As we come up on the one-year anniversary of Kobe Bryant’s tragic death, his widow Vanessa Bryant is looking to her late husband for words of solace to help get her through. On Jan. 26, 2020, Kobe and daughter Gianna died in a helicopter crash that claimed nine lives altogether, and Vanessa has been open ever since about the depths of her grief and how important it is to her that Kobe’s memory lives on in her family. She’s now shared another throwback video of Kobe speaking words of wisdom on how to be happy, and saying again how much she misses the love of her life.
