Valerie Bertinelli had recently told her fans on Instagram about the end of one era and the beginning of a new one, which contained some really heartbreaking news.
After Food Network had canceled Valerie’s Home Cooking last summer, she had to make the heartbreaking announcement in a video about that the 14th season was the last of them.
She even admitted that saying goodbye was not easy but she was grateful for the opportunity to pass on her passion for cooking to so many seasons.
In the comments, other Food Network star, Ree Drummond, also known as The Pioneer Woman, voiced her advocacy and frustration.
Outside of work, Bertinelli has been vocal about her personal problems and utilized social media for connectives as well as rehabilitation. She openly talked about the emotional and psychological abuse she had in a former relationship on a separate post.
She spoke about a “hidden bruise” – a deep internal sore caused by continuous psychological agony – which was provoked by anything as simple as donning jeans. Countless of her followers had so much resonance in her comments, which shed a light on the often-hidden injury of survivors.
Previously, Bertinelli touched on the trauma she endured during her marriage to Tom Vitale, including the damage that had been done by abusive texting, and the damage it caused her sense of value.
Other people who experience similar problems have drawn inspiration from her candor regarding treatment, sobriety, and healing as a continuous process. She emphasized how important it is to set boundaries, allowing herself to reside in the depths of her feeling and protect her fledging joy.
In a levity, she published a TikTok video celebrating the end of “Dry January” with hopes for more prohibition in the near future. As part of her bigger journey towards both physical and mental restoration, she also brought her audience to learn about Rolfing, a form of bodywork therapy.
Besides making her approachable, her openness and willingness to share the reality of her experience has prepared ground for communication, mutual healing and support.
Updates from Valerie Bertinelli are a reminder to viewers that the ending of a chapter does not mean that it is over, this applies to cherished cooking programs or tragedies such as a traumatizing relationship, the story is often better and truer than ever.
