Lauren’s eldest daughter Larose turned one two weeks later, and the family buried Lorena on August 5.
Drury, 25, was later arrested over an alleged assault on the ex reality star.
Lauren, 34, suffered further heartache when ex boyfriend Jack McLean died in a car crash and she attended his funeral on Tuesday.
She said her ordeal has shown her who is important in her life as she asked her late daughter Lorena to guide her.
She penned: “Just want to say thank you to everyone for all the love & support in this horrendous terrible whirlwind in my life the last few weeks! I do read your messages thank you.
“During this traumatic time I’ve lost but I’ve also gained some values in this awful heartbroken time … some new friends and become closer to my current ones & some family ..it really has shown me who is meant to be in my life and I love each and every one one of you thank you .. I only have a few and that’s all I need and it’s taught me some life long lessons however hard it’s been.
“Asked Lorena when I had her at home the night before her funeral ‘please guide me please let my life, lead the path it’s meant to be & give me strength & courage’ and a lot changed instantly and I trust her.
“She is making my new path thank you Lorena I love you and I know you’re with me always and I know you’ve cleared out and made way for what’s meant to be.”

“Very emotional evening for Mummy, but can’t wait to see my big girl in the morning.”
Lauren has spoken out about her recent tragedy and revealed how Lorena’s umbilical cord is thought to have been knotted twice in a “rare” turn of events which led to her death.

Knots in the cord can restrict blood flow and oxygen to the baby, and put them at risk of serious harm or in severe cases, stillbirth.
Lauren told New magazine: “No one knew about the knots in the cord, all we’ve been told is that it’s very uncommon to have two knots.
“I was a low-risk pregnancy. There was no sign of any problems. A few hours before she was born, she was going to be absolutely fine, that’s what it is so heartbreaking.”

Lauren also explained that she still “has a bit of a bump” which often has sometimes tricked into thinking her baby girl is “still there”.
“I’ve still got a bit of a bump, this one’s not shifting,” she explained of her recovering body after the traumatic birth of baby Lorena.
“It sometimes feels like she’s still there, it’s weird. My body feels like it’s unsettled, like it’s missing a newborn.”
