Kathie Lee Gifford, the legendary television personality known for her outspoken and outgoing personality, recently went through a period of silence and retreated from the public eye.
The loss of her husband of 29 years, Frank Gifford, as well as the death of her mother, Joan Epstein, left her seeking solace and healing. Today, Gifford finally opened up about the source of her strength during this difficult time in a candid interview.
What many of us probably wondered about was his unwavering faith in God. In the interview, Gifford bravely shared her deepest thoughts about loss, loneliness, and the power of faith. She spoke about her shocking moment in August 2015 when she learned that her husband had passed away. Instead of giving in to her grief, she focused on believing that Frank was now in heaven.
“On a beautiful Sunday morning, I found my husband passed on to Heaven… He saw Jesus, and Jesus took his breath away,” Gifford revealed.
After her husband’s death, Gifford turned to her mother for support. However, just two years later, she tragically lost her mother as well. With her children living far away, Gifford faced a new level of loneliness she had never experienced before.

But Gifford discovered that she was never truly alone. She found comfort in the unwavering presence of God by her side. It was through God’s love that she found the strength to carry on and overcome the loss of her loved ones, knowing that they were now in a better place.
Gifford’s openness about her faith in this remarkable interview is truly inspiring. Let us join together in sending prayers her way, as she continues to navigate through life with grace and resilience.
