Vanessa Bryant has found in her social networks a valve through which to channel her pain after the death of her husband Kobe and her daughter Gianna in a helicopter accident that occurred on January 26 in California.
This afternoon, in a heartbreaking message on his Instagram account, Vanessa said he can’t understand how he has the right to wake up every day when his daughter won’t be able to do it anymore.
“I have been reluctant to express my feelings in words. My brain refuses to accept that both Kobe and Gigi are gone. I cannot process the game of both at the same time. It’s like I’m trying to process Kobe’s disappearance, but My body refuses to accept that my Gigi will never come back to me. It feels so bad. Do youWhy should I wake up another day when my baby can’t have that opportunity? I have so much courage. She had so much life to live. Then I realize that I need to be strong and be here for my three daughters. I am upset because I am no longer with Kobe and Gigi, but I am grateful to be here with Natalia, Bianka and Capri. I know that what I feel is normal. It is part of the grieving process. Alone I wanted to share in case there is someone out there who has suffered a loss like this. God, I wish they were here and that this nightmare was over. I pray for all the victims of this horrible tragedy. Please continue praying for everyone, “Vanessa wrote next to a video in which Gigi appears, as they nicknamed Gianna, playing basketball.
It is the third time since the tragedy in which Vanessa expresses herself so openly and extensively about her pain. The first time was on January 29 when he broke his silence about the tragedy to thank those who have sent messages of support and request the same support for the families of the deceased others. The second occasion was along with a video of a tribute they made at the Gianna school to withdraw the number 2 that the young woman used to play. “My Gianna. God, I miss you. I have been so fortunate to wake up and meet your beautiful face and smile for the past 13 years. I wish it had been that way until my last breath,” reads part of the message published on February 5.
The helicopter in which Bryant, 41, and his daughter Gigi, 13, were traveling with seven other people crashed into a hillside in the Californian town of Calabasas. Passengers were heading to a basketball tournament at the Mamba Sports Academy, owned by Bryant. Gianna’s team was trained by Bryant and competed in the tournament.
A public tribute will be held on February 24 in memory of those killed at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where Bryant shined with the Lakers for much of his two-decade career. The date, 24-2-20, refers to the number 24 that Bryant used in the final part of his career, to the 2 that his daughter Gianna used and to the 20 years of career and relationship of the handball player.
In addition to Gianna, Kobe and Vanessa had three other daughters: Natalia, 17; Bienka, 3, and Capri, 7 months, and who her mother says is very similar to her deceased sister.
