Kloots has been open about her grief in the wake of Cordero's death.
"I lost my husband. Elvis lost his father, but today I realized we lost our family," she wrote in a heartbreaking note on Instagram last week. "We didn’t really even get to be a family. We won’t have those memories that I dreamed of since Elvis was born. This hit me hard. It stung like a horrible bug bite actually."
"The pain of everything has recently begun to stop me in my tracks. I’ll be doing something and I freeze, unable to think or move. My gut aches, it actually aches deeper than I ever knew it could," Kloots continued.
"Grieving is a journey we all do differently. Talking about it when I have the strength is helping me. I don’t always have the strength, sometimes I can’t talk at all. There are no answers. There is no right or wrong. I can only allow myself the time and the process and be honest with that."
In a tearful video posted on her Instagram Stories in July, Kloots got candid about mourning her husband and shared with followers that "grief is such a weird thing."
"When you're grieving and you're going through something like this, and you go through your day, you feel almost sometimes like 'Am I allowing myself to grieve?' " the Hurray For clothing designer explained. "I just start to question myself about everything that I'm experiencing right now."
"It oftentimes doesn't hit me until night when I'm going to sleep," she said about grief. "I don't think there is a right answer to grief or how someone grieves."
