How Work Helped Me Process My Father’s De@th — Shine Rosman Opens Up

Actress Shine Rosman has shared how she managed to cope with the painful loss of her father.

Speaking as a guest on the Open Up podcast hosted by Amanda Dara, Shine revealed that immersing herself in work helped her channel her emotions and find strength during one of the toughest periods of her life.

In her words, “I was able to work away a lot of emotions. People say time heals; I don’t think it does.”

Reflecting on those who continue to inspire her, the To Kill A Monkey actress described her parents as her biggest role models.

She said, “The more I’ve advanced in life, the more I’ve realised that my parents have always been my true role models. My mum and dad set such wonderful examples for me that I don’t desperately desire to be anybody but them.

“Maybe I just want to be a better version of them, a healthier version, because many of our parents had to deal with a lot of toxicity from their own upbringing, which they unknowingly passed down. One has to give them grace for that. But I truly admire my parents and strive every day to become a better version of them. My role models are my parents.”

Speaking on how she stays grounded amid public expectations and pressure, Rosman highlighted the importance of authenticity and maintaining a solid support system.



“By being myself. The expectations people have of you can easily creep into your life and start to affect how you think. But surrounding yourself with the right people makes a big difference. My best friends are my sisters. Outside of my family, I probably have about five true friends, people who are genuinely my friends and whom I hold very dearly,” she added.
