She continued,
“I want to say this for people struggling with grief and heartbreaking loss. Find your reason to live. I know it’s hard. I look at my daughters and I try to push through that feeling for them.”
She ended with,
“Death is guaranteed but living the rest of the day isn’t. Find your reason.”

In a separate post, she requested the media be respectful when covering the upcoming one-year anniversary of the tragedy. She asked publications not to post footage of the crash site.
She wrote,
“I want to thank everyone that has handled their media coverage respectfully. ??To everyone else, please reconsider your “news story” and look at your footage through the eyes of their children , parents, spouse, siblings and family. Celebrate their lives, not the day they lost them. In preparation of 1/26, Scroll”
