"Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" alum Gabrielle Ruiz revealed to followers over the weekend that she and husband Philip Pisanchyn suffered a miscarriage last month.

"This morning at 3:20am, I had a miscarriage. When our OB-GYN gave us the news, I went through all the emotions; shocked, numb, confused, practical, overwhelmed, scared, sad, sarcastic, relieved, frustrated, even the thought, 'Oh, this couldn’t be happening to US.' " the actress, 34, wrote in a heartbreaking post, clarifying that it happened on Oct. 15, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.

"The stories you all shared gave me strength, understanding and the feeling that I truly wasn’t alone and that this all wasn’t in any way my fault," she added.

The actress, who also has appeared on "Modern Family" and "Orange is the New Black," thanked Pisanchyn, her husband of three years, for his support.

"Every step, every conversation, every answer to every one of my questions was overwhelming and daunting. Haunting, even," Ruiz continued. "And every moment, Philip was there. Philip is a great husband, but he’s even a greater life-partner. He was so gentle and caring and held me when I cried. I truly thank God for bringing him into my life. I also thank God for really strong prescribed Ibuprofen."

Ruiz lamented a lack of opening up about miscarriages "as much as we should." She wrote that she hopes her transparency would help others realize they weren't alone.

"Our bodies are so much smarter than we are," she concluded. "Our bodies know when something isn’t right and our body takes care of us and our future. Our God knows the desires of our hearts and His plan is always on time. Therefore, if you’re reading this and you got the miscarriage talk or if you’re anxious about starting a family, know that this is a common possibility, it’s no one’s fault, and it’s all going to truly be okay. We truly don’t know how brave our bodies and hearts are until we prevail in the moment, tears and all."
