VIDEO PHOTOS Courtney Stodden shaves her head as tribute to baby she lost to miscarriage
Courtney Stodden has been having a very difficult time dealing with the loss of her unborn child to a miscarriage last month. After penning an emotional letter to her “precious angel” a week and a half ago, Courtney posted a video last night announcing she planned to “give back to [her] angel” with the “symbolic gesture” of shaving off her head — which she followed through with and shared pictures of.
Here is the video announcing her plans followed by a transcript of her message:

Hi everyone. As you all know, I recently suffered a miscarriage, and it’s had a huge impact on me emotionally. I’ve been thinking, and I have decided that I want to give back to my angel with a symbolic gesture — and that, to me, is shaving my hair off because I want to step into this new chapter in my life fresh, and with a new… So, I wanted to share it with you because you are a huge support system to me, and I love you — all of you — so much. So again, thank you for your support, and here we go.
Courtney returned a few hours later and shared photos of her new look, the first of which she captioned “New Chapter:”
She followed that with this pretty kitty pin-up shot along with the tweet: “Free feline ? #shavedhead #photography #matthewpaul”
Judging from a later tweet, it seems Courtney’s gesture helped:
Yes my head is shaved and I feel free

That message is a dramatic change of mood from this weekend, when Courtney revealed that her anxiety stemming from her loss had made her lose her appetite completely:
Having trouble eating. Seriously can't take a bite out of even a piece of bread without feeling like I'm gonna get sick ? #anxiety

As always, we wish Courtney the best. We hate to see her trademark blonde hair gone, but if it helps her emotional well being, then of course we support the trim 100%! Besides, I am guessing Courtney will be putting on quite the wig show over the next few months.
