Kathie Lee Gifford Opens Up About Her Chronic Loneliness Before Moving to Nashville
Kathie Lee Gifford opened up to USA Today about her move from Connecticut to Nashville, and she got very real.
“I moved here because I was dying of loneliness,” she said.
Of course, the former Today host spent over a decade in Connecticut, where she raised her two kids, Cody, 29, and Cassidy, 26 — and also said goodbye to her husband Frank Gifford, who died in 2015.
However, empty nest syndrome became exceptionally real for Kathie.
“That huge beautiful memory-filled home was like a morgue to me,” she added. “Here’s the bad news — I’m a widow, an orphan, and an empty nester. The good news is, I have the freedom of a widow, an orphan and an empty nester.”
“I’ve got all the time to spend my days writing,” she said on her new venture in Nashville writing religious films. “I’m having the life I could’ve only ever dreamed of.”
Good for you, Kathie!
