Rory Feek: ‘The Holidays Have Been a Roller-Coaster For My Bride’

While the recent holiday season may have brought some “wonderful moments” for Joey + Rory’s Joey Feek, it also brought “some deep pain that the morphine just couldn’t seem to touch.”

Her husband Rory shared another update with fans via his blog, This Life I Live, and admitted “the holidays have been a roller-coaster for my bride.”

“Though she managed a smile most of the time, Joey’s heart was heavy and she was feeling some things she hadn’t before … A sadness. A fear of the unknown. And even some anger – not at God, just at her situation I suppose,” Rory wrote. “It’s not easy for her to be as excited about what the new year holds in store as it was last year.”

Now that the holidays are over, Rory said Joey said “she’s seen the light, and she’s over that now.”

He went on to thank his dear friends (and fellow songwriters) Bill and Gloria Gaither for continuing to help bright Joey’s days.

“Thank you Bill.  Thank you Gloria.  Thank you everyone,” he wrote. “We are all seeing the light.”

Joey, 40, has been under hospice care since early November. Throughout her battle with terminal cancer, she’s remained positive and her story has continued to inspire millions.
