Vanessa will probably be sitting in the house waiting for them to walk in then it suddenly hits her that they are gone forever. Tough journey ahead. Wishing her Godspeed.
No one knows how many times Vanessa has broke down and cried behind closed doors. I was not expecting her to be there. Now she can really grief and cope with her lost
She did great at the memorial and I think she may have been under the influence of some medication to be able to talk in public about her tremendous loss.
Tam was so right and I am sure she must remember her niece that was killed, all that potential that's gone. It was so hard to watch Vanessa talking about not seeing her daughter graduate, not seeing Kobe and Gianna dancing, her getting married and having kids of her own. All those milestones just gone. Its heartbreaking you could see the pain in her eyes, there was a part at the start of the memorial where Vanessa couldn't even watch the video with Kobe she immediately started getting emotional. I can only hope one day she finds that peace.
God gave her the grace and strength and courage to be able to do what she had to do,to get up there and speak those beautiful words about her husband and her daughter even through the tears she carried on
I lost my son at nearly 3 months old. Thanks to my other children they were my beacon of light and my grace. Strong mama hold those babies tight! Rip kobe and Gigi. ❤
She has 3 other kids to be strong for,,I think that plays a part in keeping her going and strong,especially the little babies keep her busy, may God be with her and her family!
I applaud Vanessa so much for getting up in front of 20,000+ people yesterday & speaking so strongly 😭 she’s so strong, God continue to bless her & her daughters also the other victims families as well❤️❤️
I cried the whole time she was speaking I lost it when she said “I’ll never get to see my baby girl on her wedding day” “We would’ve been the coolest grandparents he would’ve been an amazing grandfather”
When she said they couldn’t be on this earth without each other. I lost it. So sad. I can’t imagine what these ppl are going through. The donations are also going to the surviving victims of all the families involved💜🏀💛
I pray Vanessa forever feels the embrace of Kobe & Gianna and forever smells their scent to comfort her until they are together again. Their legacy will live on forever. My heart hurts for the Bryant family. #RIPKobeandGianna
I respect and like Kobe's mother, father and two sisters that were not even mentioned let alone a part of the ceremonies of their child and brother. yea that part. I don't care that the parents didn't approve of his marriage to Vanessa and other differences. You were brought here by two biological people. And for the NBA and Vanessa to dismiss that as if they didn't exist is an Epic fail and DISRESPECT IMO. They showed more love to the other peoples family than to Kobe's first and natural family. People tend to pick and choose where they want to place they energy.
I wasn't crying at first and I didn't cry until she said "babe take care of our Gianna." That's when I got emotional I can literally tell she wanted to cry but she had to be strong for her and Kobe's daughters and I cannot imagine the pain that she has to deal with not just losing a husband but losing a child at the same time and on the same day :'( Vanessa my prayers are with you and your family and my prayers are with the 7 other passengers families who lost their loved ones. 🙏🙏
When you lose your life partner, it was absolutely one of the most devistating thing ive ever experienced. But, to lose a child on top of that? There are no words. I cant even imagine the depth of her grief. Mrs. Bryant has my deepest , most heart felt condolences. Her and her babies have a tough time to live through.
It so sad and tragic to hear and see🥺. I wish it never happened but there’s a reason for everything and we all don’t know that reason but one day we will know! And I know it’s hard now and it’s gonna be for a long time but remember better days will come! And always think postive of your loved ones not how he died! He was an legend! Let’s remember him and Gigi with their legacy! Let’s be postive for them! And Vanessa and her family and Kobe’s family and friends as well! WE LOVE YOU ALL KOBE AND GIGI AND THE OTHER PASSENGERS 💔.. until we all meet again!
I love my husband and 4 children sooooo much! To have your family ripped apart in this way I could never imagine, nor want to. I admire her strength, but I mostly am sad for the quiet that is to come. When the world moves on, and their deaths are no longer a topic of discussion. When the hundrends of people that are reaching out to her daily will mostly stop. When life is suppose to go on, but she can't. I speak to the universe to guide her and give her the strength to do so.
I think the strength came from being around so many people that loved Kobe. Grief is so complexed. But she had 20,000 people surrounding her lifting her up. So much love and compassion was in that stadium. To talk about her loss probably helps her to find Peace and not feel alone in this tragedy. He was so well loved and her daughter was an amazing, talented, inspiring child. My heart goes out to her.
Everytime she paused my heart broke for her because i knew she was trying to stay strong and keep it together and she did she was soo strong prayers up for her and her family omg 😢
I’ve been praying for the Bryant family every day since the news came out. My heart hearts so bad for Vanessa and Natalia and all those who loved Kobe. God bless their family today and always💛💜
It was a BEAUTIFUL service and I found it incredibly healing to all of us who are griving the loss our one of our heros. Vanessa and her kids being there and for her to speak and share memories with us was incredibly self-less and unforgettable. All the speakers were remarkable and the musical selection was highly moving. Alicia Key's Moonlight Sonata ( Beethoven) tied in to RP's speech very well. Beyonce's Halo - SO POWERFUL, and Christina Aguilera's moving performance of Ave Maria.... I have re-watched the service and will continue to do so on days that I need that motivation of Mamba Mentality and strength stories. - For ppl who look for negative things to say, please remember there was a private service before this and I'm sure his parents spoke at that time. Even if they didn't that's not our business. May he rest in peace!!
@@SimoneUmba Yes girl! Thank you! -- I don't know why everyone can't just say how moving and special it was cause Vanessa didn't have to do this. She already had her private service. She did this cause everyone else needed it. I appreciate and honor her for this because it's so hard to get up there and speak about her baby and her soul mate. I appreciate her.
I can’t imagine sitting in a memorial for my child and they act like I didn’t even exist . We wouldn’t be here without our parents. Give honor and respect where it’s due!
People, the memorial is for Kobe and Gigi...His parents and sister's, nieces and nephews were acknowledged by Shaq...Let it be...That whole family is devastated...Stop and think before you post, Why does someone always gotta pick apart something that is said or not said...Stirring the pot...If it wasn't about them, (Kobe's parents and siblings)...they would have found something else to criticize...It was a beautiful service and love was felt in that arena and all over the world...Condolences and sincere sympathy to all the families...Such a sad time for them...Love to all!...🏀😥
She will have times where she will come across something, or even hear a song and remember them, pick up her phone to call them to let them know she thought of them, only to dial the number and it dawns on her that they are no more. Grief deepens as time goes by.
Nani Wattz what is wrong with you the women is grieving she does not need this she loves her husband the farther if her kids her soulmate and best friend and her daughter and baby girl and if you want to say all this stuff just get off videos like this thats the problem y’all want to be the first one to hate on someone but stay watching the videos about it you don’t know what she gies through 🤬🙄
I love how they say, “and the others that tragically passed”, like don’t get me wrong what have to Kobe and Gigi but there’s a whole family that died on the plane. There’s a girl who lost her mom, dad and sister and is now left alone by herself and it’s sad that no one talks about them
The others will be remembered by the own loved ones in their own way....The world was mourning KOBE BRYANT a world renowned star ..no one knew those other people and this crash would not even be news if he wasn't on there. Geez why is that hard for people to understand. Their deaths are significant but mostly to those who knew and loved them.
Shauni Marie I understand he’s famous and all but imagine that girl who lost all of her family and all she hears on the news is Kobe and Gigi but no one talks about her family that’s all I’m saying
@@anastasiavendredi9272 I think the news did an adequate job of reporting all 9 deaths...I'm sorry for the little girls loss as well but the fact still remains it would just be a passing local news story if Kobe was not on the plane! So she wouldn't hear about it regardless!
Anastasia Vendredi There is plenty of coverage on the other families and entire articles online on each of the other families who lost loved ones along with the Bryant family. This video was referring to Kobe and his daughter’s memorial, that’s why the other families were not mentioned.
I agree with every word Tamara said. Grief is very complex. It’s going to be 19 years since I lost my father. After everything was over, I was thinking to myself, my father will never get to see my siblings and I graduate from highschool, college. See us in our adulthoods. See us get jobs, careers. See us get married, dancing with us. What breaks my heart even more, is that he’ll never get to have the title grandpa/abuelo. I thought for sure I would of experience growing old with my father and experiencing so many adventures with him. I know time heals but damn it there are times I grief like it happened yesterday. We all deal with grief differently. I guess I know that I’m not alone and that it’s how life is my father would say. My father was such an important figure in our lives. I miss my dad tremendously. RIP Pa ❤️🙏. To the Bryant’s family and the seven other families, my prayers and condolences to you all 🙏
I cannot stress this enough 😔 make the most of the time you have. Condolences to the Bryant family BUT also condolences to the other families that have suffered
Dude, as a parent, man that speech had me crying. I hugged my babygirl so much yesterday she was like, wow daddy you love me SO much. This made me realize that tomorrow isn't promised to ANY of us and sometimes the includes our babies. So hug tightly, kiss lovingly and tell your child(ren) you love them. Spend less time trying to capture moments on your phone to post and spend more TIME being PRESENT and enjoying every second with your child(ren) because likes on social media don't turn back the hands of time. On unrelated and a lighter note, loving the puff Amanda.
For a Mother to go through this is Strength, but I will say Symbolism in hair, clothes stage prescence, I will watch and see this play out. May her Husband and Daughter in Heaven together Rest and the Mother and the rest of the family finds Peace💕💕💕
Tamera is right. Grief is a complex emotion. Sometimes your sadness is greater months and even years from your loss. Holidays, birthdays, even music or phrases will hit you hard. I can’t imagine the pain of losing two family members at once because the pain of losing just one for me was overwhelming.
I’ve been shocked the whole time, but when I saw Vanessa start talking about her daughter Gianna that’s when I really felt true emotions. As a mother myself, my heart deeply goes out to her.
I lost my older brother when I was 15 and it still cuts me to the bone after 18 years without him. My other brother and I grieved a sibling and friend. I had to help tell my niece that her daddy was gone, and the hardest thing was watching my mom and dad come to terms with losing a child. I got lost in my grief. I mentally and physically broke but my parents pulled me through even though they lost a piece of themselves. The strength it takes to do that is immense and I see that same strength reflected in Vanessa Bryant. I hope she and her family (as well as the families of the other lives lost) surround themselves with people that can hold them up and keep them being overtaken by their loss. Remember the good, remember the love, and while that pain won’t ever go away (and that’s ok), it does eventually become a little easier to carry.
That was so brave of Vanessa Bryant, she rose to the occasion to celebrate the life of her husband and Daughter, I just cant imagine the pain and suffering she will endure for the rest of her life. I hope she and her daughters will find the ultimate peace to grieve during this difficult time
I don’t know if you’ll have gone through a breakup after a few years of living together? But I imagine it the way I felt at the time. You’re used to a routine, a presence in all the little places that you took for granted, and of course a connection that was once there - and when it’s completely gone it is emotionally hard to get used to. I’m imagining this feeling times a million for Vanessa. Just devastating.
Condolences to everyone that lost loved ones. This is such a sad occasion. But because I felt Kobe’s parents and siblings were not really acknowledged during their time of grief, I just want to pause and send them my love and prayers. Pam & Joe Bryant lost a son and grand daughter. His sisters lost a brother and niece. They too are in my thoughts and prayers. There would’ve been no Kobe without his mom and dad bringing him into this world. 😢🙏
Jen and perhaps one day they will tell their story. I just find it ironic that his relationship with his parents declined once she enters into the picture. I don’t care what beef you got going on ... I found it disrespectful that the memorial was not planned in a way that showed Kobe’s life before the NBA and growing up or take a moment to acknowledge Kobe’s parents and GiGis grandparents ... it’s all weird to me ... first things first ... “honor your parents” no matter what and that’s what should’ve been done especially considering they are laying the son they loved and raised down to permanently rest & knowing more about Kobe is something fans that loved him were anticipating
Sorry to say this and dont put it in the wrong context, but watch the wife rise in a mysterious Fame and spotlight over this, I saw a symbolism on her stage prescence, and I hope to God I am wrong. But watch this unfold and If i am right, I will explain further to you, what has happened. Please save this message and we can revisit after a few months. But you arr right known of his family ie..siblings and parents mentioned, but as the months go on the answers will be clear. Have a Fab day and speak very soon.
Jen im a fan and was looking forward to learning more about Kobe and his parents and siblings memories. Usually at a memorial that’s the point. But anywho....we’re not talking about grand parents were talking about Kobe’s parents and his siblings which are his core family before Vanessa was even in the picture. If this unfortunate circumstance was in reverse and Vanessa would have died, I’m certain Kobe would have paid her parents the proper respect publicly that’s just how he rolls. He is a team player and thoughtful of others feelings and emotions and at the end of the day, as a fan, and also a caring human being, I’m just really hurt and disappointed that his parents were not recognized and honored and acknowledged. It was disrespectful peridot and there’s nothing anyone can do to convince me otherwise. When grieving and dealing with memorials or funerals you always try to be inclusive and mindful of others hurting and especially the parents of the deceased and if you look at their body language you could tell Pam and Joe were hurting.
Jen I mentioned grandparent as an add on to Make the point that they had a double loss but my main point has always been the parents and siblings should have been acknowledged. Why do you have a problem with that? Should Kobe’s parents and siblings just be forgotten?
I found myself crying throughout her speech. Seeing a mother grieve her child hit close to home for me, as I’ve seen that grief with my own eyes. Praying for all the mothers out there who’ve lost their children. May God comfort you and ease your pain.
Tamera is just so beautiful. I love her. She speaks with such elegance and love. I have loved her and her sister from day one. And we are cancers. July 9 here and they are July 6. Man she could talk forever and I’d love to listen.
so many mothers go through exactly what Vanessa has gone through it sucks and it's unbearable sad but as a mother you find the strength to push through for your other kids or for the rest of the family this shows how loved and how strong Kobe family is the ceremony was very emotional and it speaks to so many people in the world who has lost family life is short we don't know how long we have embrace the life you have while you can
My heart aches for Vanessa and her daughters. I’m just an average person but if she or her daughters needed me I would be there in a hot minute. Rest in Paradise Kobe and Gigi...you will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace kobe and Gigi!! I just wish I heard his parents talk or mentioned. At the end he was a son before a husband or father! Without them he wouldn’t be Kobe Bryant we all know!!
I cried throughout the whole speech. It’s heart breaking to hear but even more hard to watch. Vanessa has strength like I’ve never seen in my life. I pray for her every night because that is so heavy to live with. Rest in eternal peace Gigi and Kobe. 😢😢😢😢💜💛💜💛
A lot of ppl don't realize that as hurt and broken as this woman is right now she still has 3 more babies she has to be strong for. Don't be fooled when you see her smile or post pics and videos everyone has their own way of grief. If she falls weak before their (family) eyes they too will fall weak. I can't imagine the strength it's taking out of her to get up another day know that apart of her is gone...She is now handed a whole new role and level of responsibility that was never hers, to begin with. She's now the breadwinner of her household, mother and father to the kids, the foundation that holds it all together. It's not easy but she is definitely a pillar of strength and God has them and her.
That last part where she says were still the best team killed me broke my heart and everytime i watch that i Immediately start to cry i cant hold back 💔
Yes you can, u find that strength. I lost my fiance my best friend my soulmate to brain cancer, he leaves his family but more our 8 year old daughter. I had to go up and say a few words in his wake... I didn't think I could do it,but u feel such an honor to have had them shared their time with u and loving u . It just wouldn't feel right if u didn't speak. I love you Alex miss u always 🌺so does azalea 🌺RIP 🙏 1989-2019
She’s actually just holding up for now because she had no choice but to be strong. That mantle of strength will get too heavy. I just hope and pray that she is surrounded by people who are people of Integrity and true love for her and her babies. She will need someone to catch her when the real grief kicks in. What we saw is a woman in love with her family even in tragedy. She will honor and protect them. The best thing for her would be a someone to tell her she is safe and means it. And allow her to really grieve WITHOUT JUDGMENT!!
I felt soo somber watching. I also enjoyed the short moments where comedic relief was added. When the camera would pan to Kobe's family bloodline i.e siblings, mom and dad I seen how heartbroken they too looked. I found it odd how ONLY Shaq mentioned them. However, death is sudden and always seems too soon. Praying for everyone involved.
In times like these, when one is face to face with the sting of death, the only thing they can do press forward. We all say we could not do it be when doing it is the only thing in front of us, then we do it. The key is believing that God is with us every step of the way and truly I believe only God is carrying Vanessa through this season of her life. It is extremely hard, sad and difficult but I know in my heart, she and the girls are going to be just fine. God would not have given her this mountain if she was not built for it. God knew, Vanessa Bryant could journey through this and that is why she IS doing it. May God himself sustain her and continue to comfort her heart...Amen! Blessings Vanessa!
I was in tears for Vanessa and for the other daughters because this is a tragedy that i don't know if they will ever accept or even fully comprehend but she has to be strong for them as difficult as it may be for her right now. For her to stand up and speak through her grief and share precious intimate memories that she had with Kobe and Gigi was just phenomenal and she and her family will be in my prayers as well as the other victims families for a long time
When Vanessa started talking about how she'll never see Gigi walk down the aisle and about the missed opportunities I started crying
The Life of Ro it was a lot
@@BriaBarrows it truly was
Same, gosh she must feel devastated
Girl same. I couldn’t.
Same. It was so sad
Tamera wasnt lying when she said grief is a complex of emotions. Boy was she right. RIP Kobe and Gigi.

Thanks for all the likes. May we deal with grief in a healthy way. I really wish his family the best.
And what about the other people who died on that helicopter?

And also the actual funeral was held a week after the plane accident happened so she had a little time to grieve before the memorial
@@LADYVIKING05 she didn’t hear it from tmz she heard it from Kobe’s employee
I feel so bad for Kobe’s parents, wife, children and sisters. This has got to be so hard for them all.
Yes I know it's hard
Yes
God I couldn’t stop crying during her entire speech.
Tam was so right and I am sure she must remember her niece that was killed, all that potential that's gone.

I can only hope one day she finds that peace.
And her husband Adam as well. It was his niece. Tamera's niece through marriage.
Your Mama that’s so sad 😞
Someone in the comments said the death of Tameras niece was Tamera and Adams karma. I will never forget how sick and toxic that was
What happened to her ?
@@GossipGyal1 i believe she was killed in that las vegas shooting
Tamera.........you are so spot on about “grief.” It’s the hardest emotion to deal with.

Vanessa had me crying as a mom I can't even imagine loosing my kids. Then loosing my soulmate would also be too much for me to handle.
I genuinely believe it's her 3 other daughters that get her through this. Without them God only knows where'd she be right now. so heartbreaking :(
“We’re still a team” bless her heart for she has been through too much. Such a sad tragedy! Why’d this have to happen😔

People, the memorial is for Kobe and Gigi...His parents and sister's, nieces and nephews were acknowledged by Shaq...Let it be...That whole family is devastated...Stop and think before you post, Why does someone always gotta pick apart something that is said or not said...Stirring the pot...If it wasn't about them, (Kobe's parents and siblings)...they would have found something else to criticize...It was a beautiful service and love was felt in that arena and all over the world...Condolences and sincere sympathy to all the families...Such a sad time for them...Love to all!...🏀😥

Shaq had Kobe's parents and sisters back!
She will have times where she will come across something, or even hear a song and remember them, pick up her phone to call them to let them know she thought of them, only to dial the number and it dawns on her that they are no more. Grief deepens as time goes by.
Kobe said in a interview that she’s stronger than him.
Nani Wattz kid where’s the proof in all this? Don’t be a no life pathetic person now.
Nani Wattz like I said kid where is the proof? You just making yourself look like a jealous hater that is all.
Nani Wattz what is wrong with you the women is grieving she does not need this she loves her husband the farther if her kids her soulmate and best friend and her daughter and baby girl and if you want to say all this stuff just get off videos like this thats the problem y’all want to be the first one to hate on someone but stay watching the videos about it you don’t know what she gies through 🤬🙄
We latina are strong womens
I love how they say, “and the others that tragically passed”, like don’t get me wrong what have to Kobe and Gigi but there’s a whole family that died on the plane. There’s a girl who lost her mom, dad and sister and is now left alone by herself and it’s sad that no one talks about them
Anastasia Vendredi they had their own memorials and people talk about the ones they knew
The others will be remembered by the own loved ones in their own way....The world was mourning KOBE BRYANT a world renowned star
..no one knew those other people and this crash would not even be news if he wasn't on there. Geez why is that hard for people to understand. Their deaths are significant but mostly to those who knew and loved them.
Shauni Marie I understand he’s famous and all but imagine that girl who lost all of her family and all she hears on the news is Kobe and Gigi but no one talks about her family that’s all I’m saying
@@anastasiavendredi9272 I think the news did an adequate job of reporting all 9 deaths...I'm sorry for the little girls loss as well but the fact still remains it would just be a passing local news story if Kobe was not on the plane! So she wouldn't hear about it regardless!
Anastasia Vendredi There is plenty of coverage on the other families and entire articles online on each of the other families who lost loved ones along with the Bryant family. This video was referring to Kobe and his daughter’s memorial, that’s why the other families were not mentioned.
I pray vanessa embraces kobe family and not just her side so the children are close to everyone.
Prayers for all the families that lost their loved ones. I can only imagine the pain that they feel to have lost family members!
I agree with every word Tamara said. Grief is very complex. It’s going to be 19 years since I lost my father. After everything was over, I was thinking to myself, my father will never get to see my siblings and I graduate from highschool, college. See us in our adulthoods. See us get jobs, careers. See us get married, dancing with us. What breaks my heart even more, is that he’ll never get to have the title grandpa/abuelo. I thought for sure I would of experience growing old with my father and experiencing so many adventures with him. I know time heals but damn it there are times I grief like it happened yesterday. We all deal with grief differently. I guess I know that I’m not alone and that it’s how life is my father would say. My father was such an important figure in our lives. I miss my dad tremendously. RIP Pa ❤️🙏. To the Bryant’s family and the seven other families, my prayers and condolences to you all 🙏
I cannot stress this enough 😔 make the most of the time you have. Condolences to the Bryant family BUT also condolences to the other families that have suffered
Jen I tried but probably didn’t get them all 😔 I completely agree
I broke down when Vanessa said she will never get to attend/dance at her wedding and never got to try for her drivers license. That part broke me!
She really held herself together. I couldn't even be there with the cameras. I would completely break down.
Dude, as a parent, man that speech had me crying. I hugged my babygirl so much yesterday she was like, wow daddy you love me SO much. This made me realize that tomorrow isn't promised to ANY of us and sometimes the includes our babies. So hug tightly, kiss lovingly and tell your child(ren) you love them. Spend less time trying to capture moments on your phone to post and spend more TIME being PRESENT and enjoying every second with your child(ren) because likes on social media don't turn back the hands of time.
On unrelated and a lighter note, loving the puff Amanda.
For a Mother to go through this is Strength, but I will say Symbolism in hair, clothes stage prescence, I will watch and see this play out. May her Husband and Daughter in Heaven together Rest and the Mother and the rest of the family finds Peace💕💕💕
She's very strong. All the love to you Vee and the kids.
Mamba forever.🙏🙏
Tamera is right. Grief is a complex emotion. Sometimes your sadness is greater months and even years from your loss. Holidays, birthdays, even music or phrases will hit you hard. I can’t imagine the pain of losing two family members at once because the pain of losing just one for me was overwhelming.
Tamera explained grief so well, so well, man I feel so sorry for Vanessa 😢♥️
I honestly don’t know how she did that, her strength is so powerful.
When I saw her I said god bless I wouldn’t be able to stand let alone give a eulogy
I’ve been shocked the whole time, but when I saw Vanessa start talking about her daughter Gianna that’s when I really felt true emotions. As a mother myself, my heart deeply goes out to her.
My heart goes out to Vanessa and her family.
I lost my older brother when I was 15 and it still cuts me to the bone after 18 years without him. My other brother and I grieved a sibling and friend. I had to help tell my niece that her daddy was gone, and the hardest thing was watching my mom and dad come to terms with losing a child. I got lost in my grief. I mentally and physically broke but my parents pulled me through even though they lost a piece of themselves. The strength it takes to do that is immense and I see that same strength reflected in Vanessa Bryant. I hope she and her family (as well as the families of the other lives lost) surround themselves with people that can hold them up and keep them being overtaken by their loss. Remember the good, remember the love, and while that pain won’t ever go away (and that’s ok), it does eventually become a little easier to carry.
magsguerra hi！
I still suffer from the lost of my dad 4 years ago😭😭nobody truly knows what you're feeling ...
#rip
She is so strong it's beautiful. She doesn't owe it to anybody to be there I wasn't expecting her to be there at all. We all love her so much
My heart goes out to all the families that have lost someone in that awful accident.
That was so brave of Vanessa Bryant, she rose to the occasion to celebrate the life of her husband and Daughter, I just cant imagine the pain and suffering she will endure for the rest of her life. I hope she and her daughters will find the ultimate peace to grieve during this difficult time
What about his parents and sisters?
I don’t know if you’ll have gone through a breakup after a few years of living together? But I imagine it the way I felt at the time. You’re used to a routine, a presence in all the little places that you took for granted, and of course a connection that was once there - and when it’s completely gone it is emotionally hard to get used to. I’m imagining this feeling times a million for Vanessa. Just devastating.
Condolences to everyone that lost loved ones. This is such a sad occasion. But because I felt Kobe’s parents and siblings were not really acknowledged during their time of grief, I just want to pause and send them my love and prayers. Pam & Joe Bryant lost a son and grand daughter. His sisters lost a brother and niece. They too are in my thoughts and prayers. There would’ve been no Kobe without his mom and dad bringing him into this world. 😢🙏
Jen and perhaps one day they will tell their story. I just find it ironic that his relationship with his parents declined once she enters into the picture. I don’t care what beef you got going on ... I found it disrespectful that the memorial was not planned in a way that showed Kobe’s life before the NBA and growing up or take a moment to acknowledge Kobe’s parents and GiGis grandparents ... it’s all weird to me ... first things first ... “honor your parents” no matter what and that’s what should’ve been done especially considering they are laying the son they loved and raised down to permanently rest & knowing more about Kobe is something fans that loved him were anticipating
Sorry to say this and dont put it in the wrong context, but watch the wife rise in a mysterious Fame and spotlight over this, I saw a symbolism on her stage prescence, and I hope to God I am wrong. But watch this unfold and If i am right, I will explain further to you, what has happened. Please save this message and we can revisit after a few months. But you arr right known of his family ie..siblings and parents mentioned, but as the months go on the answers will be clear.
Have a Fab day and speak very soon.
Jen im a fan and was looking forward to learning more about Kobe and his parents and siblings memories. Usually at a memorial that’s the point. But anywho....we’re not talking about grand parents were talking about Kobe’s parents and his siblings which are his core family before Vanessa was even in the picture. If this unfortunate circumstance was in reverse and Vanessa would have died, I’m certain Kobe would have paid her parents the proper respect publicly that’s just how he rolls. He is a team player and thoughtful of others feelings and emotions and at the end of the day, as a fan, and also a caring human being, I’m just really hurt and disappointed that his parents were not recognized and honored and acknowledged. It was disrespectful peridot and there’s nothing anyone can do to convince me otherwise. When grieving and dealing with memorials or funerals you always try to be inclusive and mindful of others hurting and especially the parents of the deceased and if you look at their body language you could tell Pam and Joe were hurting.
Jen I mentioned grandparent as an add on to
Make the point that they had a double loss but my main point has always been the parents and siblings should have been acknowledged. Why do you have a problem with that? Should Kobe’s parents and siblings just be forgotten?
Man, this whole thing has been tearing me up. This one of those celebrity deaths that just will genuinely hurt forever.
just SAD, man! i know vanessa never thought in a million years kobe and gianna would go out like that!
I love how Amanda sports different African/Black hairstyles. She is a great role model.
rest in peace to everyone who lost their lives in this tragic event. I wish strength for their families to stay strong and move forward.
I found myself crying throughout her speech. Seeing a mother grieve her child hit close to home for me, as I’ve seen that grief with my own eyes. Praying for all the mothers out there who’ve lost their children. May God comfort you and ease your pain.
Grief is something terrible to deal with Vanessa is very strong to be able to stand up there and speak clearly!! I hope she continues to find peace 🙏🏽
Vanessa was beautiful, graceful, and courageous through it all. I pray for all the families effected from this.
Spoken perfectly. Thank you for these beautiful words🤍
Tamera is just so beautiful. I love her. She speaks with such elegance and love. I have loved her and her sister from day one. And we are cancers. July 9 here and they are July 6. Man she could talk forever and I’d love to listen.
so many mothers go through exactly what Vanessa has gone through it sucks and it's unbearable sad but as a mother you find the strength to push through for your other kids or for the rest of the family this shows how loved and how strong Kobe family is the ceremony was very emotional and it speaks to so many people in the world who has lost family life is short we don't know how long we have embrace the life you have while you can
My heart aches for Vanessa and her daughters. I’m just an average person but if she or her daughters needed me I would be there in a hot minute. Rest in Paradise Kobe and Gigi...you will never be forgotten.
What about his prints and sisters!
I’m glad she has a good support system around her and hope the other families do too.
Rest in peace kobe and Gigi!! I just wish I heard his parents talk or mentioned. At the end he was a son before a husband or father! Without them he wouldn’t be Kobe Bryant we all know!!
A S yes it seemed strange
Same!!!!!
You don’t know if they even wanted to speak. It’s certainly not easy with the whole world watching. So we really shouldn’t assume
I cried throughout the whole speech. It’s heart breaking to hear but even more hard to watch. Vanessa has strength like I’ve never seen in my life. I pray for her every night because that is so heavy to live with. Rest in eternal peace Gigi and Kobe. 😢😢😢😢💜💛💜💛
I cried with Mrs. Bryant. My heart breaks and goes out to her and daughters.
A lot of ppl don't realize that as hurt and broken as this woman is right now she still has 3 more babies she has to be strong for. Don't be fooled when you see her smile or post pics and videos everyone has their own way of grief. If she falls weak before their (family) eyes they too will fall weak. I can't imagine the strength it's taking out of her to get up another day know that apart of her is gone...She is now handed a whole new role and level of responsibility that was never hers, to begin with. She's now the breadwinner of her household, mother and father to the kids, the foundation that holds it all together. It's not easy but she is definitely a pillar of strength and God has them and her.
May everyone’s memory always be a blessing RIP KOBE AND GIGI ❤️❤️❤️😍🙏😍
Well said Tamera! So touching
The speeches and Kobe's illustration movie at the end, hit me right in the feels. I bawled my eyes out.
Grief is complex mixed emotions and its hurts very painful.I admire Vanessa for her 💪 strength
Wow his wife did amazing job on speaking out. Rip kobe
Love to Kobe Bryant families ❤❤❤🇯🇲
That last part where she says were still the best team killed me broke my heart and everytime i watch that i Immediately start to cry i cant hold back 💔
I couldn’t even watch it. Tears just kept flowing.
I feel this so much. I lost my son after birth he should be 2 this year. It's a continued grief journey. I will never get to see him grow up
Grief is so unexplainable.... God bless all involved.
tamera is 100% right! grief is such a complex feeling! life is so hard. kobe and gigi will meet with the rest of their family one day.
So heartbreaking I pray that she and the others who lost their family members find strength and peace. The young lives lost is horrible .
Yes you can, u find that strength. I lost my fiance my best friend my soulmate to brain cancer, he leaves his family but more our 8 year old daughter. I had to go up and say a few words in his wake... I didn't think I could do it,but u feel such an honor to have had them shared their time with u and loving u . It just wouldn't feel right if u didn't speak. I love you Alex miss u always 🌺so does azalea 🌺RIP 🙏 1989-2019
She’s actually just holding up for now because she had no choice but to be strong. That mantle of strength will get too heavy. I just hope and pray that she is surrounded by people who are people of Integrity and true love for her and her babies. She will need someone to catch her when the real grief kicks in. What we saw is a woman in love with her family even in tragedy. She will honor and protect them. The best thing for her would be a someone to tell her she is safe and means it. And allow her to really grieve WITHOUT JUDGMENT!!
I felt soo somber watching. I also enjoyed the short moments where comedic relief was added. When the camera would pan to Kobe's family bloodline i.e siblings, mom and dad I seen how heartbroken they too looked. I found it odd how ONLY Shaq mentioned them. However, death is sudden and always seems too soon. Praying for everyone involved.
Vanessa is really a strong woman. I admire her strength.
This is something that happens to so many people. Me being one of them. I feel sorry for her loss and for so many other widows out there.
In times like these, when one is face to face with the sting of death, the only thing they can do press forward. We all say we could not do it be when doing it is the only thing in front of us, then we do it. The key is believing that God is with us every step of the way and truly I believe only God is carrying Vanessa through this season of her life. It is extremely hard, sad and difficult but I know in my heart, she and the girls are going to be just fine. God would not have given her this mountain if she was not built for it. God knew, Vanessa Bryant could journey through this and that is why she IS doing it. May God himself sustain her and continue to comfort her heart...Amen! Blessings Vanessa!
I was in tears for Vanessa and for the other daughters because this is a tragedy that i don't know if they will ever accept or even fully comprehend but she has to be strong for them as difficult as it may be for her right now. For her to stand up and speak through her grief and share precious intimate memories that she had with Kobe and Gigi was just phenomenal and she and her family will be in my prayers as well as the other victims families for a long time
