Nearly a month after losing her husband, Kloots opened up in an Instagram post.
“Every day, as I process this loss more and more, I realize new things that are hitting me on a daily basis. Today it was that I lost our family. I lost my husband. Elvis lost his father, but today I realized we lost our family. 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.”
She added that she hoped to help others who can relate to her story, writing, ” If anyone else feels this pain, you are not alone. 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.”

After Cordero’s passing, Kloots captioned a photo of them on what was the one year anniversary of their move to L.A. She wrote, “One year ago today we moved to California. We were so excited for this new adventure. We had arrived in LA the day before his birthday and thought what a way to kick off your 41st year.”
Kloots continued, “I’ve done this my whole life- I think ‘one year ago’ or ‘6 months ago’ … I’m finding that I do it even more now because I can’t believe how much can and has changed in just one year. Everything is completely different. My life is so different. Elvis has grown so much and is completely different.”

On Sept. 17, 2020, what would have been her husband’s 42nd birthday, Kloots shared photos from the Broadway star’s last birthday.
“My angel in heaven is celebrating his birthday today,” Kloots began her post. “Happy 42nd Birthday baby ? I bet you’re having quite the celebration up there, probably singing to everyone. Elvis and I will be singing here on earth to you ❤️
She shared, “These pics and videos were from our party last year at our friends home in Laurel Canyon. It could not have been a more perfect party for him. He was at his favorite bar with his favorite friends in Laurel Canyon, his dream come true. Right after he blew out his candles I remember him saying, ‘Come on! I’m so blessed!'”
She concluded the caption, “I love you with all my heart. Happy Birthday ?”
