"I don't know if there's any cliché about how you're supposed to grieve," she opened up in an interview with Vogue. "I feel like in this situation, there is no right and wrong. We all need different things. For me, going back to work is the only way. I'm 28, but sometimes I think I've had everything in life that you could imagine." Vogue described Koltsov has Sabalenka's ex-boyfriend at the time he died.
She added: "People say that time helps, but in some ways I struggle more now because I know how much fun my dad would be having with my success."
Nowadays my fiancé will find me crying in bed in the evening because I'm watching Reels and there's something about a father, or old times," she continued. "The most sensitive videos for me are when I see people posting a family reaction to their kid athlete winning something, and I just imagine how my dad would react to me."
