Taking to her social media platforms, Lupita shared how therapy and a whole lot of crying was helping her find her footing and wash out the immense pain that had enveloped her.

 
 

Lupita highlighted she was sharing this as for the first time in a while she was feeling grateful, something she knows one ought not to take for granted.

"Today I feel grateful. Grateful for peace: it is not guaranteed, grateful for the truth: even when it has hurt, grateful for tears: they have washed away so much pain, grateful for therapy: it has kept me sane," the first part of her lengthy post read.

The 40 year actress went on to give her tribe of supportive and loving friends and family their flowers for being there for her wholly as she navigated this path and dealt with her pain.

 

She thanked them for helping her focus her energy unto other things as opposed to wallowing and losing herself.

"Grateful for family: they have been so kind, grateful for friends: they have been so present, grateful for new experiences: they have shifted my energy," Lupita added.

Finishing up she took time to also praise her cat Yoyo, whom she recently adopted, for keeping her heart open and tender. Lupita also noted that even though she had experienced a low moment in her life she was still extremely grateful for all the highs and her clan of people. 

"Grateful for the ocean for being constant and ever-changing, and grateful for yoyo he has kept my heart open and tender. Through it all, I am grateful," the last of the Hollywood's star post read.
