Shakira’s latest album,Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (which translates toWomen No Longer Cry),played a crucial role in helping her overcome her grief.
“It wasn’t easy to recognize all the vulnerability I was feeling at the time I wrote this album, and then lay it bare,” she said. “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.”
The singer added, “It was my way of healing. And it continues to be. Grief is not a linear process; it’s full of peaks and valleys.”

From gratitude for their many memories to heartbreak over Piqué’s actions,Shakirashared that her tracks showcase how her perspective on love has changed.
“It’s not the same,” she said. “The love of a partner disappointed me. It affected my idiosyncrasy. It’s inevitable, at least for the moment, that I have lost trust in the other. The healing process is long.”

According toThe News, she also revealed that while seeingPiquéwith his new girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti, was painful, she feels as though her life had improved after the split.

Piqué commented on the breakup during an interview with CNN en Español on October 18,translated from Spanish: “In the end, the truth or what happens or occurs is not told in the way it was. I cannot control this.
Comments about the singer ranged from supportive to degrading in response to her healing process
One person called her a “great diva,” saying, “[She] has overcome the most painful thing for a woman betrayal, but could also bring more shine to her career, lessons for all women, never give up, we are light for our children…”
“She has the right to behave and have a good time because she’s single!!!” said another.
Others, however, were not as encouraging.
“Geez, get a grip and move on,” wrote someone. “He’s started a whole new life already and never looked back. It’s time you do the same. Talk about clinging to the past.”
