Kurt Cobain's Suicide
The singer married the late Kurt Cobain, the frontman of the popular rock band Nirvana. In 1994, Love shared what was like after Cobain had taken his own life.
"He killed himself in his coat. I washed the blood off it. It's not even sentimental. I just washed one of my other coats too... I used to be able to talk to Kurt more, wherever he is. But now he's really gone. I used to feel like mourning him was really selfish because it would make him feel guilty. And the best thing to do was to pray for him and show him joy," said Love.
