Maya Vander suffered a devastating stillbirth six months ago.

And now the 40-year-old Selling Sunset actress has told her Instagram followers that she is still healing from the loss, but staying active really helps her cope with the pain.

'Everyone handles loss in their own way, but for me I find the key is to stay busy,' the beauty said. 'A healthy distraction always keeps me going.'

And she gave suggestions to women who have been through similar tragedies.

Vander said it helps to 'get to work, socialize with people, get your body moving (endorphins) and talk to someone' if one is suffering from grief.
