Hannah Kobayashi Reflects on 'Loss, Pain and Suffering'
Hannah, 30, made headlines around the country when she left Maui on Nov. 8, 2024, before going missing after failing to catch a connecting flight to New York City from Los Angeles.
Hannah has since returned to Instagram and spoke about "loss and pain and suffering."
“Given my particular situation on the other side of my experience, I understand how some people would choose to cast me in a negative light, but I know who I am, I know my truth and one day, I will share it. I do believe that we can all learn to be kinder to one another because we never really know what someone else has been through unless we’ve walked in their shoes,” Hannah added, the publication stated.

In the clip, she thanked “every single person who dedicated time and energy into looking for me" amid the search, adding, “Every day is such a gift, especially after such loss and pain and suffering. We should all learn to be kind to one another,” without directly referencing her father.
On May 4, Hannah returned to the social media site by sharing a black and white photo of trees, alongside the caption, "For all that i have yet to say, the love in my heart remains the same, for every being that exists and those to come..."
"To go deep within and bear witness to your unwaivering resilience is a true remembrance. more powerful than you could ever imagine. rise up against tyranny, rise up against hate," she wrote. "Overcome fear~and nothing will ever stop you from becoming that in which you are destined."
In the comments section, Hannah responded to a discussion about why she didn't go to her father's funeral.
She insisted, "You don't know the whole story. my intention in this post is to acknowledge that I am going to speak about my experience — and to stand up against all the hate that was cast upon me. I hope that in your darkest hours, you are shown compassion and love versus hate and judgment."
Following her return to the U.S. in December, Hannah spoke to PEOPLE in a statement provided by her aunt, Larie Pidgeon which read: "My focus now is on my healing, my peace and my creativity. I am deeply grateful to my family and everyone who has shown me kindness and compassion during this time."
