In the public eye, Korda has always been a composed and confident athlete, but the pain from the loss of her dog revealed a more personal side of her, one that many could relate to.
“The bond we shared was incredible. I’ve learned that it’s okay to grieve. You don’t have to be strong all the time,” Nelly reflected. “It’s a reminder of how much love we can have for the animals in our lives.”
Though the pain of losing her dog is still fresh, Nelly has found solace in the love and memories they shared. “He brought so much joy into my life, and I’ll carry that with me forever,” she said, smiling through the tears.
