I’ve never commented but! I’m a fellow instructor and I use your videos for both class planning inspiration + personal workouts. Take all the time you need! Your transparency and honesty is something that makes you special in the YT Pilates community. Sending you all the love and healing.

[@MelanieLopezPilates]

[@MelanieLopezPilates]

Thank you so much, Melissa ❤️🙏

[@lisaprebianca206]

I am so very sorry Melanie. I lost my first son at 36 wks and nothing can prepare a woman for this loss. I thank you for sharing this difficult experience with us, silence and avoidance can be more painful than transparency. My heart goes out to you 💔

[@MelanieLopezPilates]

I am so sorry to hear that -- my heart goes out to you 🖤

[@vivimendez40]

I´m so sorry for your loss, I´ve never commented in any video but I do your routines at least once a week and you’re an amazing coach. Take the time that you need for yourself, we will wait for you.

[@MelanieLopezPilates]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@lorrainechristie8464]

I’m so sorry. I very much appreciate and admire your transparency, trust, and vulnerability. I hope you’re practicing self-compassion. Take care.

[@Robbi73]

I'm so sorry to hear that! I wish you to feel better soon, and.... take your time, we'll still be here. It is a big deal, and I'm personally really touched seeing you so vulnerable, but at the same time so straight in front of the camera. Big hug to you

I am terribly sorry for what you just experienced, it sounds devastating. We did miss you, but we will be right here when you feel ready, take your time and most importantly take care of yourself 🌷

[@KA0514]

So sorry for your loss. I went through it twice. We did eventually end up with two sons, almost 6 years apart. Thank you for having the courage to discuss this. Miscarriages are way more common than you think but few know this because it is a taboo subject. Take care of yourself. Hugs from the other side of the country.

[@MelanieLopezPilates]

I’m so sorry to hear that you’re part of the club, Kyla. What a tough experience to go through multiple times. You’re right, it’s incredible how many people have their own stories. I’m so glad that you have your two sons now. Hugs ❤️

Take the time you need. You have done more than enough for us with the themed workout plans using prior material - more than we should expect under the circumstances. I, for one, will happily wait for you. I’ve never felt a connection with any other online instructor, so I’m not going anywhere. Hugs to you.❤

[@midlifemavericks]

It is always difficult to share your life in the public space. You certainly are not alone and we definitely 💯 do care about your mental and physical safety. I have been through a similar experience and it’s not fun at all. I am praying for your healing. Just know that it gets easier with time. God bless you and take as long as you need. We love your content, but care about YOU more…. Peace & Love….

[@MelanieLopezPilates]

I'm so sorry to hear that you've been through similar times. Sending love 💗

[@tamaraclaire1842]

I am so very sorry.

[@DebbieHollandNZ]

Sending you a BIG hug and my love x I have lost 2 babies both between 20-24 weeks. The first time I buried the sorrow and pushed on as those around me encouraged me to do. The second time I allowed myself to feel my feelings and openly grieve. It took me a year to really start to move forwards because there was some unresolved feelings of guilt ( my being too active teaching pilates and running etc) and also bitterness towards my ex husband who seemed relieved. I am a Christian and I now KNOW both my babies are in heaven waiting for me. I have actually seen them in very clear detail which amazed and comforted me. God told me at the time to give them names as they are actual people. God has created them and they cannot be uncreated. Be encouraged that you will never forget your baby but you will slowly heal. And know that one day you will meet your precious baby if you have faith Xxxx

[@MelanieLopezPilates]

Sending you love, Debbie - so sorry to hear that you have been through such difficult experiences 🖤

[@DebbieHollandNZ]

@@MelanieLopezPilates Yes so heartbreaking at the time so I know what you are going through but I have 2 grown sons now and 4 beautiful grandchildren. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger - be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to grieve and heal xxx sending my love - UK Pilates Instructor 😘 LOVE your channel BTW

I’m so sorry that happened. I had a miscarriage my first pregnancy and it was incredibly painful and I felt so alone. People don’t talk about it much. Take care of yourself.

[@MelanieLopezPilates]

Thank you for sharing that with me. I’m so sorry that you went through that. You’re correct, it’s so widespread but so infrequently spoken about. 🖤

[@heatherwhite1323]

Prayers, hugs and love being sent your way! I am so sorry that you are now a member of one of the worst "mom clubs" ever. Remember to take as much time as you need and care for yourself in whatever way works for you. From someone who has been there, although it might not seem like it now your feelings will change and get better with time. Know that you have a lot of people who connect with you and care about you.
