In a heartfelt year-end message, Quebec entrepreneur and creator Elisabeth Rioux revealed she experienced a miscarriage earlier in 2025 — a loss she kept private for months. Her statement reflects on grief, resilience and how the year unexpectedly evolved into one of renewed love and meaning.
Elisabeth Rioux shared that 2025 began with a loss she hadn’t spoken about publicly: an unplanned pregnancy that ended in miscarriage. In her message, she describes how the experience became the “silent starting point” of her year — one marked by numbness, isolation and the difficulty of moving forward without closure.
The announcement resonated widely, touching on a reality many experience but rarely discuss openly. By choosing to speak now — nearly a year later — Rioux frames the moment not as a conclusion, but as an acknowledgment of what shaped her year in the shadows.
Rioux explains that, in the months that followed, she looked for ways to “feel alive” again — describing a skydive in February as something she never thought she would do, but felt compelled to try. At the same time, she highlights the contrast of her year: her daughter growing up and starting school, professional momentum, and an unexpected new relationship.
Her reflection suggests a shift many people recognize after grief: life continues, not because the loss disappears, but because it transforms how everything else is felt. “The loss didn’t destroy me,” she writes. “It changed me.”
The post closes as she looks ahead to the anniversary of the pregnancy — not with final answers, but with a quiet acceptance that meaning can exist even without resolution. For Rioux, the message appears to be less about sharing details and more about naming what was carried privately throughout the year.
In doing so, she adds her voice to a broader conversation around miscarriage and grief — one still surrounded by stigma — and offers a reminder that personal milestones don’t always align with what audiences see online.
