Music as a Healing Tool

Shakira's musical journey also played a crucial role in her healing. In an October cover story with GQ Spain, she discussed how her first album in seven years, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" (Women Don't Cry Anymore), helped her begin the process of mourning.She explained, "For many months after my separation I had been silent, trying to begin my mourning, but I couldn't really begin to grieve until I started writing music. It was my way of healing. And it continues to be. Grief is a process that is not linear. It is full of peaks and valleys."Through her music, Shakira was able to express her emotions and find a way to heal. It became a form of therapy for her, allowing her to process her feelings and move forward.Shakira and Piqué were together for 11 years before their highly publicized split in 2022. This split was followed by cheating rumors that surfaced a year later, adding to the emotional turmoil she faced. The pair share two children, sons Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9. The pain of the separation was profound, as she described, "The suffering I felt was probably the greatest I had ever experienced in my entire life, and it kept me from functioning at times. It felt like someone had stabbed a hole in my chest. And the sensation was so real, almost physical. I physically felt like I had a hole in my chest and that people could see through me."Despite the hardships, Shakira is slowly finding her way back to a place of healing and strength. Her story serves as a reminder of the power of support and the healing potential of music.
