“He was the best friend I’ve ever had, but Kurt and I were only married for three years, and now I need to have my own life,” she added. “I’m always ‘the widow,’ and that drives me nuts. That money has been cursed since the day it started to come in.”

She looked down at her shoes. “It’s also that it’s not really my money,” she said. “I don’t want Kurt Cobain to buy me shoes anymore. I want to buy my own shoes — lots of them.”
