Shailene Woodley shared a quote about “grief” on Wednesday after learning of her split from Aaron Rodgers.
“‘Sadness that we express out loud for someone we’ve lost, or a country or homeland we’ve lost, is in itself the highest praise we could ever give them,’ says writer Martí Prechtel ‘ reads the excerpt from Woodley’s Instagram story.
“‘Grief is praise, for it is love’s natural way of honoring what it misses.'”
The author of the post further analyzes Prechtel’s quote, adding that “Seeing grief in this way helps us respect what we are going through instead of sinking into shame and discouragement on top of the pain we already feel. “
The “Big Little Lies” star, 30, and the Green Bay Packers quarterback, 38, reportedly called off their engagement in February after nearly two years together, but the couple seemed to end the rumors by going public together.
A spy photographed the duo shopping at the celebrity-loved Erewhon market, where they also had breakfast. A few weeks after that, the NFL MVP and Woodley attended his teammate David Bakhtiari’s wedding.
“They held hands as they walked the hotel grounds,” a source told E! News in March. “They walked hand in hand across the lawn to get to the wedding.”
