Sharing a selfie, Faye said: "[Real talk] and it’s about Lifequakes…
"Yes it’s a real word.
"Definition; An event that suddenly changes your life – a car accident, a terrible illness, or losing a loved one – in the same dramatic way that an earthquake might destroy a building.
"Well … here’s the truth of it all.
"I have faced around three Lifequakes in less than 3 months and apparently it takes a good 6 months to get over just one…"
The actress implored people to be kind to others.
She continued: "You never know what people are going through.
"So for anyone who is going through some sort of struggle, a difficult time, feeling like their climbing a constant uphill battle…
"Give yourself time. Allow yourself to feel. Know that it will be okay. It might not be right now. But it will be. Eventually."
Rosie Webster actress Helen Flanagan commented: "Hope your okay darling x" [sic]
Victoria Ekanoye, who played Angie Appleton in the long-running ITV soap, simply said: "Here [heart emoji]"
Actor and presenter John Barrowman said: "Sending love. I totally understand."
