Speaking to her fans, she apologized to those who may be disappointed by the news. "I wished it worked, but it’s better to stay alive to tell the story. Please keep us in your prayers," she appealed.
The actress also opened up about the emotional toll the separation has had on her. “While I go about making people happy during the day, my pillow has been drenched in tears almost every night for the past 14 months,” she wrote. “But I gain strength from Christ, who loves me eternally and gave Himself for me.”
