The American actress took to Instagram to thank fans for the outpouring of support she and her husband have received in the ensuing days, while also revealing that their baby, Willow, has been laid to rest under their tree.
She also took the brave move to share a brief clip of the devastating moment she was informed that her baby had no heartbeat, as she and her husband sought to be ‘transparent’ through her journey of grief and help ‘others as well as ourselves’.
In the video, Mara’s sonogram is shown, with a male voice – presumably that of a doctor – informing her: ‘So unfortunately, the fetus has no heartbeat.’

She accompanied the heart-wrenching post with a lengthy caption, which read: ‘To the showering of love received, thank you from bottom of our hearts.
‘I am so humbled and got teary-eyed several times at how beautiful humans can be and so sad but hopeful with the stories shared of depression and miscarriage and addictions.’
Mara made the revelation of their devastating loss on Sunday, two days after her recovering alcoholic husband Jonathan was stopped by security at Ireland’s Dublin Airport for being too intoxicated to board a flight to Vancouver, Canada.
At the time, she explained that the Tudors star had taken the miscarriage ‘particularly’ badly and had started drinking again to deal with the loss.
In her new post on Tuesday, she continued: ‘Thank you for sharing your soul and stories back, as this helps us feel that we are not alone.
‘Anyone who knows me personally knows I would normally never share such personal sadness (only because in my head, I would not want to burden others and because I trust that in time God will heal me) but I was happy to come to my husband’s defense.
Opening up: In a lengthy post, Mara spoke about the comfort she has received from the kind words, as well as her reasons for revealing the deeply personal news
‘I could not sit back and see him attacked by Darkness publicly during such a tender time. Thank you for coming to ours. Please continue to always write or comment about your days no matter what I share as when I see it I will return the love back someway or it will be read by someone else who can too.
‘I so wish that I could support you on all your walks and sad days so hopefully the posts I share will make you laugh or lighten your days or make you smile/brighten them somehow.
‘This is not a highlights nor lowlights reel, but simply an in-the-middle to keep in contact. I was very vulnerable in my last post as well as being at an all-time low and on such days I sometimes will feel the need for support, so thank you for being so kind to me and being a safe place.
‘We will try to be more transparent on our journey as I see it may be helpful for others as well as ourselves. We don’t have to carry the weight of the world ourselves. We can help lift one another up.’
Mara also revealed the location of Willow’s place of rest, writing: ‘I have been given peace and Baby Willow is now planted in the tree in front of our home that has weeping long branches and leaves so we can brush our faces in soft leaves in passing or we can see the baby dance with the wind in the branches as they sway.
‘It is helping me process the situation … as Nature does. Thank you again Dr Stu for getting us through that as watching a sonogram not have a heartbeat is very surreal and beyond sad.
‘Thank you Father God for supernatural peace. May you afford those who seek you the same peace and may we grow as humans and have more compassion for all humanity.’
Mara, who welcomed her son Wolf with Jonathan last year, initially announced the couple’s sad news on social media, beside a drawing of a young girl stroking a lion.
She wrote beside the poignant image to fans: ‘With much sadness, we open our hearts to share that J and I lost our second child, who was baking in the oven.’
Mara went on to admit her husband was struggling with the news – but fiercely praised his strength through his lengthy battle with alcoholism and depression, confirming that he had relapsed.
She continued: ‘Child was very very much wanted (right now especially by J, so he took the news particularly not so well) and we are still working with coping skills over here… when life throws us curve balls such as these.
‘Depression is a real concern from past abuse as well as alcoholism which he was born with. He has been able to turn any ugliness and hurt in his life into art and is the strongest person I know.’
Expressing her admiration for the Tudors star further, she added: ‘I do not know anyone who has been through what he has been through and reached his level of successes.’
Confessing the battle does not come without its difficulties however, she went on to thank followers for their support – and for understanding his struggles as a serious mental health condition, without judgement.
‘It does seem though that every time we seem to be making so much progress…’ she went on. ‘Sometimes it’s like two steps forward, one step back.
‘Thank you family and friends and all of you lovely kind beautiful people who send us good energy and thoughts and support. It is so appreciated. I have so much love for you.’
Passengers were said to be ‘concerned’ about the star, who was seen being escorted to a seated area ahead of his flight, with onlookers reporting to The Mirror newspaper that he appeared ‘intoxicated’.
