The British-American actress claims that she felt as though “life had stopped in some way” and that “there wasn’t any way to recover” after the deaths of her mother Gaynor Churchward and father Ronnie Driver, who passed away 15 and 3 years ago, respectively.
When there’s a major rift or breach in your life, something happens. That fracture allows light to enter, and that always grinds something else. My parents’ deaths also led to the development of a remarkable relationship with life and being present that I had never experienced before.
She continues, saying that experiencing someone’s death truly helps you live in the moment.
It’s the legacy that both of my parents have left me, and it’s what I get to pass on to my son.
When we’re together, I give him my whole attention and my presence. I don’t think there is a better present, and I’m grateful every day that it was my parents’ final gift to me.
