Lauren wants to stay strong for daughter Larose, after the death of Lorena
(Picture: Instagram/Lauren Goodger)Lauren Goodger vowed to be “strong” for her daughter Larose, one, as she reflected on the “hard days” she has faced following the death of her newborn daughter Lorena and ex-boyfriend Jake McLean.
In her candid post, the 35-year-old has bravely detailed her grief online and once again poured her heart out while announcing that she has started a social-media page to document her fitness journey.
Speaking to her 894,000 Instagram followers, Goodger spoke about the body she “hated” after back-to-back pregnancies.
She wrote on her Instagram Stories: "I’ve been through a lot lately and still have my hard days or nights I wake up crying etc.
"But I am strong and I have a little princess who I need to show how to be kind, strong, and an independent woman etc. I’ve had two babies back to back and my body I feel I hated, I wasn’t me. I lost myself completely.
"I’ve lost some weight now (baby weight) and I’ve just gone back to the gym (today) so I’ve started a new page @laurengoodgerbodyx.
"I’m not a nutritionist, I’m not a PT, everything I show is my own. Things I will show... my cooking, my training and my body and I am also not selling nothing. It’s just for fun."
In July, the former TOWIE star announced that her daughter, Lorena, had passed away following complications at birth.
On the day of Lorena’s funeral, Goodger was allegedly assaulted and left with a broken cheekbone. Her boyfriend, Charles Drury, 25, was later arrested and bailed following the incident.
Days before her newborn daughter’s passing, the reality TV star was left in shock at the death of her ex-boyfriend, Jake McLean, who lost his life when his car plunged 70ft off a cliff in Turkey.
Last month, the TV personality penned a moving post about her grief and said she plans to write a book about the tragedy to help others who have experienced the loss of a child.
She wrote on her Instagram Stories at the time: “I just want to say thank you all for the support, I am broken.
“One day I'll write my second book and tell my story to all I've been through when I'm old. And hopefully it can be someone's survival guide.”
