Eight years after Carrie Fisher’s passing, actress Billie Lourd is sharing her candid thoughts on how her mother’s death has made her appreciate life more. On the eighth anniversary of Fisher’s death, Lourd took to Instagram with a heartfelt post.
In her caption, Lourd described the anniversary as an “emotional tropical storm” that brings both darkness and beauty. She likened her grief to having a broken leg that never heals perfectly, but finds ways to adapt and move forward.
Lourd expressed gratitude for the little moments in life and how her mother’s presence continues to inspire her through their children. She acknowledged the complexity of emotions she experiences, including grief, joy, longing, magic, emptiness, and fullness.
The actress’ mother, Debbie Reynolds, also passed away just one day after Fisher, following a medical emergency. The cause of Reynolds’ death was not determined at the time.
Lourd’s poignant post serves as a reminder that grief is a journey, and it’s okay to feel complex emotions. Her words offer hope and inspiration for those who have lost loved ones to celebrate life’s beauty and find ways to move forward.
