Sending love.

Bachelor Nation fans got to know and love Daisy Kent as she searched for love on Season 28 of “The Bachelor.”

After her time on the show, Daisy rekindled her romance with her college sweetheart, Thor Herbst, and the two moved into a brand-new home they built together in Las Vegas before officially getting engaged last year.

While on the show, Daisy opened up about her hearing loss journey and navigating life with a cochlear implant and has continued to share about her experience ever since. 

This week, the Bachelor Nation star opened up with her followers and discussed how she stays positive while walking through difficult seasons. 

“I get a lot of DMs. I reply to as many as I can before I get overwhelmed. It’s a good feeling, people wanting to talk to you because they relate and find comfort in you, in your story,” she said while sharing the questions she usually receives: “How are you so happy? How did you get through it? How can you be optimistic? How can did you stay positive? So if I haven’t got the chance to reply to you I’d say this. I put myself in your shoes, the shoes I feel I once walked in. Although they may be different sizes, different styles, different brands from different places. These shoes carry sadness and we both know there’s a hurt engraved in us so deep that feels like no one will ever understand.”

Daisy explained that healing is not linear and sometimes can be really difficult. But sometimes it’s necessary to “learn to walk in sadness.”

“It might take a day, a month, a year, maybe even five. There’s no set timeline to healing,” she said. “‘It gets better’ might sound impossible, it probably does. You’re learning things some people never will, you’re growing in ways you didn’t know. Look inward and reflect. Pray, visualize, meditate. Don’t give up. What I thought was the end, was just the beginning. I look back to those moments & wish I could go hug her and remove that big, little feeling inside. But then I look at her now & realize that big, little feeling created the best parts of her.”

Daisy ended her post with a note of encouragement for those going through a hard season. 

“Right now my shoes might look shiny, fancy, pretty, but they get worn out. I still walk in those shoes. But I’ve learned, I’d rather have those shoes because they mean I’m alive, I’m human, and I have enough love & compassion to feel the deepest parts. Happy #cochlearimplantawareness day 💛🦻🏻I’ll never be able to put into words the emotions behind the health issues I went thru. But I can honestly say I’m thankful for it all. It gets better, I promise. 💛”
