Amie Rohan has had a lot of sadness in her life.
And the former AFL WAG, who was married to Geelong Cats forward Gary Rohan for four years, has shared a meditation on suffering that has helped her.
In a post on Instagram, Amie, who lost her daughter in 2018, posted wise words from writer Allyson Dinneen.
“I’ve been wanting to share this piece of writing from @notesfromyourtherapist for a while and after the very busy and fulfilling month we’ve had, I thought this would be the perfect time,” she said.
“It’s the perfect summary of everything I could ever want to say to anyone trying to navigate the complicated mess that is ‘grief.’

“Whether it’s the grief of losing someone close to you or the grief of a breakup—if you’re currently in the eye of the storm of it all, remember this: I had no idea grief would change so much. would bring about in me.
“I grieve the person I once was, but I’m learning to embrace the new version of who I’m becoming.
“The newer version looks at life through a different lens, loves a little deeper and sees how fleeting life really is. It completely changes the trajectory of your life and everything you ever knew.”
The note read in part: ‘When people say “when are you going to get over it” my answer is I hope never. Nothing has shaped my life more around life and who and what is more important to me than the reality of how short it all is.”

Rohan previously divided public opinion after comparing her heartbreaking divorce from her childhood sweetheart to the death of their first daughter just five hours after her birth.
She revealed that she was overcome with grief after their divorce.
“The days after the breakup of my marriage were some of the hardest days of my life, harder than when we lost Willow,” she told the Move Your Mind podcast.
“But I still got out of bed every day and faced whatever the day brought.”

Rohan’s comments shocked some, who thought there could be “nothing worse than losing a child.”
“I’m not sure I’d feel the same way,” one person said after hearing her comparison.
“Stupid thing to say…nothing worse than losing a child.”
The former couple share two daughters together, but lost their baby Willow in 2018 when Rohan gave birth to twins.
Willow suffered a fatal neural tube defect and could not be saved, while her sister Bella survived after spending three weeks in intensive care.
