Rebecca Zamolo Says Opening Up About Her Miscarriage Online Helped Younger Viewers Understand Their Own Moms' Losses (Exclusive)
YouTuber Rebecca Zamolo tells PEOPLE that she's happy to have created lines of communication between kids and their moms dealing with pregnancy loss after documenting her own miscarriage experience on her social media platforms.
As emotional as she became while filming the video, Zamolo says she felt compelled to share her miscarriage story in the interest of being honest with herself and her following. Going public with her experience in front of a generally younger audience had an added, less expected benefit too: she was educating a new generation about that type of loss so many other families endure. Reflecting on the communication she's inadvertently — albeit gladly — encouraged amongst families, Zamolo notes that she thinks it's "really important" to ensure that kids are able to take part in a difficult conversations about miscarriages and participate in supporting their mothers.
