OHMYGOSSIP — Malin Andersson attempted to take her own life after she “hit rock bottom” following the death of her daughter.
The ‘Love Island’ star tragically lost both her mother, Consy-Gloria, 65, to stomach cancer in November 2017 and her newborn baby, Consy – who was born seven weeks prematurely – within 14 months of each other, and afterwards she “tried to overdose” on painkillers before waking up in A&E.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, she said: “I lost essentially all the love I ever had in my life in one hit. I was at my lowest point. There was nothing else I could do so I just surrendered.
“I hit rock bottom. I didn’t want to be here any more and tried to overdose by taking lots of painkillers. Then I woke up in A&E. I felt like I didn’t have a purpose, I felt like there was no point in me existing.”
Now, the 28-year-old reality star has used her pain to help grow stronger for the sake of her mum and daughter’s memories.
She explained: “I realise now you have to be cracked open with pain in order for the light to shine through you. The toughest souls go through it at the darkest times. I had to learn the hard way to be independent and give myself the love that I deserve. Mother’s Day for me is just like any other day.
“Don’t get me wrong – when I go into Tesco and see all the cards, I pretend that they are not there. But I am still kind to myself.
“For me it is a double whammy because I lost my mum and my daughter very close to each other. But I can either choose to be depressed or I can move forward in life. I make sure I carry on and do something positive with it for the sake of my mum and daughter.”
Malin will spend this Mother’s Day (14.03.21) visiting her four-week-old baby’s grave and reflect on how far she has come since she hit rock bottom.
She added: “I will be giving myself all the time in the world. I will go to my daughter’s grave and I will sit there for a bit. I won’t feel sorrow. I will speak to her and say, ‘Look how far I have come and look at what I am doing now’.
“But I know, until I have my own family, any sort of occasion will be difficult. I just live for the hope that one day I will have a family of my own. Hope gives me a purpose because that means I am looking towards the future – and that is what helps me get up every morning.”
