"She was so many things. She was a mother, a friend, an artist, A poet, a warrior, a f**king Instagram lover, a complex human being, a beautiful, beautiful sensitive soul," Philipps wrote. "She was my very first mom friend. I met her when we were both like 9 weeks pregnant with our kids. Our kids are still such good friends. Today we held a memorial for her at my house and did a kundalini prayer and had a sound bath and told stories and the kids did art and made flower crowns and necklaces and we drank rose and all the things she would have loved."

Philipps -- who shares two daughters, 8-year-old Birdie and 3-year-old Cricket, with husband Marc Silverstein -- concluded her heartfelt post with a message of hope and help.

"I honestly don't know what any of this means or if we are Sims or if there's a god or what but I know that people matter. People matter. And if you feel like you don't right now, please know that you do. I know you do," she wrote. "Call someone. Reach out. I miss my friend. Her son will miss her forever."

"I love you Jennah. Be at peace," Philipps concluded.
