Billie Lourd pays tribute to her mother Carrie Fisher
This Tuesday, December 28, 2022, fans were able to discover on Instagram a vibrant tribute from Billie Lourd to her mother Carrie Fisher, to whom she had paid tribute on her 66th birthday, on the occasion of the sixth anniversary of her death. She recounts a somewhat special December 25, 2022: that her children were lucky to have known their grandmother. “It’s been 6 years since my mom died (it’s like 2 but also 705 at the same time?). And unlike most other years since his death, this year has been the happiest two weeks of my life. Giving birth to my daughter and seeing my son meet her were the most magical moments I have ever experienced. But faced with the magic of life, the reality of mourning catches up with us. My mother is not there to meet them and is not there to experience this magic. Sometimes the magic moments can also be the hardest. This is grief. I wish my mom was here, but she’s not. So all I can do is hold on tighter to the magic, hug my kids a little tighter. Tell them a story about him. Share your favorite things with them. Tell them how much she would have loved them. For all those who experience the reality of grief alongside the magic of life, I am thinking of you. You are not alone. But don’t ignore your pain either. Life can be magical and painful at the same time“.
