Kara Keough declared she’s pregnant on Sunday, April 4, 1 year following losing infant son McCoy.
“For Christians, for Jews, and for me, this period is a reminder of the passing of firstborn sons. Sacrifice. Suffering. Mourning. Grief,” that the 32-year-old daughter of Real Housewives of Orange County alum Jeana Keough started via Instagram. “Why is this night different than other nights? Last Easter was the worst night of my life. We spent some time in the hell that is seeing your child die. This Easter is decidedly better. Despite that gloomy Easter night, I can’t ignore this day also signifies rebirth. Renewed hope”
Kara, who shares 5-year-old daughter Decker with husband Kyle Bosworth, posted three Easter baskets in the front of McCoy’s”Garden of existence.” In the backyard, a sign reads,”McCoy’s a huge bro! Sprouting this Spring” Decker proudly posed with her basket, McCoy’s basket along with a basket for the future sibling.
“It is stated that the word’Easter’ is derived from the goddess Eostre. Eostre, the goddess of fertility, signifies the arrival of new life and also the dawn of spring. And therefore it’s for us,” the reality TV personality continued on Sunday. Quite literally rising from the ground. Thank you for sending us this sacred gift. You are a big brother!”
Kara finished her statement with a nod to her late father, Matt Keough, who died in May 2020, 1 month after McCoy’s passing.
“Tell Grandpa which I said he was right,” she wrote. “He will know what I mean.”
Their infant boy died during childbirth after undergoing “shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord.” Six months afterwards, she penned a strong essay concerning the reduction of a child for Good Morning America.
“Every day, every moment, another mom joins us in this bar. It’s a club no one wants to become a part of, but the love and compassion within it are unlike any other,” she wrote at October 2020. “The instantaneous bond which contrasts between two women once we sit together in this event is almost spiritual. … We ask ourselves,’Where are we supposed to put all this love, this love we had booked for them?’ The answer becomes so clear: all around us, of course, and into them, nevertheless. Above all — and without a hesitations — we need to put the romance into ourselves once again.”
