Actor Cory Monteith passed away last summer due to his struggle with drug abuse and it’s no secret it left his girlfriend and Glee co-star Lea Michele in pieces.

After giving it some time, Lea has opened up about the tragedy and how she’s been able to deal with losing Cory in an interview for the December issue of ELLE magazine. Lea touched on spending time with Glee guest star Kate Hudson, finding the strength to keep going, and trying to use her unfortunate situation to help others.

Check out some highlights below.

On Kate Inviting Her Over:

“I called [Kate Hudson] and said, ‘I don’t know where I’m going to go because my house is swarmed [with reporters].’ She was like, ‘Oh, you’re going to stay at my house.’ Like it was nothing. No one knew I was there. I’ll never really be able to thank her, truly, for what she did for me.”

On Using His Passing To Help Others:

“I never thought I would be in this position in my whole life. Now that I am in this position, you can choose to rise, and that’s what I’m going to try to do. I know that Cory would want nothing more than for me to take this situation and use it to help people.”

On Finding The Strength To Keep Going:

“It’s very hard. And you have to be very strong to come out of this alive, but I think by doing the best for myself, by showing that you don’t have to lose yourself, maybe someone else will feel some sort of strength or comfort.”

We’ve kept Lea in our prayers and we’re so glad to see her making it through this. Check out some of her gorgeous photos from the ELLE spread below.

Lookin’ good girl.
