Hunter McGrady is mourning the death of her brother Tynan, whodied earlier this month, as her due date approaches.

The model, 28, opened up Friday on Instagram about grieving the loss of her younger sibling while preparing to welcome her first child with husband Brian Keys. “Pregnancy and grieving. Two things you don’t think would ever happen simultaneously. It’s the loss of one life and the gain of another,” shewrotein the caption, posting a stunning nude maternity photo.

Sheannounced earlier this monththat Tynan died at age 23 after he wasin a car accidentin Thousand Oaks on May 1. A computer engineering major at San Francisco State University, Tynan was just three weeks away from graduating.

“This one thing I was looking forward to for the last eight months, planning, imagining, dreaming about all of a sudden I felt bittersweet about,” Hunter wrote Friday. “The one thing I thought about 24 hours a day became a secondary thought because my mind has been consumed of the thoughts and memories of my brother. I found myself almost barely remembering that I was in fact pregnant, and I felt so incredibly guilty feeling that way but that’s just the truth.”

TheSports IllustratedSwimsuit Issue model shared a tribute to Tynan when she announced his death, posting throwback photos of the two of them from over the years. “The most kind, gentle, loving, beautiful, intelligent, funny human being this earth has ever known,” shewroteat the time. “If you know me you know I rave about my brother, he is and will always be the love of my life.”
