    I know people question how she was able to do this but honestly I think her strength comes from the fact that they died together. I think knowing they had each other brings her some comfort. Had she just lost one I think it would have been even harder knowing they were alone. I am envious of her strength. No way could I ever be that strong.

    when she said “my baby girl” you can tell how much pain she felt. i cannot imagine losing the 2 people i loved the most in one day and speak to the whole world and still take care of her other kids and natalia must feel so much pain. i feel so incredibly bad for them..i’m here almost 2 years later and i’m still in pain and i know the kids and her feel so much more pain. my respect goes out to them. they didn’t deserve that and no matter how arrogant kobe would’ve been at times, he was still an amazing father and gianna was such a kind soul. she sounded like such a good daughter who would always be respectful and responsible. all the kids are such good kids..

      I can't even imagine and don't want to. Don't get me wrong. Kobe's loss is devastating. But no parent expects to lose their child. The parent always goes first. You prepare your child to live without you. To lose Gigi before she had a chance to really live - it is so horrible. May they all RIP but especially the children who lost their lives that day far too young.

      The only words i could tell you, is what my father told me, when i asked him why he didn't speak about my sister. I remember being really mad that day and i yelled at him WHY? WHY DONT YOU SPEAK ABOUT MY SISTER, AS IF SHE NEVER EXISTED and my father told me exactly this words. In order for me to be here for the rest of you i cant speak about her and i remember my heart broke in a million pieces, because who am i to question my father, who am i to question how he deals with her death. So i could tell you this, her strength is her kids, she knows she has to keep going, because she has those children that depend on her. I saw my father die inside the day my sister died, but i know he fights each and everyday, even now that we ourselves are adults with children to stay alive for us for our kids. I will also tell you this, i heard my father cry and scream for my sister and it is something i will never wish on my worst enemy, because i already had kids and the pain in his voice felt like my heart being ripped out of my chest, because i couldn't do anything to fix it. I only talk about my dad, because my mom has always been a very strong women and although she is in just as much pain, she has always been able to keep it together, like the warrior she is. I hope im not annoying you with my words. I just wanted to give you a little insight, as to why we see parents keep it together and we ask how, one because God is wonderful and two, because if they have other kids, they have no option but to keep going 💖💖💖 be very blessed always and forever.

    The pain in her voice and on her face is so heart breaking, losing the 2 loves of her life at the same time is so beyond unthinkable. The strength this woman has is beyond amazing, she's blessed too have so much family friends etc in this time of her grief and heartache. Ik it's been 2 years but losing a child n husband will never heal over night she will always have that gap in her heart where Kobe and Gia filled everyday when they were together with her. I hope her and her family her girls etc have found happiness again and peace. R.I.P to Kobe; Gia; John Altobelli, his wife Keri and daughter Alyssa; Payton Chester and her mother Sara; basketball coach Christina Mauser

    I just cant imagine.. the pain of losing a husband and a daughter.. one loss is unfathomable but two.. man, this woman is tough and you could tell Kobe lives through her with her Mamba Mentality.. I hope all the best for their family in this difficult time of transition.. a transition that came way too soon and unexpectedly.. The basketball world will always have your back forever, Bryant family.

    I can't imagine the amount of tears she cried. She was probably so sedated just to stay calm. After I lost my daddy, I had to be on heavily medicated with valoum just to cope. My mom had to as well. I was a daddys girl. Just as Gianna was. May all the victims rest in peace
