Almost three years after Heath Ledger’s tragic death, Michelle Williams is opening up about how she has coped with his loss. It was a shock to the world when the news broke of Heath's passing, a devastating blow to anyone but Michelle has fought the grief and worked to create a healthy and happy childhood for their daughter.
Enduring a difficult time with dignity and grace; if any actress could ever be considered a role model, Michelle Williams would be it!
Here’s what the 30-year-old actress shared with Nightline:
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.”
