"As parents, we have to be strong for our kids. But sometimes, you want to break down and cry (hidden in the bathroom or closet is usually best. Today, I chose [the] hospital bathroom)," wrote the actress. 

However, she continued that "hard times show you truly what matters and is important in life and how much we have to be grateful for."
