While the family has had a tough time these last couple of months, they have found the strength to continue moving forward together — they even went on a Christmas RV trip. “Day two of our RV Christmas trip! Last week I could barely get out of bed,” she confessed. “Today, grounding on the river bedrock, watching the kids play, having @vanderjames family visit our campsite, getting a nap in the back of our RV With Gwen, fed the soul so hard. Got the bliss I asked for,” Kimberly said on Instagram.

It certainly looks like Kimberly and her family are slowly healing!
