As the anniversary of the late rapper’s death approached, London opened up on a January episode of thePEOPLE Every Daypodcastabouthow she’s coped since the tragedy.
“I also don’t want to give a misconception that I’m at peace and I’m walking around on a cloud,” London toldPEOPLE Every Dayhost Janine Rubenstein. “I have to wake up with the intention of this every day because there are days I don’t want to, and I’m like angry about it. And that’s what healing is. It is up and down, side to side, all over the place. You know what I mean? And with each new level, there’s something else.”

“And I wish he was here, so it’s really a choice,” London continued. “And so I’m making a choice every day, but I don’t wanna give off this perception that you know, ‘Oh, everything’s all flowers…’ But I think if you make the choice and that you’re intentional with how you would like to show up in life, it could be more gentle than harsh.”
Last year, Hussle wasimmortalized on Hollywood Boulevardon Aug. 15. The ceremony was held on what would’ve been the late rapper’s 37th birthday.
