It was her first time in front of a large crowd after months out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That night, addressing an audience, Parton admitted to experiencing health challenges, as well as the loss of Carl. She told the crowd, \u201cI\u2019ve had a few little health issues, and we\u2019re taking good care of them.\u201d \u201cAll is good. It didn\u2019t slow me down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Dollywood season also kicked off a new attraction, the $50 million NightFlight Expedition roller coaster. Parton co-owns the theme park, which has been a cornerstone of the Pigeon Forge community since the 1980s.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><strong>Dolly Parton Opened Up About Grieving Carl Dean While Juggling Health Issues<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Beyond the health battles, Parton has been open about the emotional weight of losing Carl Dean, who passed away in March 2025 at the age of 82 after a long illness. The two had been together for nearly six decades, marrying in 1966 after meeting outside a Nashville laundromat in 1964.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Parton said she needed to recover after his death, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. She said she was \u201cworn down\u201d and \u201cworn out\u201d as she grieved the death with her health issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Dolly Parton, in another interview, expressed her peace knowing that Carl was no longer suffering, yet she spoke of the great loneliness he had left behind. Fitting in has been a big adjustment for a woman who had been living with someone for almost 60 years.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><strong>Insiders Say Carl\u2019s Death Hit Parton Harder Than Anyone Realized<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Dolly Parton at Los Angeles premiere of 'Joyful Noise'\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1159\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/9kAgsU0HkLO9D0LomHdJ3w--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTE0NDk7Y2Y9d2VicA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/theblast_73\/9d10ba49c025447e74d1b54e878b2961\"\/><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Lumeimages \/ MEGA<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/insider-shares-emotional-dolly-parton-223000049.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:The Blast;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;The Blast&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">The Blast<\/a> has previously reported that people who knew Parton said that life was heartbreaking without Carl Dean. The insider said the singer\u2019s grief affected her physically, as she stopped eating properly, and some of her former health care regimens were neglected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Another source alleged that it was the first time in decades that Parton really slowed down.
