**Dolly Parton Gives Update on Her Health, Reveals How She Coped with Husband's Death** Country music legend Dolly Parton has given her fans an update on her health after a period of speculation about her well-being. The singer, who is also the owner of the popular Dollywood theme park in Tennessee, confirmed that she is in good health and has been taking care of her physical and emotional needs. Speaking at the opening of Dollywood on March 13, Dolly revealed that she had been feeling overwhelmed and worn down after the loss of her husband, Carl Dean, last year. She attributed her struggles to a combination of her grief and some underlying health issues, including kidney stones that she had in September. However, Dolly assured her fans that she is now in a good place, both physically and emotionally. She attributed her recovery to taking time to focus on her spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. "I just got myself kind of where I needed to build myself back up," she said. The singer also set the record straight about her love life. After her husband's passing, fans speculated about her plans to date again. However, Dolly made it clear that she is not interested in dating anyone else. In a humorous tone, she joked that her husband Carl Dean is waiting for her at the pearly gates and would not approve of her bringing someone else. Dolly's update comes after a period of speculation about her health, with some fans expressing concern after her sister, Freida Parton, shared a cryptic Facebook post asking for prayers for Dolly. However, the singer has now put those concerns to rest, confirming that she is in good health and is focusing on her work and personal life.
