Much of the public has been enamored with Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers since the two went public with their relationship and engagement last year.

The bliss seemingly ended earlier this year, though, when it was reported that the two had called out quits (and not due to Rodgers’ COVID situation).

The breakup was soon followed by rumors of a reconciliation, which were proven to be true after it was reported this past week that the stars had parted ways a second time.

Neither person has explicitly acknowledged the turn of events, though Woodley got candid about dealing with grief in a new post.

Shailene Woodley shared her thoughts on her Instagram stories (via People).

In the post, she quoted the words of author Martín Prechtel.

The sweet words give a gentle and honest take on loss on how so many of us grapple with it:

'Grief expressed out loud for someone we have lost, or a country or home we have lost, is in itself the greatest praise we could ever give them.

Grief is praise, because it is the natural way love honors what it misses.
