(USA Today) “The View” co-host revealed in an op-ed for the New York Times Friday that she lost a pregnancy weeks ago, writing, “To the end of my days I will remember this child.”
“I had a miscarriage,” writes @meghanmccain. “I loved my baby, and I always will. To the end of my days I will remember this child — and whatever children come will not obscure that.” https://t.co/ks8ur8FUK8

“My miscarriage was a horrendous experience and I would not wish it upon anyone,” she writes. “I loved my baby, and I always will.”
“I blamed my age, I blamed my personality. I blamed everything and anything a person could think of,” McCain says, including her “high-pressure, high-visibility, high-stress” job on the daytime talk show. “This, I told myself, is the reason my body is a rock-strewn wasteland in which no child may live.”
To make matters worse, McCain says her brief absence from “The View” sparked speculation about her whereabouts, taking away from her time to privately mourn.
On Saturday she thanked people on Instagram for reaching out after her piece was published. She began with a Rocky Balboa quote that reads:
“It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.”
