Brittany Higgins shares her grief after a close family member passes away
Brittany Higgins is mourning the passing of her grandmother, just weeks after announcing she was pregnant with her first child.
Mrs Higgins, who now lives in France, announced the heartbreaking news on Instagram on Thursday evening.
“I’m dealing with the loss of the strongest woman I’ve ever known. I love you and miss you already grandma x,” she wrote alongside a series of photos.
The heartfelt message prompted a response from her mother Kelly.
“She loved you and was so proud of you,” she wrote.
“It was so special that she got to celebrate your wedding and be excited about the news of your great grandchild. She was a remarkable woman who taught us truth and strength. I love you, honey.”

Ms Higgins and her new husband David Sharaz made their first public appearance in France earlier this week as her defamation trial against her former boss, Senator Linda Reynolds, began in Perth.
The couple were spotted in Paris as they headed to the Australian Embassy to sign an oath of office after a three-hour train journey.
Ms Higgins, who announced her pregnancy last month, was spotted clutching her baby bump as the couple walked into the Australian Embassy.
The couple returned to Australia in June for their wedding, which took place at one of Australia’s most exclusive and elegant wedding venues, The Valley Estate on the Gold Coast.
A month later, they announced that they were expecting their first child.
“We are so excited to welcome a new member to our little family,” Ms. Higgins wrote.
“Your parents are already obsessed with you and you’re not even there yet.”
More to come.
