During this difficult time, several of Vandervoort’s former costars from throughout her career shared their condolences and support. Her fellow Smallville alum Kristin Kreuk wrote, “I am so sorry, Laura.”
Her Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire costar Charles Shaughnessy could empathize, opening up about his family’s experience with pregnancy loss.
“My heart broke for you both,” he commented. “We went through the exact same thing in the fourth month. It is a devastating loss and the grief is as deep and painful as any. We had our second girl about two years later and, in a very bizarre but comforting way, the one we lost was CLEARLY present at the birth. Sending you our love.”
Meanwhile, her See for Me costar Natalie Brown also chimed in, thanking Vandervoort for raising awareness about this experience. She wrote, “I admire and thank you for sharing your journey, your heart, and your pain, for those of us who’ve been there to feel less alone. There aren’t nearly enough resources or support… thank goodness for community, for sisterhood, for YOU.”
