Alexa PenaVega is reflecting on a time in her family’s history that was very life-changing.
On the thirteenth of April, the former Spy Kids actress, who is now 36 years old, reminisced on the “most painful moment” she has ever had to go through, which was the stillbirth of her daughter Indy. One year after the tragic loss, Alexa, who is married to the musician Carlos PenaVega, posted a photo on Instagram that broke her heart. The image showed her clutching her late baby in the delivery area.
I can honestly say that this was the most excruciating experience I have ever had. In my memory, it was really difficult to take a breath. This is such a severe and excruciating ache… Where did this come from? It could not have been genuine. “Every emotion came flooding in at the same time,” she said in the caption of her poignant photo. “And yet, in spite of the devastating loss, we felt so held… so covered… a peacefulness that was so incredibly natural.” All of it was beyond our ability to control.
We had no choice but to defer everything to God. She continued by saying, “The burden was too heavy for us to carry, so He removed the burden from us and wrapped us in His peace.” All during the course of the last year, we have seen LIFE emerge from her life. Many individuals were able to recover as a result of Indy. Due to Indy, we saw the alleviation of our sadness. We saw the mending of fractured connections… She was blessed with an abundance of fruit, meaning, and purpose in her life by God.
“Our sweet girl is celebrating with Jesus today,” she wrote. “We are truly blessed.” As we continue to grieve and long for the day when we might have her in our arms, we are aware that she is waiting for us in a place that is beyond anything that we could ever conceive. 11th verse of Jeremiah,”
Additionally, on Sunday, Alexa and Carlos uploaded a combined Instagram post in which they photographed their three children holding up a picture of their deceased sister. “We wish you a happy birthday, Indy girl. 🤍 Our little world changer. Psalm 34:18,” they wrote as the caption for the post.
The actress from Sleepover and the actor from Big Time Rush, who are also parents to Rio, who is three years old, Kingston, who is five years old, and Ocean, who is eight years old, revealed on April 15, 2024, that their daughter was stillborn by posting a joint statement on their respective Instagram accounts.
“When it comes to the subject of loss, there are seldom the appropriate words to say. “After a beautiful and peaceful delivery, our daughter ‘Indy’ was born at rest,” they stated in their letter. It has been a difficult and arduous road. On the other hand, we have discovered serenity amid our suffering.
The pair proceeded by saying, “We are unable to comprehend the reasons behind the occurrence of events such as these, and it is possible that we will never obtain the answers to these questions.” “You have fundamentally altered the course of our planet, Indy Rex PenaVega. You had us relocate to a new location. We have been searching for a community, and you have provided us with it. We adore you and can’t wait to see the number of other people whose lives you alter.
Alexa provided an update on her loss on Instagram the following month, stating that she and Carlos were “actually doing really well, considering everything.” She also mentioned that she was “actually doing really well.” Despite the fact that they were going through a terrible period, the actress said that it was “really incredible to see how God has just moved through our family.” Alexa said that despite the fact that they “obviously felt a lot of pain,” they also had “an insane amount of peace.”
“It might be hard to understand unless you’ve experienced this kind of loss but I really do hope that you guys can see the crazy peace that we have, even through the pain,” Alexa said in response. And I do pray that you are able to see the extent to which God is at work. The amount of fruit that tiny Indy’s life has already produced is just astounding.
While I am aware that this is just the beginning. Not only that, but it is illogical. Things are going to continue to be challenging. Because I am aware that this is not only a… I am also aware that this season will bring about a rollercoaster of sentiments and emotions. I am aware of it. In conclusion, she said, “But I’m just going to continue to allow his peace to just completely overpower us.”
