The heartfelt tribute struck a chord with followers, who shared their messages of love and support.
“Happy anniversary ❤️ thank you to you both to creating such a legacy & for making the world a better place. Everyone should be following in your footsteps,” one wrote.
“Happy Anniversary 💕 So glad you got to be with the one you love the most.”
“Happy anniversary, Terri! He is so proud of you!” commented another.
“Happy Anniversary, Terri. I wish you had had more time together.”
The moving anniversary post comes shortly after Terri spoke candidly about grief and healing during an episode of the Wiggle Talk podcast. In the interview, she offered words of comfort to others navigating loss, drawing from her own journey of mourning Steve.
“When they say time heals all wounds, it doesn’t, but eventually it changes it and it walks next to you,” she said.
“It’s always there and you have to acknowledge your grief, but it’s a companion rather than an all-consuming feeling.
“And if we can focus on that and focus on [how] there’s some grief you never really get over, it’s okay.
“You’re gonna be okay and your kids will be okay and the sun will shine again. It may not shine as bright, but it’ll shine again. So that’s what you have to hold on to.”
