‘Yesterday was three months since …’
On Tuesday, May 12, Kimberly Van Der Beek took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute to her late husband.
“Yesterday was three months since we lost @vanderjames,” she began.
“To say I’m heartbroken is a severe understatement,” she acknowledged.
“Words just don’t capture what grief is,” Kimberly wrote.
She shared: “The comforts of shock have worn off.”
“The reality is settling in… and I miss him,” Emily acknowledged.
“We all miss him,” she affirmed.
She and the late actor share six young children.
“Yet, there is a different kind of magic in the air,” Kimberly added.
“I feel him,” she expressed. “I know him more deeply.”

Kimberly then continued to expound upon this more mystically flavored side of grief.
She wrote: “And I trust that this is the path me and my family have always been intended to walk.”
At that point, her caption addressed fans and followers of her late husband, many of whom gave direct and tangible support to the Van Der Beek family in recent months.
