Vanessa Bryant writes about herself: ‘Life without Kobe and Gigi is a nightmare’

Phew. To be completely honest: I find this almost too heavy to read. The hell that Vanessa Bryant has been through in the past weeks... It's almost unimaginable. On one hand, you want to close your eyes to someone who is experiencing so much pain, on the other hand, you are grateful for every day that is granted to you and your loved ones. Vanessa wrote in a heartbreaking post on Instagram last night about how she is doing, two weeks after the news broke that her husband Kobe and their daughter Gianna lost their lives in a helicopter crash.
“My brain refuses to accept that both Kobe and Gigi are gone. I can't process both at the same time. It's like I'm trying to process that Kobe is gone, but my body refuses to accept that Gigi will never come back to me,” she writes. “It feels wrong. Why can I wake up today when my little girl doesn't get that chance?! I'm so angry. She had so much to live for.”
Vanessa writes that she has to be strong for her other three daughters. “I'm angry that I can't be with Kobe and Gigi, but grateful that I'm here with Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. I know that what I'm feeling is normal. It's part of the grieving process. God, I wish they were here and that this nightmare was over.” A lump in my throat this morning. The world mourns with you, Vanessa.
