She penned: ‘I feel it’s important to feel your emotions, understand them, let them out and experience them.

‘I like to think that whatever that may happen to me has happened for a reason. That I’m a vessel. So I can inspire and help those who have struggled too.

‘I haven’t opened up too much about my struggles because I have always still been dealing with them. I wanted to get to a strong place first to talk on them.’

Stripping off: Demi also shared a video of herself skinny dipping and a naked snap in which she reflected on living in the moment

Demi explained: ‘From dealing with abuse as a child, to going through bullying at school, getting hurt by relationships that you never thought you would of and dealing with major grief, losing two people I loved the most.

‘To this day, I’m still trying to let all of that go but I’m acknowledging that all of that shaped me into who I am today.’

Demi concluded her statements with: ‘So here’s to picking yourself up, having faith in all that’s to come, remembering 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 hurt. We only knew love.’

Demi previously discussed losing both her parents seven months apart, after spending years caring for her mother.

The Instagram model explained how their deaths made her ‘grow up really fast,’ as she opened up about dealing with grief during the recording of her PrettyLittleThing podcast episode.

Demi said: ‘I’ve lost both of my parents, my dad cancer and my mum had a heart attack which caused a stroke when I was 17 and I was left as her carer as she was left disabled.

‘Then my dad passed away with cancer and then my mum then sadly passed away 7 months after him with a stomach infection, and it just made me grow up really fast and be really really strong about things.

‘And I think if I can inspire people by talking about grief, then you know if they can relate to me and they can understand it a little bit and I can help them then that’s important to me.

After experiencing the loss of both of her parents, Demi admitted: ‘I’ve gone through a lot, so I can talk on it.

‘I feel like nothing can really affect me now, nothing can really make me feel a certain way – I’ve gone through it all.’

Discussing how she copes with the loss of loved ones, she said: ‘It’s just part of life’s plan and you’ve got to be strong about it,’ adding: ‘I couldn’t have prayed for better friends.’
