Curry said she does not want professional help at this time.

“People are telling me to seek out help.. with psychologists, doctors, people who have been through what I am facing at the moment ... but I know in my heart, that I actually have the answers myself,” she said.

Jaimi tragically died at age 33 in September after losing her battle with a long-term illness.

She was the eldest daughter of Curry and her ex-husband, Grant Kenny, who also share two other children together a daughter Morgan and son Jett.

Jaimi was laid to rest in a private sunset funeral in September.

“I know that one small thing leads to another, then leads to another until what’s achieved is a big thing. It’s just that I don’t know which small thing to start with is yet ......why is that so damn hard?”
