Powering through. Maya Vander is in the “healing process” six months after delivering her stillborn son.“I have women (who might be going through something similar) ask me how I’m doing after my stillbirth & pregnancy loss and how I’m able to continue pushing forward with my daily life,” the Selling Sunset star captioned an Instagram post shared on Thursday, June 16. “Everyone handles loss in their own way, but for me I find the key is to stay busy – a healthy distraction always keeps me going.”Vander’s “advice” for those dealing with similar experiences was to “get to work” and “socialize with people,” also urging her followers to “get your body moving” and “talk to someone” to help ease through the aftermath of grief.“I know the pain of loss won’t heal overnight, but today is a great day to begin or continue furthering the healing process,” Vander, who shares son Aiden, 3, and daughter Elle, 2, with husband David Miller, concluded.The Netflix star revealed via Instagram in December 2021 that she suffered a stillbirth after sharing the news of her pregnancy that July. “I always heard of it but never imagined I’ll be part of the statistics,” she wrote at the time.The real estate agent shared more details of the tragedy during the season 5 Selling Sunset reunion, which dropped on Netflix on May 6. “I was 38 weeks and apparently it was a freak accident.

We got the autopsy report about a month ago,” she shared with host Tan France. “It was just a bad accident with [the umbilical] cord mixed with some swallowed placenta.

But I’m doing much better. And, you know, I have my husband. He’s amazing. My kids are great. They, you know, keep me going and I have work and I’m busy, so I don’t have time to sit and cry all day long.”As
