Following Olivia Newton-John’s untimely death at the age of 73, her husband, John Easterling, has written a touching obituary.
Easterling is honoring the life of the late singer and actress, who was most famous for playing Sandy in the 1978 film adaptation of the musical Grease.
John Easterling Pays Tribute to his Wife
“Our love for each other transcends our understanding. Every day we expressed our gratitude for this love that could be so deep, real, and natural,” Easterling wrote on Instagram. “We never had to ‘work’ on it. We were in awe of this great mystery and accepted the experience of our love as past, present, and forever.”
He continued, “At Olivia’s deepest essence, she was a healer using her song, words, and touch mediums. She was the most courageous woman I’ve ever known.”
Easterling ended on a positive note despite his loss: “Even now as her soul soars, the pain and holes in my heart are healed with the joy of her love and the light that shines forward.”
He also expressed appreciation for the outpouring of support following the news. “Our family deeply appreciates the vast ocean of love and support that has come our way,” he wrote.
The couple tied the knot back in 2008. The two of them crossed paths in the early 1990s, but it wasn’t until the early 2000s that they started dating. Newton-John and Easterling, a business owners in the natural health field, became friends because they were both interested in holistic aids. The performer’s husband reportedly grew some of her medical marijuana to help with her cancer symptoms, as she revealed to PEOPLE in 2019.
Newton-John died after a 30-year battle with breast cancer, and many of her former coworkers, including John Travolta, Rebel Wilson, and Mariah Carey, paid tribute to her.
