Prayers Up: There are no words to describe the feeling of losing the people you love, but somehow, Vanessa Bryant has gathered enough words to express what she’s feeling right now. It’s been just a few weeks since she lost her beloved husband Kobe and her precious daughter Gianna, and Vanessa has a message for all of you out there praying for her.
She starts by expressing how difficult it is to accept that they are both gone, but acknowledges how must strength she must have to live on for her three daughters.
“My brain refuses to accept that both Kobe and Gigi are gone,” she says. “I can’t process both at the same time. It’s like I’m trying to process Kobe being gone but my body refuses to accept my Gigi will never come back to me. It feels wrong.”
She continues saying:
“It feels wrong. Why should I be able to wake up another day when my baby girl isn’t able to have that opportunity? I’m so mad. She had so much life to live. Then I realize I need to be strong and be here for my 3 daughters.”
Vanessa spoke out for the first time days after the tragic helicopter crash claimed the lives of Kobe, Gianna, and some of their closest friends and loved ones. And while she says it all feels surreal, she asks for the continuous prayers or her loved ones, and all of the families impacted.
