Lauren Goodger has shared plans to give her late daughter Lorena's belongings to charity following the tot's tragic death.
Former The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren, 35, and parter Charles Drury went through heartache earlier this month when their second child passed away moments after she was born.
Lauren shared a heartbreaking statement to announce the heartbreaking news on her Instagram earlier this month.
Weeks on from her newborn's tragic death and just days after her first daughter Larose's first birthday, Lauren has bravely spoken out about her daughter's passing.
Lauren has revealed plans to give her late baby daughter's clothing to charity. She said: "Her clothes are absolutely beautiful. I want to give them and other bits to a charity which helps mums who are struggling."
The reality star's annexe is full of her daughter's belongings such as a double buggy, a baby rocker and clothes.
She added to The Sun she struggles to have the late tot's belongings in the house.
Lauren, who recalled her partner screaming 'please save my baby' at doctors, said: "I can’t have things like that in the house.
"I think I am ready to have clothes. But not anything else."
Lauren, who is planning on having a post-mortem on her baby daughter to understand how she died, has been celebrating her daughter Lorena's first birthday surrounded by friends and family over the weekend.
As she shared a video to show off the decorations for the party, Lauren gushed @babylarose.x 1st birthday was perfect thank you".
In a later snap Lauren shared a photo of her baby girl surrounded by gift bags and wrapped presents as she wrote on top of the snap: "Still opening presents".
A source close to the star recently told the Mirror how her daughter Larose was helping her through the incredibly difficult time.
They said: "Thank God Lauren has had Larose to give her the sense of purpose she needs to carry on through such unimaginable pain.
"The birthday celebrations were kept intimate for the closest members of their grieving family.
"They are also planning a bigger party where they will welcome friends and other children over to celebrate Larose’s birthday, which Lauren started planning while she was still pregnant with Lorena."
Lauren and her partner Charles welcomed their first child together in July last year. In January, Lauren then announced she and Charles were expecting their second child together.
But, on July 10 Lauren shared the heartbreaking news that her daughter had passed away shortly before Lauren welcomed her into the world.
She wrote in a heartbreaking statement: "Lorena R.I.P 08.07.22 she was the most beautiful healthy baby I’ve ever seen just like her sister @babylarose.x … words can’t describe as a mother losing your baby that I carried for all these months perfectly and gave birth too for my angel to be taken from me
"there was no pregnancy or labour complications and she was fine & healthy but I am not going into detail right now just know that there was nothing wrong with her or myself she was perfect I can’t understand it".
