Today Show presenter Bobbie Thomas has spoken out after the heartbreaking loss of her husband.
Bobbie confirmed that her husband Michael Marion died last week at the age of 42.
She said he has been suffering "problems involving several organ systems".
Bobbie shared the tragic news on Instagram, posting a trio of pictures of them together.
In one, she's leaning over his hospital bed to plant a kiss on his cheek and in another, the camera is focussed on their hands as they hold onto each other.
Bobbie wrote: "Nothing is normal. Maybe nothing will ever be normal again. For me, it won’t. My husband is gone.
"With all the fear, anger, and division going on in the world right now, it’s so easy to get upset about the lack of normalcy. But I beg you, everyone reading this, hold onto what you do have right now instead of focusing on what you don’t. One thing we all have is kindness. Absorb it, extend it, exhaust it. Because in the end, the ONLY thing that matters is love.
"If you’re lucky enough to have it, please appreciate it, every moment, every day. Especially during the hard parts. There will never be enough time and some of our forevers are much too short. As I type through tears, I embrace gratitude ... holding our precious son Miles and memories, of the time I did have with Michael, closer to my broken heart.
"Thank you all for the love and support you’ve shown us and our families. Please go hug the people you love."
Bobbie confirmed on the show today that her husband's death was not linked to the Covid-19 pandemic.
She explained further in a statement: "Michael worked hard to recover from his stroke and had made such progress that he was making plans to return to work. He landed in the hospital due to problems involving several organ systems, separate from his stroke of 18 months ago, and unrelated to COVID-19."
She was inundated with support from famous faces after sharing the tragic news of Michael's death.
Singer Fergie told her: "Bobbie I’m so truly sorry. Sending angel prayers to you and Miles"
Perez Hilton commented: "My deepest condolences. Strength to you! And light!"
