HuffPost
The "Dead to Me" actor got candid about how her illness has affected her family.
Christina Applegate is extraordinarily honest about the challenges she and her family have faced since her multiple sclerosis diagnosis.
The “Dead to Me” actor, who publicly announced her diagnosis in 2021, recently opened up about a “knife to the heart” comment from her 14-year-old daughter, Sadie.
“I get up because of her [my daughter]. She’s the reason I’m still here and trying,” Applegate said during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa” podcast, released Tuesday.
Applegate said the two “got into a big thing the other day” and her daughter told her, “I missed who you were before you got sick.”
“That is just like a knife to the heart because I miss who I was before I got sick too. Very much,” Applegate said as she got emotional. “Every day of my life is at such a loss.”
