Singer Lily Allen says she could not believe how harsh people could get when she was vulnerable after suffering miscarriage in 2010.

Allen, 28, who has 23-month-old Ethel and 10-month-old Marnie with husband Sam Cooper, lost her first baby when she was six months pregnant after she became ill with a viral infection, reported Contactmusic.

"I couldn't get my head round how people could be so horrible. But I learned pretty quickly that I was very vulnerable, and this (the internet) wasn't the place to spend my time. I still think about it 25 times a day," Allen said.

The singer is grateful to have the support of her husband during the tragic period.
 

"Before this, before what happened to Sam and I, I was quite vocal. I complained about a lot of things. I feel incredibly lucky that I was able to grieve with someone I loved," she said.

"There are women who have to deal with this on their own, so even though it was tragic, I knew where I was in the world and the people who were important to me and what mattered, and what didn't," she added.
