Chrissy Teigen thinks she's "emerged stronger" from the heartache of losing her son

Chrissy writes: "Without a doubt, I have just lived through a period more transformative than I could have ever imagined. We lived through personal trauma, with the loss of our unborn baby, Jack. And that turned a very private journey into personal love and acceptance of life and all of its wild, horrific, beautiful ups and downs. So many of you stood by us during that time! I cannot thank you enough."

The model - who has posted the introduction to her new book on Twitter - admitted that losing her baby was the "most painful thing" she's ever experienced.

However, Chrissy also believes that she's ultimately emerged as a "stronger" person.

Chrissy - who has Luna, five, and Miles, three, with her award-winning husband - said: "The journey changed me in ways nothing else ever could, and while it was the absolute most painful thing I have endured, I have emerged stronger and hungrier than ever. Hungry for my family, hungry for my friends, hungry for love, hungry for work, hungry to make you hungry, and just plain f****** hungry."

Chrissy previously honoured "the son we almost had" in an Instagram post in September.

She shared a photo of herself crying in a hospital bed to mark National Sons Day.

Chrissy captioned the photo: "A year ago you gave me the greatest pain I could ever imagine to show me I could survive anything, even if I didn't want to. I didn't get to take care of you but you came and went to get me to love myself and take care of myself because our bodies are precious and life is a miracle. they told me it would get easier but yeah, that hasn't started yet. mom and dad love you forever.
