“I can’t even explain the pain I woke up with today. It’s like the trauma woke me up with tears before I could even understand why,” Perri wrote on an Instagram Story selfie from a doctor’s office, where the singer was taking a “non stress test.”

Perri spoke about how “unfair” losing Rosie was, noting, “It’s so unfair I was this pregnant when she passed away. I remember it all, and it’s heartbreaking all over again. But, I am ok. I will get through it.”

“This pregnancy is not the same. This little girl is not the same,” she added, and later said that she’s reminding herself that “it’s okay to feel whatever I feel.”

“Today it’s a lot of pain. Maybe tomorrow will be different. I’m just riding the wave and loving myself through it,” she concluded, adding, “To all my PAL mamas: gosh, I see you and love you.”
