All of my social media at the moment is full of Kobe Bryant’s face. The reason for this is because he, his daughter Gianna, and 7 others passed away in a tragic helicopter accident on Sunday. Kobe was a role model for many with his skills in basketball but also because of the dad he was. The Hashtag #Girldad is trending right now because of a tribute that host Ellen Duncan did. In this post, she goes over time that she met him and how he explained how much he loves being a girl dad. Kobe left at home 3 more daughters and his high school sweetheart Vanessa.
TMZ is a tabloid that gets the latest news on all celebrities’. They live up to that because on Sunday they had found about this accident before authorities even got a chance to tell Vanessa and the rest of the Bryant family. I could not imagine getting the news that you had lost not only your husband but also your child, but instead having to read about it on social media. My heart has been hurting since Sunday knowing that families are grieving the loss of amazing people.
Dying is something that is inevitable and it is scary to think about, but another inevitable thing is the grief that comes with death. At my age, I have not had to deal with much death, but I have had my experience. Grieving is something you need to go through and it is one of the hardest processes I have experienced, and I was not in the spotlight like the Bryant family
There was a tweet from a tabloid that said: “Vanessa can not finish a sentence without crying”. This woman is going through hell at the moment, of course, she will be crying. The fact that it is going through social media gets on my nerves. This is just the beginning of the processes and she is already getting judged.
Vanessa took to Instagram yesterday with her gratitude for all the condolences that she has gotten. In my opinion, I feel as if she was pressured into posting something. She had asked for privacy which she needs, but I truly wonder who will break that rule… my guess is TMZ. ”I’m not sure what our lives hold beyond today, and it’s impossible to imagine life without them,” Vanessa Bryant wrote
My wish is that no one has to face the toll that death exerts and the pain that possesses you, but as I said earlier it is inevitable. I hope the people give the Bryant family the respect and privacy they deserve during this awful time in their life. My heart and condolences are with Venessa and the girls as they learn how to go through life without their number one man.
