It’s impossible to imagine the pain and sorrow Vanessa Bryant is going through with the loss of her husband, Kobe, and daughter, Gianna. They, along with seven others, died in a helicopter crash last Sunday.

Wednesday night, she made her comments since the tragedy, posting on Instagram.

That was incredibly eloquent and filled with love, something not easy to be under these circumstances.

One critical part of her comments came at the end, offering people a way to help.

To honor our Team Mamba family, the Mamba Sports Foundation has set up the MambaOnThree Fund to help support the other families affected by this tragedy. To donate, please go to MambaOnThree.org.

To further Kobe and Gianna’s legacy in youth sports, please visit MambaSportsFoundation.org.

One other thing to do, one other lesson from all of this: Go hug the ones you love and tell them how much they matter to you. None of us do that enough.
