a close friend. Yeah, it was pretty rough stuff.

Even though Demi previously recognized each of her lost loved ones with individually heartbreaking tributes, she sweetly closed out the year by paying another bit of remembrance. In a touching Instagram post that served as her own personal 2015 in memoriam salute, she reflected on those who passed away, writing that it was an “incredible” year for her but “also extremely rough.”

“Filled with some of the highest highs, I experienced some of the lowest lows,” Demi wrote. “I said hello to a lot of amazing experiences and said goodbye to many that I love but everything happens for a reason and my skin got a lot thicker this year.

“I learned that no matter how painful things can be, things do get easier and time really does help heal all wounds,” she continued. “I’m so blessed to live the life I do, with the people I love by my side. I’m hoping that 2016 will be a bit lighter with more hellos and less goodbyes but whatever next year brings I know I’m stronger than I was a year ago.”

Demi also implored her fans to “cherish the moments you have with your friends and family, take too many pictures and always find the humor in things. Life’s too short for negativity and drama. Spread love, not hate and most importantly be grateful.

“We love and miss you already Spawn, Papa, Uncle Billy, Chris and Buddy,” she wrote to conclude her moving note.

Here’s hoping 2016 is a happy and healthy one for Demi and all her friends, family and pooches.

Clumsy, wavy-haired, and full of good intentions. Yep, that about sums it up.
