Parton opened up about her decision on Wednesday while on Khloé Kardashian's "Khloé in Wonder Land" podcast. She shared that the grief she is facing with her husband's death has affected her creative process for writing new music.

The 41-year-old TV personality had asked Parton if she ever suffered from writer's block. Parton responded by sharing that her husband's death has made it exceptionally hard.

"My husband passed away three months ago...[there are] several things I've wanted to start, but I can't do it. I will later, but I'm just coming up with such wonderful, beautiful ideas. But I think I won't finish it," she expressed.

"I can't do it right now because I've got so many other things that I can't afford the luxury of getting that emotional right now. So, there are times like that, things like that that will start here a little bit, but I'll write something else, though, if it comes. So, I'm just putting that all on hold," Parton continued.

As CBN News reported, Parton and Dean had been together for 60 years before he passed away on March 3 in Nashville, Tennessee. Dean had avoided the spotlight during his famous wife's lifelong career, but he served as an inspiration for her, including her timeless song "Jolene."

Parton told CBN News in a 2016 interview that her husband was a gift from God.

"I think my husband and my relationship was just really a God-send," Parton said. "God knew I was going to need somebody like him if I was going to be doing all this crazy stuff."

"But He knew he (Carl) was going to need somebody like me because Carl is pretty much a loner and he really doesn't want to be with anybody but me," she added.

The couple's love story began 62 years ago when they met outside a Wishy Washy Laundromat. Parton was 18 years old and had just moved to Nashville.

"I was surprised and delighted that while he talked to me, he looked at my face (a rare thing for me)," Parton described the meeting. "He seemed to be genuinely interested in finding out who I was and what I was about."

She honored what would have been their 59th wedding anniversary this year by visiting the Ringgold, GA, church where they wed.

The Grammy Award-winning artist emphasized to Kardashian that her hiatus from music is not permanent because songwriting has always brought her joy.

"Everything begins with a story or a song... I think that's one of the reasons I love to write, because I feel like I'm so connected to God right then," she said.

Parton says she does plan to pay tribute to her husband through music, but for now, she is cherishing his sweet memories.

"I'm having to really go through a lot trying to figure out how to be without him because I was with him for so long," she told Entertainment Tonight. "I'm holding up, I'm doing as well as one can after 60 years, being with and loving somebody."

"There's a part of me that's happy he's at peace and at rest," she said. "But then of course, there's that part of me that will miss him forever and long for him every day. For the rest of my life, I'm sure," she added.

Parton told several news outlets she is holding onto the hope of Heaven and being reunited with her long-time husband one day.

"I am a person of faith, even though I lost him on this earthly plane, and I will miss him every day, having to learn new patterns, new habits, but knowing that I will see him again and knowing that he's in God's arms now and not mine," she recently said in a Fox News interview.
