In ‘Through the Trees’, actress Frances Lefebure, pregnant at the time, is candid about the miscarriage she had. “I started this new pregnancy with anxiety.”
Today, the 35-year-old actress has been mom to Saul, the son she had with Boris Van Severen, for over six months. But the pregnancy itself was not stress-free. “I started this pregnancy with anxiety,” says Lefebure during her three days in the forest Through the trees. “I had to write down every step.”
The solo trip was tough at times. The actress was heavily pregnant with Saul at the time and the idea of being all alone in a forest for several days aroused a lot of resistance. Lefebure has had a hard time being alone since she was a child, she says. It helps to write in a book. “My mom also did that for me and it was such a great gift,” she said. “Especially because she is no longer here.”
Lefebure talks candidly about the loss of her mother when she was seventeen years old. “Her last word was: ‘two’. I always remembered that in the sense that there are two sides to everything. There is no right answer to anything.”
