In the selfie video, Renee explained that she was recording it on October 12 which happened to be her son's second birthday.
Renee posted the series of candid videos during a viral challenge that she had previously started which is a 14 day meditation challenge and explained how the self-care practice helped her through this difficult time.

She got emotional explaining that she started meditation when she got pregnant with her son and turned to it during her recent trauma.
'Matthew and I have been so intentionally trying to get pregnant,' Renee continued.
'I'm trying to call in my child that I know is waiting for us.'
'And I want to just open my life and my arms to this human. And so on our second cycle of calling this child in, we got pregnant. And it was among just such extraordinary intention and love.'

Hopeful: Matthew and Renee had been 'intentionally' trying to conceive a second child and were over the moon when they found out they were pregnant
The actress reflected on her first pregnancy with her son Revel and said that she and her husband 'wanted to just keep it so between us.'
The couple kept the pregnancy 'secretive' but this time around she felt like she wanted to be more of an open book.
'I miscarried,' Renee explained.
'I found out [I was pregnant] at four weeks and began the cycle of miscarriage on my sixth week, and that's a whole conversation that I would love to have but the point of today is to tell you how meditation helped guide me through this journey and this experience.'
Meditation, she said, helped her 'sit down with [herself]' and 'surrender.'
'I miscarried,' Renee explained.

In looking back at her experience, Renee said she and Matthew found themselves ruminating on whether they could have done things differently - like having a new masseuse - that could have led to a better outcome.
'I'm just not gonna choose to go there,' Renee decided.
The actress detailed the process and said she was bed ridden for a few day but remained calm and collected thanks to her meditation practice.
'Right now, meditation is for me to connect to presence, connect to self, and to give my body gratitude and grace and to, honestly, come back to trusting,' she continued.

'Women, I want you to know that I feel you.
And, God, you are goddesses. And we all deserve so much acknowledgment and love and maditationpro.hpage.com support and encouragement.'
'That's what I'm here to help us accomplish through sharing my story, my vulnerability, and just to say that I see you.
I see you and I feel you, and we are Members Only.
'I don't want people to feel sorry for me. I don't feel sorry for myself, and to go through these experiences and to get pregnant and to be alive … to be alive is an accomplishment,' she said.

Ultimately, Renee said that she hopes other women going through the same thing can disconnect from 'the shame' that society has placed on miscarriages.
Matthew, meanwhile, hasn't addressed their family's loss but did take to social media to wish his 'favorite new best friend' (his son Revel) a happy birthday.
The American Horror Story star wrote: 'You are the greatest gift I've ever received and I'm so thankful for your warrior Mama, @reneemmorrison, for delivering you to the world 2 years ago today.
You've taught me more about myself than I ever thought possible. Keep shining your beautiful light, my sweet Revel James!'
