"They keep asking how I am feeling. I'm like, 'God!... Please don't ask, because you don't want the answer.' I'm all over the place," she said.
She elaborated, "Today I believe, then tomorrow I'm like, how? Today I walk into church, look at the amazing pictures of this hunk of a man and I'm like, baby how? Why? Please just allow me to be all over the place."

Kathy emphasised that everyone grieves differently and asked for understanding. "I'm the type to think about a lot of things. Right now, I might want to lock myself up, but I'm not that type. Today I can lock myself up and cry all day, but I will still rise up and try again. People do it differently. I'm in, out, I'm all over the place. Just understand me."
