In the Instagram post, Olivia disclosed that she renovated the room last year before sadly losing her father, which left her with a heavy sense of grief that affected how she viewed the home she grew up in.

Olivia opens up about dealing with grief

"I recognise it is one of the many facets of grief. I grieve for my home, my father, and the happy times we had. Immediately after a death, memories are painful. However, after a while, the same memories become precious because they are all that is left to remember the people, the events, and the home," Olivia wrote.

She said that although it may seem strange to grieve for bricks and mortar, for Olivia, a home is as much a part of the family as the people.

"Many were raised in this home, some from a very young age, some for school, work purposes and more as it was a FAMILY HOME. I remember Tate saying, 'my doors are open to all'. They remained opened and closed shortly after his death. They say home is where the heart is - when his heart stopped beating, his home shut down. I actually miss my dad hey," Olivia added.

Social media users react with heartfelt messages
