Country singer Kellie Pickler broke her silence six months after her husband, Kyle Jacobs, died by suicide in the couple’s Nashville, Tennessee, home on February 17.

“One of the most beautiful lessons my husband taught me was in a moment of a crisis, if you don’t know what to do, ‘do nothing, just be still,’” Kellie, 37, told People on Thursday, August 17. “I have chosen to heed his advice.”

The American Idol alum continued, “Thank you to my family, friends, and supporters, for the countless letters, calls, and messages that you have sent my way. It has truly touched my soul and it’s helping me get through the darkest time in my life. As many of you have told me, you are all in my prayers.”
