Valerie Bertinelli discussed her complicated relationship with ex-husband and rocker Eddie Van Halen prior to his death at age 65.
Speaking to Hoda Kotb, an emotional Bertinelli explained that she didn’t set out to write about sad book about her grief. However, once she started putting pen to paper, she realized how vital it was to her life’s story.
"When I wrote it and when I did it, it was very cathartic to go through it. I didn’t intend to write a book that had all the grief in it. It was about joy," she explained. "But if I left that part out, it wouldn’t show you the path to joy and how to find that even through the depths of the biggest grief you can feel."
