On Heath’s passing: “In a strange way, I miss that year, because all those possibilities that existed then are gone. It didn’t seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door or could appear behind a bush. It was a year of very magical thinking, and in some ways I’m sad to be moving further and further away from it.”

On handling the news: “I found meanings around the circumstances but the actual event itself I can’t find a, I can’t find it. I can’t find a meaning for it. I can find meanings in things and people and relationships that have sprung up and friendships that have strengthened. I found a lot of meaning in that but not in ‘why.’”

On giving their daughter Matilda a normal childhood: “It’s going well. We’re doing a good job of it. It is of more importance to me than anything in my life. I would rearrange anything to make that possible. If something starts to encroach on that it’s going to be removed from the equation.”

She's a classy lady, and I'm sorry for the loss both she and her daughter have felt.

The part about missing that first year after he died is something I can relate to. When someone that close to you dies, they don't fully go away for quite some time. I was eighteen when my mother died, and there was many a morning in that first year afterwards where I felt that I could wander into the living room and she'd be there. When you lose someone like that, there's the immediate pain of losing them, but the reality of it doesn't set in until much later.

And in some ways, that reality hurts much more than the initial shock and pain.

Sorry to hear about your mom. I imagine Michelle was also so focused on her daughter's well-being, she couldn't really focus on her own. She does seem like one of the few people in Hollywood that has their head on straight. I wish her nothing but the best.
