In a 2019 interview TatlerKidman shared how motherhood has affected her grief. “My three-year-old said, ‘But you’re not going to be so sad tomorrow, are you?’ That’s when you realize you have to be okay,” she said. “Because they need to know that they’re safe, that their mother isn’t going to fall apart. Inside? I was beyond broken. But I had to pull myself together.”

“I jumped into life. Let’s get on a plane. Let’s try things out. Let’s do it. Because who knows, right?” she added of her outlook on life.

Her vulnerability and openness to continue living even after unimaginable grief is truly inspiring.
