Further, she shared that her faith in God helped her to get through the pain of separation.
"The thing that got me through this change in life, is number one, God. I prayed every day to help me have the strength to move one foot in front of the other, and continue on with what I'm supposed to be doing … and then with my team … and my friends, my family, my girlfriends."
She added,
"You know, you just got to have a great team of people around you that you love, and they love you, and I'm very blessed to have those people. I thank God for it all."
Despite the divorce, the couple remained friends and even shared pictures of meetings on the social networking sites. She thanked for all the sweet messages while sharing that she and Narvel have always been friends.
