He said he has been able to find comfort in a lifelong passion: Music.
“It was this really healthy, beautiful distraction for me. So I looked forward to it. When I was here, when I was home, music became this escape, because there’s this void in your life,” Kahn explained.
Kahn said he has been able to escape through a keyboard and a guitar.
