"Love & gratitude," the post readBowie, who married Iman in 1992 after two years of dating, died on January 10, just two days after his 69th birthday following an 18-month-long battle with cancer, as previously reported by HNGN.

"THANK YOU," a post on Bowie's official Facebook page read after his death. "The family of David Bowie is currently making arrangements for a private ceremony celebrating the memory of their beloved husband, father and friend. They ask once again that their privacy be respected at this most sensitive of times. We are overwhelmed by and grateful for the love and support shown throughout the world."

Following her husband's death, Iman has posted a quote by French author Georges Duhamel, which read, "Sometimes you will never know the value of something, until it becomes a memory." She also shared an image saying, "The struggle is real, but so is God."

"Iman is doing well. She has been spending lots of time with her daughter and is keeping busy," a source told E! News last week. The source added that Iman has taken notice of the tributes made for her husband and is "very touched by all the support from friends, family and fans."
