Singer Kelly Rowland arrives at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles August 28, 2011.
Christian Post Report – Kelly Rowland, the singer formerly of Destiny’s Child, is opening up about how her new family is helping her grieve the loss of her mother.
The 34-year-old singer’s mother Doris Rowland Garrison, 66, died last year. The tragic news came just weeks after Rowland gave birth to her first child, Titan Jewell Weatherspoon.
In a whirlwind year, Rowland also married her manager and husband Tim Witherspoon in 2014. While on “The Meredith Vieira Show” recently, Rowland spoke about her husband and son helping her deal with the loss of her mother.
“It’s definitely been a challenge. My husband says, ‘You know babe you should think about it as a new normal,'” Rowland told host Meredith Vieria. “I think I’ve done that but I’m so blessed to have my son. I don’t think I’ve had the time to really really grieve but I feel her presence often.”
Rowland went on to describe instances when she felt her mother was present with her son.
“Something that happened the other day Titan was laughing and I was like ‘what is this boy laughing at’ because it was such a belly filled giggle. He was looking up and smiling and laughing,” Rowland recalled on the talk show. “I was like, that’s mom. I just know she is always near and I am just so grateful for that.”
Despite her loss, Rowland believes there was a divine plan in place saying, “God gave me an angel, he took one of my angels away but he still has her covering and hovering over us and I’m so blessed for that.”
After the loss of her mother, Rowland released a heartfelt statement to fans about losing the important woman in her life.
“It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my mother, Doris Rowland Garrison. She was an incredible soul who made countless sacrifices so that I could become the woman — and now mother — I am today,” Rowland said in a statement obtained by E! News. “We humbly appreciate all the love and support and only ask for privacy during this difficult time.”
