"(We) try to explain things well and answer every question imaginable in a beautiful, spiritual but literal way," she wrote. "I know this is a weird post but I just wanted to share these to always remember my incredibly empathetic little mini. life is infinitely better with her in it. I miss u, jack. we miss you a lot."

The model and author has previously opened up about the events that led to the stillbirth of her son. She explained in a heartbreaking personal essay on Medium that her pregnancy complications were caused by a partial placenta abruption.

"After a couple nights at the hospital, my doctor told me exactly what I knew was coming — it was time to say goodbye. He just wouldn’t survive this, and if it went on any longer, I might not either," she wrote.

Teigen has said they plan to put Jack's ashes "into the soil of a tree in our new home, the one we got with his room in mind."
