She shared that it was ‘outside surreal and horrible’ when she grabbed her late husband’s ashes. However, there was a sense of light and optimism in Kloots. “A good friend of mine said some great advice: ‘look at it if you have it with you now,'” said Kloots, “which is a really nice way to look at it.” She went on to give tips to fans and others on what they can do to help friends and family when they are sad.
