The Oscar winner got candid about a particular grieving experience that many people can relate to.
Nicole Kidman recently opened up about her journey grieving the death of her parents. Her comments about heartbreak and loss captures a particular grief experience that may sometimes get overlooked: losing a parent as an adult.
During an interview with GQ published Monday, the 57-year-old Oscar winner shared that some of her lived experiences as an adult, such as raising children and losing her parents, has made her feel more in touch with her emotions now more than ever.
“Mortality. Connection. Life coming and hitting you,” she said, citing reasons for why she’s been better about tapping into her emotions. “And loss of parents and raising children and marriage and all of the things that go into making you a fully sentient human. I’m in all of those places.”
“So life is, whew. It’s definitely a journey. And it hits you as you get older how— it’s a wake up at 3am crying and gasping kind of thing. If you’re in it and not numbing yourself to it,” she continued. “And I’m in it. Fully in it.”
Kidman has publicly opened up about grieving her mother and father before. Her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, died in September, and her father, Dr. Antony Kidman, died in 2014.
