It's hard to believe that it has already been a year since the horrible accident that claimed the lives of Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant and her teammates and their parents. Alyssa Altobelli and her parents John and Keri, Sarah and Payton Chester also the assistant coach Christina Mauser. Last but not least the helicopter pilot, Ara Zobayan.
There have been ongoing posts from Vanessa Bryant, Kobe's wife, through the last year expressing how she has been trying to deal with the loss of her husband and their first born Gianna. It has been a struggle for Vanessa to say the least dealing with the grief of their passing.
On this day, the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of their helicopter crash, friends, family and fans will be sending love and light to the Bryant family. One close friend of Gianna's decided to write a letter to Vanessa and expressing how she misses Gianna's smile and sharing how she also goes into depression stages because of her absence. It was a very sweet thing for Gianna's friend to share this with Vanessa and in turn for Vanessa to share it with her followers on social media.
Losing your husband and child at one time is an unimaginable tragedy and it goes without saying that our hearts and prayers always go out to Vanessa and their family. God bless all who have had to deal with loss. Depression is a real thing and if you need help please reach out to your loved ones or a professional.
