“Many parts of the the last 28 years have been torturous, chaotic, uphill, and in public? That is the darkest shit imaginable. It almost tapped my resilience…almost.”
“But, between Kurt’s strange, amazing divinity, and the honor of a few true friends, the gift of desperation and sobriety, of a Higher power and of love, and of empathy, I’m here now.”
In a final statement, Love admitted that despite the years of setbacks, and pain, she’ll “be ok.”
“Fuck. I see him on the shore. Rocking in the free world. My husband.”
