Two years after the car crash, Kris finally came to terms with the fact that it was time to build a new life. “I had a pivotal moment — it’s OK to grieve. It’s OK to miss him,” she told SWNS. “I realised I had to let go and love this new person now.” She began to look into becoming Brandon’s legal guardian at the same time she started divorce proceedings. “The judge asked me, ‘What happens if you get married again?’ I said, ‘He’s my family. I’ll love him and take care of him until the day I die,’ ” Kris recalled.
