As I had touched upon in an earlier post Cory Montheith (Lea Michele's fiance) died just a little while back from an unexpected drug overdose. This left Lea devastated, but she held strong and made her fist appearance to her audience since the tragic death at the Teen Choice Awards show to accept an award for him, and shared a heartfelt speech.
Now, only months later, Monteith's birthday is upon us and previous friends and cast mates everywhere posted pictures of him in remembrance and in celebration. Scrolling through the article about this was quite bitter sweet, but to see how well Michele took all of this, was even more inspiring. It was obvious during speeches that she got teary-eyed and a little choked up from time to time (which is extremely appropriate considering the circumstances) but the poise she presented deserves endless amounts of respect. She always seemed to know exactly what to say, and never got too caught up in the moment to break down in front of the world and mourn of her loss, which must have been one of the hardest tasks to face.
What also we surprising was to see her support she had towards the fans. Instead of talking of her experiences and talking about Cory she actually focused the attention to her fans making comments such as "We can all get through this together" and "I know Cory is looking down right now thankful for all of your love and support through these hard times". Her interviews seemed to match up as well, all very clear statements, never broken up. However, you could still feel the emotion being poured out in conversation.
As we mark the first birthday without Cory there is not a shadow of a doubt that the love and support of his family, close friends, and fans are not even shy of slipping away. What a great example of mourning and healing for such a great live lost. Lea Michele put is perfectly in her Instagram post "I know you're serenading everyone right now.. We love you Cory! Happy Birthday..❤️ "
