The sudden death at 51 of James Gandolfini is intolerable.
My most defining moment was the death of my mother.
My mother, she passed away when I was 28 years old. She fought cancer for more than 10 years. She had breast cancer, and I miss her.
It's not natural to outlive your child. This has always been my greatest fear.
No parents deserve to see their only child die.
The death of my father is probably the biggest thing that I ever faced. Daddy and I were best friends.
Besides that, I felt guilty. I thought for some reason... I was alive, and Buddy and those boys were dead, and I didn't know how, but somehow I'd caused it.
Like so many of us, I'm brokenhearted about the death of the remarkably talented actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Nobody can prepare you for the loss of a parent.
