Lydia Plath Builds Shadow Box to Honor Her First Child After Miscarriage: 'Hard But Really Healing'

Lydia Plath is finding her own way through grief. The Welcome to Plathville star, 22, shared the process on Instagram on Saturday, October 31, of making a shadow box to remember her first child after a miscarriage. The frame holds handwritten letters, baby booties, beads, stickers and a wooden cross, along with the positive pregnancy test she teared up while gluing into place.

The loss is part of a tough month for Lydia and her husband, Zac Wyse, who married in February 2025. The couple announced the pregnancy loss earlier in October, and Lydia later revealed that she had been hospitalized with hemorrhaging and received an emergency D&C and a blood transfusion. In her posts, she explained that she wanted to make something to honor and remember their first child, adding that it was hard but really healing to bring it all together.

For many young listeners, this story touches on something close to home. Pregnancy loss is often kept quiet, and Lydia choosing to share both the physical toll and her healing ritual has opened a bigger conversation about how people memorialize a child they never got to hold.
