Tom Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, has been through a lot lately, enough to shatter any human being. Just a year and a few months after separating from the father of her kids in October 2022, she faced another heartbreaking episode in her life when she lost her 75-year-old mother. Despite these tragedies, she remains a strong woman, as always.
Losing your loved ones hurts on a whole new level, and it’s clear from the Brazilian supermodel’s statements on her mother’s one-month death anniversary that they share a very close bond. However, the 43-year-old is triumphant in her coping abilities as she embraced the changes with resilience and faith. Let’s delve into her secret of staying positive no matter what heartbreaks life could bring.

In her recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Gisele Bündchen began with how she stays collected by starting her day by devoting herself some time in the morning to her “asana” (stretches) and meditation. Reflecting on the challenging phases she’s been experiencing lately, she was asked how she stays positive amidst distress and anguish. She replied, “To live in a state of gratitude is like a protection in your life.”
Gisele Bündchen has always been optimistic about life, looking at the best side of everything. Her strong character and positive mindset are revealed when she says, “I believe we are here because we all have something to learn and to evolve and to grow.” Being married to the NFL legend for 13 years under constant public scrutiny, having two kids, and undergoing a widely publicized divorce due to a stressed relationship between them can tear anyone apart. She added in her interview, “When I look back, the biggest, most challenging experiences in my life were all happening for me. They showed me that I was stronger than I thought I was.” We never know our capabilities till we experience the most trying scenarios ourselves, just as Bündchen did with her divorce and her mother’s death.

Everything in life is constantly changing, and nothing is permanent. As Bundchen herself said about change, “I think it’s the one thing that we have in our lives that’s constant. The only time something is fixed is when you die.” No matter what tribulations we face, life goes on, and as long as there’s breath left in us, we can only accept what can’t be reversed and adapt to the change positively.
