Carl and I had many wonderful years together. Words cannot adequately express the love we have shared for more than 60 years. I appreciate your compassion and prayers. In this challenging time, the family has requested privacy.
Dolly revealed she “truly believes she’s going to see him again someday” almost three months after his death.
During a conversation with The Independent, the actress admitted that she “sees him every day in her memories and in her heart.” I really feel his presence, the 10-time Grammy winner continued.
“I just make an effort because I know I have to,” I said. And while he was ill for a while, a portion of me was content to know that he was well and not suffering any longer. But that doesn’t even cover the loss and loneliness.
Dolly previously shared an update with concerned fans, saying she was “doing better than I thought I would.” Speaking to Knox News, she said: “I’ve been with him 60 years. So, I’m going to have to relearn some of the things that we’ve done.
But I’ll keep him close at all times. Carl had suffered a lot “to the end of his life,” according to the Jolene singer, who also emotionally revealed this.
I’m happy that he’s happy, but that doesn’t stop me from missing and loving him…
She said, “We’ve got a hole in my heart, you know, but we’ll fill it up with good things and he’ll still be with me.”
Later, Dolly thanked fans for their kind words and expressed gratitude for all the messages, cards, and flowers I’ve sent in my husband’s memory.
Although I can’t speak directly to each of you, I am aware of how important it is to me. I’m happy that he’s now in God’s arms. I’ll be there for you forever.
