During the candid conversation, Kloots also opened up about grief after another fan inquired about the “hardest” part of the mourning process.

“I would say the times that it hits you,” she replied. “It comes at waves — different times, all the time — and you never know when. It’s the hardest.”

The mother of one went on compare her grief to “a backpack that you wear.”

“It’s always on you. It’s always a part of you,” she explained. “Somedays it’s heavier than others. Somedays you don’t even know it’s there. Somedays you do.”

For Kloots, she’s been leaning on family for support during this trying time. When asked if her relationship with Cordero’s relatives has changed since his death, Kloots revealed that they’ve “remained really close.”

Prior to his death, Cordero spent 13 weeks in the intensive care unit at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for complications related to COVID-19.

During his 95 days in the hospital, in which he spent 42 of them in a medically induced coma, the Tony-nominated actor faced a series of unpredictable complications that led to septic shock and required him to have his right leg amputated.
