She continued: "I think it is in adversity that we often find our deepest strength. Life's challenges remind me how important it is to persevere, to have hope and faith in the power of the human spirit."

Reflecting on the support of her friends and family, Tatiana added: "I had the support of my family, my friends and my entourage and I drew immense strength from them. Everything happened at the same time. It was like an avalanche of changes in front of everyone.
