Michelle Williams shares how she has coped with Heath Ledger’s death in a recent Newsweek interview. It’s been 10 months since Heath Ledger died of an accidental prescription drug overdose and her grief continues, naturally.

Michelle Williams is trying to raise her daughter, Matilda with a normal schedule and plans to take a year off from acting, but grief is an ongoing process.

Michelle Williams says of Heath Ledger’s death: “It’s so sad. I guess it’s always changing. What else can I say? I just wake up each day in a slightly different place – grief is like a moving river.”

“It’s a strange thing to say, because I’m at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It’s just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone. In some ways it gets worse. That’s what I would say.”
