James and his wife Kimberley Van Der Beek recently shared their emotional toll due to miscarriages, which almost claimed Kimberley's life, as she had experienced pregnancy losses twice within two years.

Kimberley, 39, almost lost her life when she suffered a fourth miscarriage in November 2019 and the fifth in June 2020, but all thanks to people who donated blood, she was revived through blood transfusions.

The couple opened up about the grief that comes from such an experience. James noted that he passed through a feeling of shock, helplessness, and fear from witnessing his wife's struggles.

Kimberley also acknowledged that the grief that comes from such an experience comes in waves, and in one moment, one could be fine, and the next, the grief wants to wash over the person.
