Shakira just revealed how she dealt with her breakup from Gerard Piqué.

In the latest cover story for GQ Spain, the popstar admitted to the publication who grief is not a linear process and hoe she stayed quiet for months.

Explaining how it actually resulted in the birth of her latest album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, she told the outlet, "It wasn't easy to acknowledge all the vulnerability I was feeling at the time. For many months after my separation, I remained silent, trying to begin mourning, but I couldn’t truly start grieving until I began writing music."

The Hips Don’t Lie singer explained how it was really tough for her to recognize all of her vulnerabilities in a song and then put them together into lyrics for the entire world to hear, however that is what began Shakira’s healing process.

“It was my way of healing. And it continues to be. Grief is not a linear process; it's full of peaks and valleys," Shakira added.
