Vanessa Bryant experienced a tragedy that would shake anyone. How has she been coping?
Painfull losses
Vanessa Bryant must have been devastated to lose both her husband and her daughter on the same day.
On January 26, the world grieved right along with the Bryant family after it was reported that the legendary basketballer was killed in a helicopter crash along with one of his daughters, Gianna.

Kobe Bryant was 41 years old when he passed and his daughter was 13. His death is something his wife and his remaining three daughters, are now having to grieve through.
A tough grieving process
Shortly after Kobe’s death, Vanessa Bryant made her Instagram account public which means her subsequent updates could be seen by a lot of people. It also gave fans a chance to pay their respects and offer their condolences to the family.
A few days after his death, Vanessa expressed her appreciation to the "millions of people" who have shown their love and support.
There aren’t enough words to describe our pain right now. I take comfort in knowing that Kobe and Gigi both knew that they were so deeply loved. We were so incredibly blessed to have them in our lives. I wish they were here with us forever. They were our beautiful blessings taken from us too soon.
A little over two weeks after Kobe and Gianna’s death, Vanessa has shared another post where she talks about how she has been grieving.
In an Instagram post, she reveals that she has trouble processing the tragedy and while she is accepting the loss of her husband, she’s struggling to realize the fact that she will never see her daughter again.
The pain of losing her little girl is really tough to come to terms with.
Why should I be able to wake up another day when my baby girl isn’t being able to have that opportunity?! I’m so mad. She had so much life to live.
