Last year, Kelis — who has three kids: sons Knight, 13, and Shepherd, 6, as well asdaughter Galilee, 2 — opened up to PEOPLE about her grieving process following Mora’s death.
At the time, she recalled making a conscious choice to “accept” the difficult circumstances of his diagnosis. “It was out of our hands from the beginning,” she said. “We’re just grateful for what we had. It’s part of life.”
“It doesn’t change the fact that I’m heartbroken… but it does change how I choose to approach it,” detailed Kelis. “It reminds you how short time is, and how we don’t have any control. I want to control what I can control — how I treat the people around me. I’m really big on celebrating people when they’re here. I don’t feel like it’s as useful when they’re gone.”
