She continued, "This year, when I woke up, I felt grateful—or griefful, if you will. Grief has infused my life with a sense of appreciation I had never had before. It makes me soak up every moment of joy as if it were my last."
"I laughed at myself, then cried more because I was laughing. I felt my mom's presence like the warmth of the sun on your skin on a hot summer day. The kind of warmth where you unknowingly close your eyes and take a slow breath through your nose and grin," she went on.
She concluded, "I miss her every day but the cliche is also true--she is with me every day; she infuses my joyful moments with even more joy. As I tell my son, she lives in the stars, and she damn sure makes my life sparkle. Sending my love to all my griefers out there. And I'm hoping everyone can feel a little sparkle of grief among all the feelings grief inevitably brings."
As per Deadline, Fisher passed away on December 27, 2016, at the age of 60, following a medical issue aboard a trip from London to Los Angeles. (ANI)
