"There are good days and there are really hard days, and I'm doing okay. I think we all are, but each day it feels a little better," Bure said.
According to the actress, it gets difficult whenever she's reminded of the late comedian not being able to celebrate good news, such as their "Fuller House" series heading to cable TV later this month.
"Just like the announcement of Fuller House today, it's like, 'Oh, but Bob's not here to share that news with us,'" she said. "It's all the reminders that make it tough."
Leaning On Her TV Family

On tough days, Bure finds comfort in her "Full House" co-stars and Saget's wife Kelly Rizzo, 42, as they share the same loss.
"It's been talking to my friends, talking to Kelly, talking to my Full House family," she shared. "The good thing is, we all want to keep his legacy alive, so I want to talk about Bob. I want to share things about Bob and share about the laughs and the good times, and that part feels comforting."
However, the "Christmas Town" star admitted she "can't watch the shows yet" as "it's hard for me to hear his voice. It makes me sad."
Bure continued, "So, the comforting [part] is remembering the good times and laughing and telling stories and thinking, 'Oh, Bob would've said this,' or 'Bob would've made this joke.' That feels really good," adding, "I will cherish every single moment and I'll just continue to remember them for the rest of my life."
Losing A Great Friend

Since his untimely death, Bure has expressed her grief numerous times on social media. In her January 11 post, she described her on-screen dad as the "lovable glue."
"Oh, Bob. Why’d you have to leave us so soon? We are all family, but you were the glue," she wrote. "The sticky, messy, squishy, sweet, lovable glue. My childhood is wrapped up in you, my formative teenaged years and the rest of adulthood."
She continued, "You taught me to feel deeply at such a young age. You were never afraid or ashamed to share your emotions, to cry, to love, to laugh and say it out loud. We’ve always been so deeply connected since the day we met when I was 10 years old. You weren’t just like a father, but one of my closest friends in life."
Growing Up With Bob Saget
Bure added, "This hurts like nothing I’ve ever felt before. I love you, I love you, I love you. You knew that. I knew that. But I have to say it again. I want one more hug. I want one more text that says, 'oh, btw, it’s me Bob' after a long rant. I want one more laugh. I want to roll my eyes at you one more time. I want you to tell me to watch something but then tell me maybe I shouldn’t because of my faith. You were always so protective of me, and cared about everything. And everybody. You were the best. You were… Bob."
He Died In Florida
Saget passed away on January 9 at the age of 65. He was found unresponsive inside his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida, just a day after he performed his stand-up set at nearby Jacksonville.
The "America's Funniest Home Videos" host died of a head injury. According to Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Stephany, MD, Saget's death was "the result of blunt head trauma" and not tied to any alcohol and drugs.
Saget’s Family Prevents Public Investigation
However, the actor's autopsy indicated he had severe fractures to the back of his head and around his eyes when he died. That said, his head injury could have resulted from a much more severe cause other than just hitting his head on the headboard.
As previously reported by The Blast, medical experts suspected that the skull fracture is “consistent with being hit by a bat, or falling as far as 30 feet."
Saget's -- his widow, Rizzo, and his three daughters, Aubrey, Lara, and Jennifer -- are against the idea and that they are stopping the release of his medical records to the public.
