Embracing Religion in the Wake of Loss

Maintaining a Connection Through Memory

“I love remembering her,” Kapoor said. “I love hearing stories about her from others and sharing memories with people who knew her. It’s a way to keep her with me.”
Balancing Grief with Professionalism
Kapoor also discussed the challenges of balancing her personal grief with her professional commitments. She explained that initially, she found it difficult to reconcile the two, but over time, she has learned to navigate both aspects of her life.
“It’s not easy,” Kapoor admitted. “There are times when I have to push through the pain and show up for work. But I’ve learned to take care of myself and give myself space when I need it.”
Ongoing Journey of Healing and Acceptance
Kapoor’s journey of healing and acceptance continues, and she expressed her appreciation for the support she has received from family, friends, and fans.
“I’m taking it one day at a time,” she said. “I have a lot of people who love me and support me, and that helps me get through the tough times.”
