Reeves’ Outlook on Tragedies
Reeves also lost his best friend and fellow actor five years to a drug overdose before her daughter’s death.
Hence, he has enough personal experience with death to form an opinion on the subject.
In 2006, he told the Parade, “Grief changes shape, but it never ends.”
“People have a misconception that you can deal with it and say, “It’s gone and I’m better.” They’re wrong. “When people you love are gone, you’re alone.”
He confessed how he missed being part of their lives and them being part of his. Besides, he misses what they could have done together, but all the great things will never be.
