Caitlyn Jenner is sharing an update on her grief.
The 75-year-old has spoken publicly for the first time about the death of her friend Sophia Hutchins, who died in July in an ATV accident.
“Recently my good friend Sophia passed away in a tragic accident,” Caitlyn said during a recent appearance on Fox. “But for the last seven weeks, I’ve been dealing with death, and it’s so difficult.”
The Olympian then reflected on the August 27 shooting at Minneapolis’ Annunciation Catholic School, which killed students Fletcher Merkel, 8, and Harper Moyski, 10, and left many others wounded.
“So when this happened, it really hit me hard,” Caitlyn said of the devastating attack. “Because here I am dealing with my grief, and I just can’t even imagine parents who dropped their kid off at school and, like that father just said, ‘I’ll never get a chance to talk to him again.’ That is I just so horrible.”
She continued, “And I’ve been dealing with grief, and these people have a long road ahead of them, and they’re going to be dealing with grief.”
