Sunny Ozell is sharing her heart two weeks after saying goodbye to Patrick Stewart.

The singer posted a tender tribute to her late husband on Instagram. She paired it with a photo of the two of them hugging and smiling.

Grief plus gratitude

Ozell wrote that the sadness still hits her in waves. It has been 14 days since Stewart died after battling Alzheimer's disease along with Lewy body dementia.

There is another feeling mixed in, she said. She is "experiencing such deep, profound gratitude" too.

The reason? Nothing was left unsaid between them. Ozell wrote that they told each other how much they loved one another over and over during almost 20 years together.

A thank you to fans

She also thanked everyone who has sent kind words since his death.

Ozell signed off with a line about how he shaped her. "My heart had to grow to contain my love for Patrick," she wrote. She added that "he changed me for the better, forever."

Their love story

The pair started dating in 2008. They tied the knot in 2013.

Stewart died in late October at 86. Fans knew him best as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on "Star Trek: The Next Generation." He also played Professor Charles Xavier in the "X-Men" films.
