The "Glee" season 5 episode 3, "The Quarterback" is set to premiere on Fox later on this week and it seems like Lea Michele is reportedly still struggling to deal with her boyfriend Cory Monteith's death, so much so that she has decided to skip watching his tribute episode.

Following his tragic death the actress courageously returned back to the set of the hit series and began filming for the fifth season. She has since been praised for her strength and ability to hold it together following her loss.

According to Hollywood Life, while the other cast members are considering watching the episode together, sources close to Michele alleged that she will probably not join her costars to watch it.

An insider told the celebrity news site, "Lea most likely is going to skip watching the tribute episode as she will be way too emotional."

The source went on to say, "She feels that she lived it and doesn't need to continue to open the wounds of her heart by watching it."

Hollywood Life reported that Lea Michele is said to be extremely "proud" of the episode, but is understandably "extremely sad thinking about it."

In the episode, she will sing a slow cover of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love."

Jane Lynch revealed that filming Cory Monteith's tribute episode was 'brutal' for Lea Michele. On September 20th, she told PEOPLE magazine, "I know it's just been brutal for her."

She added, "I never lost a boyfriend when I was 26 years old. I can't tell her what her experience is. She's a champion, and she is a rock star, and she is getting through this."

A source close to the actress revealed, "Lea has been amazing."

"She is definitely very sad, but has gotten so much better and has really been strong. The whole crew and cast are now a family and Lea is leading us all back to a normal set life."
