How Kathie Lee Gifford rediscovered happiness after heartbreak

Kathie Lee Gifford has a knack for looking on the bright side. Working through her grief over the loss of her husband of 29 years, Frank, in 2015 and her beloved mother this past September, the entertainer has stayed upbeat by finding ways to laugh. “I actually teased my friend the other day. I said, ‘It’s been a great week in the Gifford family—some phenomenal things have happened in my life and my children’s lives and nobody died.’ You’ve got to laugh about it.”

This perspective helped Kathie Lee use her circumstances to take better care of herself. “I had more time because I wasn’t concerned about Frank and his health,” she notes. “So I started going to the gym and making myself a little bit more of a priority.” And to keep her mind and body nourished as she heals, she relies on a few savvy tricks.
