaining that music and the presence of her husband are sources of healing for her. “Music heals me and there is no place I would rather be than in my DJ booth, with my husband by my side.”
Lens’s brave and vulnerable post has resonated with many, serving as a powerful message of support and a catalyst for a much-needed conversation about a topic that affects countless individuals and couples. We send all our love and support to Amelie in these trying times.
