Life After Bob Saget Kelly Rizzo / Instagram Recently, on a panel discussion, Rizzo expressed her grief and how she is navigating life without the Full House alum. "It's like, he's still my husband. It's not like, 'Oh, he's my former husband.' It's like ... the relationship is different now. It's just — it is what it is." Rizzo said, in the discussion with Amanda Kloots who also lost her husband to COVID in 2020. "I mean, I still talk to him and I have his pictures everywhere," she added. Amanda, who could relate to the situation also shared how she managed the loss of her actor husband, Nick Cordero, with whom she shared a two and half-year-old son, Elvis. She spoke about her decision to celebrate Cordero’s death anniversary instead of it being a “sad” time- " It doesn't have to be a day where I cry my eyes out. This can be a day where I get a cake and we sing happy new birthday to dad. So I think that definitely will become a tradition for us." "Elvis and I need to always celebrate this day as his new birthday and that he is still with us and he will always be with us,” Kloots added. Bob Saget will always be remembered for his impact on the comedy industry, and the laughter he brought to our faces and his family. RELATED: Bob Saget’s Widow Moves Out Of Their Shared Home
