Lea, 26, is positively inspiring. Since her co-star and boyfriend Cory, 31, was found dead in his Vancouver hotel room on July 13. It must be quite hard to imagine that in just a few weeks, Lee has to be back on set prepping for scenes as the resolute and drop-dead -talented Rachel Berry, who has been in love with the quarterback-turned-glee-coach, Finn Hudson - played by her tragically deceased boyfriend Cory Monteith - for Glee's entire series.

Lea was completely and utterly inconsolable over the death of her boyfriend Cory, and can't even get out of bed. After Naya Rivera broke the news that Glee would resume on August 5, fans wondered if Lea would be ready to return so soon, but she went back even sooner!

Lea, continuing brilliant work as Rachel Berry on 'Glee' must seem like the hardest thing to do after losing the love of her life, Cory Monteith.

First day of glee today..And at my first wardrobe fitting for Rachel Berry for Season Five! I've missed her so much❤

This is her second positive tweet, as on July 31 she wrote, "Spending the day surrounded by great friends.. Hope you all are having a good day.. Sending lots of love to you all.."

She also thanked her many, many Glee fans for their support, and she remembered Cory with a touching picture.

"Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support," the star tweeted to her 3.5 million+ followers July 29. "Cory will forever be in my heart."

Ultimately Lea Michele is coming back to 'Glee' without Cory Monteith. Finn and Rachel spent most of last season estranged, but their love for each other never really died, and at the end of the season, Finn told Rachel that she was his "endgame," no matter how long it took.

When Glee ended that fourth season, there's no way Lee thought she'd lose Cory, the man she believed she'd spend the rest of your life with.

Even though Cory struggled with substance abuse, she never stopped supporting him. she were the one who insisted he go back into rehab when she discovered he had gone back to his destructive behavior. She went to Glee creator, Ryan Murphy and he helped her stage an intervention, according to Us Weekly.

Cory, 30, voluntarily entered a rehab facility on March 31, and on March 28 he tweeted a metaphor about seeing things clearly.

"Such a beautiful day! truly seeing the forest for the trees. #gratitude," tweeted Cory on March 28.

How interesting! Perhaps this was the moment that Cory decided to check himself into rehab and to battle his demons once and for all.

She later thought he was recovering, and doing well when he went to Vancouver with friends and she felt comfortable going on a girls-only vacation to Cabo San Lucas with her friend and jewellery designer, Jennifer Cohen.

But now we know that no matter how devoted she were to being Cory's guardian angel, he fell in with the wrong crowd and tragically overdosed on a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol.

It is great to see Lea throwing herself into work, and being excited to step into Rachel Berry's shoes, this is so soon for her to being work.

We wish her and 'Glee' all the best!
