Rory Feek news: Says he's not ready to order headstone for Joey or go on stage without her

More than six months after his wife passed away, country singer Rory Feek says that he still hasn't completely come to terms with her being gone.

In a recent interview during an appearance on "CBS News Sunday Morning," Feek, who lost his wife, Joey, on March 4, said that he can't get himself to order a headstone for his departed wife.

Joey Feek, the other half of the country music duo Joey + Rory, died in March after a two-year battle with cervical cancer, which was discovered just weeks after she gave birth to daughter Indiana, now 2 years old, in 2014. Joey and Rory were married for 13 years.

Not long after her death, the late singer/songwriter was laid to rest at the rear of the family's Pottsville, Tennessee farm. Rory said that he had a bench added near Joey's grave so that he can come and sip his morning coffee with his wife, as they used to do when she was alive.

He told "CBS News Sunday Morning" that he doesn't know why he can't bring himself to have a headstone made for Joey, only that he can't.

"I don't know if it's that she's so simple, and a wooden cross is part of what she would like," he explained. "It probably has something to do with permanence. So, for now, I can sit out here and feel like it's — it's maybe just temporary. Although I know it's not."

The widowed country crooner also said that he isn't ready to get back to making music and performing without Joey. The duo's last album, "Hymns That Are Important," was released earlier this year and rose to the top of the country music charts. The couple was also nominated for a Grammy in the Best Country Duo/Group Performance category at this year's ceremony.

"I don't want to go on stage without her," Rory said. "That's what I'm thinking about right now. I just don't want to make music without her. But I also know time changes things. So I won't say never. It's just where I am today."

In the latest post in Rory's blog "This Life I Live," he revealed that he had been spending the summer working on "To Joey, With Love," a documentary about her journey and battle with cancer.

"To Joey, With Love" will be screened in select theaters on Tuesday, Sept. 20, and on Thursday, Oct. 6.
