Reality TV star Lauren Goodger struggled with the loss of her daughter and didn't feel like being present.

Lauren Goodger's life was full of ups and downs during her time on the popular reality show, The Only Way Is Essex. But even after the show ended, her struggles continued to affect her. In 2022, the 37-year-old was faced with the devastating loss of her second daughter, Lorena, whom she shared with her ex, Charles Drury. To make matters worse, Charles was charged with assaulting Lauren and engaging in controlling and coercive behavior at Lorena's funeral, as reported by the Metropolitan Police.

However, last month, the 26-year-old was cleared of the charges after Lauren withdrew her support for the prosecution. The loss of her daughter and the stress of the legal proceedings took a toll on Lauren's mental health. She admitted that she didn't want to be alive anymore and that she was struggling to cope. "You'll never get over it, you never move on but you learn to live and heal," she told MailOnline.

Lauren has been open about her struggles with mental health and how the loss of her daughter affected her. She shared that she just didn't want to be here anymore and that the only thing keeping her going was being a mother to her two-year-old daughter, Larose, who she shares with Charles. "You would never be able to tell someone the feeling of losing your own child," she said, adding that it changes you as a person and leaves a heartache every day.

In addition to the loss of her daughter, Lauren also had to deal with the death of her ex-boyfriend, Jake McLean, who was killed in a car crash while on holiday in Turkey. The stress of all these events caused her to lose nearly three stone in weight. She admitted that she wasn't eating and felt alone, despite having people around her for support.
