Melinda French Gates opens up about divorce, "journey of healing"

Billionaire philanthropist Melinda French Gates reflected on her "journey of healing" following her painful and high-profile divorce from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates in an exclusive interview with "CBS Mornings" anchor Gayle King.

Melinda and Bill were married for 27 years before announcing their split last May. French Gates told King that she shed "a lot of tears for many days," and recalled lying on the carpet thinking, "How can this be? How can I get up? How am I gonna move forward?"

She said there were days that she was angry following the split. "That's part of the grieving process," she said. "You're grieving a loss of something you thought you had and thought you had for your lifetime."
