In a candid interview, singer-songwriter Lila Morgan shared her emotional journey through the heartache of experiencing three miscarriages within a two-year span before finally achieving a successful pregnancy. During her appearance on Morning CBS, Lila opened up about the profound loss she and her partner, Jake Collins, faced and how these experiences influenced her latest album.
Reflecting on a Challenging Year
Reflecting on 2017, Lila described it as a challenging year, marked by personal struggles including a significant fall that left her with numerous stitches on her face. “I had envisioned 2017 as the year to create new music and expand our family,” Lila, now 36, explained. “We found out we were expecting early that year, but it didn’t happen.” Lila and Jake are already parents to their son, Noah, who is now four years old. After another pregnancy early in the following year, Lila faced her second miscarriage. A few months later, she suffered through yet another loss.
Confronting Grief and Anger
Lila delved into the emotions that accompany such grief, particularly the anger she felt. “I was always hesitant to express anger,” she confessed. “We have so much to be thankful for, including my son Noah, who is simply wonderful. I thought, if we never have more children, that’s alright because he’s amazing. I have a great life—can I really be mad?” However, she did feel that anger. One profound moment came during her current pregnancy when she feared she was experiencing another miscarriage. In a moment of panic, she texted Jake, who was away, to return home. She then cuddled with Noah, allowing herself to cry and express her confusion. “Why do I keep getting pregnant if I can’t carry a baby to term? Just close the door or let me have a child,” she recalled thinking.
A Positive Turn
When she visited the doctor, expecting to hear bad news, she was instead met with positivity: everything was “great.” Now, Lila and Jake are anticipating the arrival of their new baby in the spring. The juxtaposition of her inner turmoil against the public persona she had to maintain inspired her album’s title track, “Cry Pretty.” The lyrics speak to the struggle of facing personal challenges while presenting a brave face to the world—something Lila often had to do professionally despite her private heartaches.
Channeling Experiences into Artistry
“I believe several songs on the album resonate with those experiences we went through,” she noted. “They were tough times, and it hurt immensely. But now, things are looking up.”
