Chris Cornell’s widow Vicky recently posted on Instagram:
“While May 18th will forever mark the worst day of my life, the 26th – a year ago today – marks the second. The day I was forced to lay the love of my life to rest. I wasn’t ready…. I’m still not ready I didn’t and don’t want to bury my husband.
Being back at Hollywood Forever last Friday night was stepping into a place that serves as a reminder of what I’ve lost, a missing piece that hurts so much. But seeing you all and feeling so much love renewed my feelings of hope and gave me the strength to keep going, continue to honor him and not lose sight of all I have to be grateful for.
In this last year, the outpouring of love and support from all over the world reinforced my determination to work on everything my husband wanted to see fulfilled, and everything he stood for. From his music, to his heart and soul as a father and as a husband.
I will speak his name every day. I will continue to keep the promise for him and Chris will live forever in the present.
So many of you have shared how much his music changed you and even saved your lives. You have paid that love forward a hundredfold. Your love and support has helped our family through this past year more than my few words can convey. Together we will never forget Chris, and I will never forget your love and support. Thank you. Loud Love, VC #keepthepromise #noonesingslikeyouanymore”
