More than two years after his death<\/a>, Chester Bennington<\/strong>‘s widow is beginning a new chapter. <\/p>\n

Talinda Bennington<\/strong>, who was married to the Linkin Park<\/strong> frontman at the time of his passing in July 2017, announced she is engaged on Friday. In a heartfelt post shared to her Instagram, Talinda made a point to acknowledge Chester’s indelible place in her heart. <\/p>\n

“I am overjoyed to announce my engagement to my angel on earth, Michael F,” she wrote. “I am here to tell you that you can find love after tragedy. That a death of a soulmate does not mean the death of you. My family, friends and my Linkin Park brothers welcome him to the family with open arms. I will continue to honor Chester and continue my life’s mission to make his passing not in vein.” <\/p>\n

Chester and Talinda were married for more than a decade and had three children together, a son and two daughters. Following the rocker’s suicide<\/a>, Talinda launched the 320 Changes Direction<\/a> initiative, a resource for friends and family members of those struggling with mental health, mental illness and addiction. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Her post continued, “To all suicide loss survivors, you CAN be happy again. You CAN have space in your heart for grief, joy, happiness, sadness and love.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Bennington’s Linkin Park bandmate Mike Shinoda<\/strong> shared his support for Talinda, commenting, “I’ve already congratulated you both in person, but congrats again, ha! All our love and support!” <\/p>\n

On the second anniversary of Chester’s death<\/a>, Talinda and other loved ones paid tribute on social media. <\/p>\n

According to TMZ<\/a>, Talinda’s fianc\u00e9 is a Los Angeles County firefighter and he proposed in April. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
