In an interview withYahoo!, Paulina Porizkova opened up about the loss of her husband.
Without him, I have lost half of my identity.
I think of Ric every day.
Sometimes angrily but as time has gone by I think about him with more and more tenderness.
She continued, “He made a mistake but then he didn’t live to correct it.
I’m immensely grateful for all the new and beautiful gifts I’m receiving from life.
And yet, I still cry.
Almost every day.”
She added that she wants to focus on hope moving forward but sometimes struggles to keep a positive mindset.
However, she closed on an optimistic note.
“Broken hearts don’t mend easily or quickly.
But they do mend.”
