She recently wrote an Instagram post where she opened up about her emotional and physical healing process.

“As I look at my bruised body because of my recent procedure I can’t help but associate physical healing with emotional healing ❤️‍🩹 As badly as I want my healing process to be over I realise that HEALING really is a process that should not be rushed both physically and emotionally.

“Our physical scars and bruises are proof of a horrible ordeal that we endured but because we see them physically and so as other people, we tend to nurse them more and allow nature to take its course while we also apply necessary measures to speed up our healing like taking of pain meds or gently massaging the affected area.”
