In a tell-all interview with People, Eldridge revealed how his life has changed after her death.
Anna’s husband shared: “It keeps hitting me again.
“It’s going to be a lot different.”
He admitted having a difficult time processing “going back to our home with no Anna and without the girls.”
Eldridge closed: “It is going to be very lonely. It’s getting harder.”
Anna died about nine months after walking down the aisle.
GETTING MARRIED
In March, Anna and Eldridge tied the knot and said theirs “I dos” at a ceremony in Wilkinson County, Georgia, according to an official marriage certificate obtained by TMZ.
Sources close to the couple told the publication that the Mama June: From Not to Hot star expressed her desire to marry her partner after learning about her cancer diagnosis in January.
Anna wanted the wedding while she was “still feeling well enough to go through a ceremony.”
The WeTV star underwent chemotherapy at the time of her wedding.
Sources claimed the wedding included “close family and a camera crew recording footage” for the reality show.

The couple did not have any children, but the star has two daughters: Kaitlyn, 11, and Kylee, eight – the youngest from her previous marriage to Michael Cardwell.
HER DYING WISH
Eldridge is not the only one in Anna’s family sharing their grieving process.
In mid-December, Mama June uploaded a TikTok video and revealed revealed that her late daughter wished to be cremated.
The TV star said: “Hey guys. We said our final goodbyes to Anna today and I am emotionally, mentally spent.
“We went over to Pumpkin’s house and did a release with close family and her girls.”
She continued: “”That’s one thing Anna told us, she didn’t want to rot in the ground, she wanted us to carry her big chest around. And we are.”
“We all got one or two things, which I think is amazing.”
June concluded: “But we want to say that we appreciate each and every single one of y’all for your thoughts, your prayers, your well wishes, the thoughts and prayers for her kids as it is going to be rough and rougher every day.
“The pain does not get easier.”
THE FUNERAL
On December 13, The U.S. Sun shared photos outside of White Columns Funeral Home in Gordon, Georgia, where the funeral was held.
June cried alongside daughters Alana Thompson, 18, also known as “Honey Boo Boo,” and Lauryn Efird, 23, known as “Pumpkin.”
Alana’s boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, 21, was also in attendance as June was supported by her husband Justin Stroud.
