Elin Nordegren has done an exclusive interview with People.

She says: “I have been through the stages of disbelief and shock, to anger and ultimately grief over the loss of the family I so badly wanted for my children.” And: “I also feel stronger than I ever have. I have confidence in my beliefs, my decisions and myself.” She continues to take classes towards a college degree in psychology, and says her “main focus” is taking care of the kids and giving herself time to heal.
