“To this day I try to let go of all that, but I recognize that all of this has shaped me into who I am today.”
Demi concluded her statements with, “So here you have to pick yourself up, have faith in all that is to come, remember your core and your divine essence.
“Before life happened, we were innocent babies in a hopeful world. We knew no stress and we knew no pain. We only knew love.’
Demi previously talked about the loss of both her parents, seven months apart, after taking care of her mother for years.

Heartache: The star previously revealed how she had to ‘grow up’ from an early age after her mother was disabled after a heart attack
Demi said: ‘I lost both my parents, my father cancer and my mother had a heart attack that caused a stroke when I was 17 and I was left as her carer because she was left disabled.
“Then my father died of cancer and then my mother sadly died 7 months after him with a stomach infection, and it made me grow up really fast and be really really strong at things.
“And I think if I can inspire people by talking about grief, you know that if they can identify with me and they can understand a little bit and I can help them, that’s important to me.
After going through the loss of both her parents, Demi admitted, “I’ve been through a lot, so I can talk about it.
“I feel like nothing can really affect me right now, nothing can really make me feel a certain way — I’ve been through it all.”
Discussing how she copes with the loss of loved ones, she said, “It’s just part of the life plan and you have to be strong at it,” adding, “I couldn’t have prayed for better friends.”
