Mourning: Iman Abdulmajid has shared a meaningful Instagram quote on Wednesday as she continues to mourn her husband David Bowie one month on from his death
Iman, who married Bowie in 1992 and shares a daughter Lexie with the late star, has kept out of the spotlight since David's death but has recently returned to her social media, sharing a number of Instagram quotes.
The model was seen in public for the first time since David's death a week ago as she stepped out in New York to walk her dog Max.
In Bowie's last days, the model posted a series of emotional updates on her account, including one post which read: 'The struggle is real, but so is God.'
Alongside her poignant quotes, Iman also led tributes to another late star this week - stylist and hairdresser Teddy Antolin, who has died aged 68.

The sad news, which emerged on Tuesday, will have particular resonance for the model given he personally introduced her to the Starman singer more than 25 years ago.
Details of the loss were announced on Bowie's Facebook page, via a heartfelt message which read: 'It is with sadness that we report the news that Teddy Antolin has passed away. Teddy was a former hairdresser for David on several tours, video shoots and photo sessions.'
He had previously accompanied Bowie on several world tours and remained close friends with the happy couple.
Previously, in an interview with the Sunday People, Teddy spoke of his motivation for matching Bowie with Iman. 'David was very lonely. It was so sad – all this hard work David did each day and then he was alone.

'I didn’t want to speak to Iman at first. I thought it would be so cliché if I say ‘How beautiful you are’ but you end up doing that and we started talking and a light bulb went on.'
He then added that he begged David to attend a birthday party in NYC, where he knew Iman would be attending.
'The minute she walked in all the attention went to her, she just claimed the room. She had a big smile and her and David looked at each other and it was love at first sight, you could feel the electricity, something went off.
'They spent the night talking to each other like they had known each other forever. They were looking at each other like, ‘Now what, shall we skip dessert and go home?’'.
