Regina King talks about her grief after son’s death

[@tasibho]

I cant imagine the pain. When my sister passed i had so much unresolved whys and unaswered questions. Its debilitating. But to have it be a child. Your only child. My heart goes out to you Regina

[@wendysargent3855]

Losing a child is the greatest pain.

[@TeriBailey-w8e]

Yes it is😢😢😢

[@pams3747]

It truly is

[@person4.0]

I could believe that. Totally.

[@camibeard3223]

Regina is a class act. Always loved her.

[@lemondropkid6175]

Mary Tyler Moore lost her son at 27 years old, as a kid I remember being so impressed with her public courage and integrity. I get the same sincere vibe from Regina King, it's hard to put it into words but she manages to do so. Great actresses that give so much. Wishing Ms.King continued strength and eyes to the future, with her son always in her heart.

[@sherriegibbscolvin7617]

So thankful to see her back active. I can't imagine the insurmountable pain she's experiencing. Such a regal and beautiful force ❤ Sending love and light to Regina King.

No parent should outlive their child.

I have lost 2.💔💔

[@alphaomega5909]

@@kmm291 My deepest condolences Ma'am,Sir . Im 91.Me n the Mrs have 5,12 grandkids. I pray nightly They outlive me. But only comfort I can offer n believe in? You n they WILL REUNITE someday in Eternity. God Bless.

[@AgainstLife1000]

​@@alphaomega5909I don't understand this saying. Parents are the ones who give their child a guaranteed de@th sentence through their vile sex acts. They should definitely see the fruits of their labor.

[@seansamuels7131]

I just want to reach out and just hug her. Saying nothing. Just hug her and shed tears in condolence. This dear soul. Gosh. The grief is something I can only just imagine. Ouf! Beautiful report Robin Roberts. May God be with her in this time. 😢

[@velshock]

I’m sincerely sorry for this amazing woman’s loss. I lost my sister in the same year, which was terrible, but can’t imagine losing a child. 💔

[@danielleodums4244]

I'm so hurt for you. Watched you on 227, and you have grown into a beautiful woman!

[@JocelynE-v8x]

I love this woman. Keeping her in my prayers. No parent should ever have to bury a child.

[@chrisleal8459]

Feel the pain of the loss of her son Ian in her every word. May Ian RIP and God grant Regina the peace she needs and comfort in her soul.

[@ec-kj4yp]

I just love this woman, always have. I'm so sorry she lost her boy. What a graceful and loving person she is.

[@tellywilliams7362]

My mother has lost two children. My oldest brother had a heart attack (2010) and my middle brother was murdered during an home invasion (1997) I still see the pain she has..

[@JubileeRM]

I lost my firstborn son in 2010 to a reckless driver. From time to time, as a father, I still cry for my son. A parent's heart never heals from your child's death. We just learn to go on daily. 💕☹️

[@beautyRest1]

Oh my god, that is so sad. I can feel the pain in your words. I wish that you continue to move forward and find joy again!❤️❤️

[@alphaomega5909]

Never feel bad if you still cry sometimes. Even decades n decades later. God Bless.

[@charityragin]

They may be gone, but that bond is never broken. We remember the joys, and it makes it hard to let go. As if we are making room for someone else to fill that space. The good thing about the heart is it expands. You can love so many, yet never replace anyone when they're gone. Our purpose is to touch one another. So when we have, we've done our jobs.

[@JubileeRM]

@@beautyRest1 thanks so much. 💕

[@JubileeRM]

@alphaomega5909 appreciated. Blessings to you also 🙏 ❤️

[@lisamyers9777]

Grief is a long process. Losing someone does indeed change you. Losing my mom 5 years ago, I still struggle to feel what I was like 6 years ago. Never been the same. You still have your moments with grief so you still have to deal with it for a moment and then you pick up the pieces to go back to living

[@Elizabeth.F.]

Thank you for sharing ❤ I'm also a grieving mother. My prayers are with her🙏🏽❤️👼🏽🙏🏽

I have so much empathy and respect for Regina King.

[@jazzlover9050]

REGINA GOD BLESS U. My husband and I walk on eggshells everyday and I’m hurt. My son is an amazing human being only 26 Yrs old and is struggling since he was 12 with depression. Yet nobody would know He is such a beautiful soul and still manages to work get therapy advocate for his mental health. But tells us he struggles. Our only child It’s hard. Listening to her say what she is saying. It is hard to hear. we are there for him always and scary to think he gives up I have always liked her in movies. But now I really respect her.

[@HeleneFER]

Thank you Ian’s mom to put simple words on this tortuous journey »; « Grief is love that has no place to go » Sending love to you beautiful lady

[@icecream7yum1]

I am so sorry, you are not alone. Love you.

[@Miss_Cherry]

"Grief is love without a place to go." So true. As a person with severe depression, I know the struggle. TO ALL MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS WITH DEPRESSION. IN THE WORDS OF WILSON PHILLIPS "HOLD ON FOR ONE MORE DAY, THINGS WILL GO YOIR WAY" Go listen to that song btw, its a whole pick me up.

[@diandiaz9026]

She articulates and speaks so well

[@designdestinyonline]

Best way to look at this tragedy. It was his choice and to respect that no matter how hard is still the best way to respect him. I lost someone who took his life at 23. He was a young black man who had carried a lot of weight from his childhood. Even though he was ready to graduate college and help other children, I never imagined he would take his life. I was mad at him because I looked up to him. After time I realized that his pain was just too heavy for any of us to understand. I’m no longer mad but I do talk to him. I just got thru cancer and thru every low point there was also a rainbow 🌈 and that reminds me why you keep going and if you can weather the storm you will see rainbows

[@BosBajC]

I am happy that she was honest that they were struggling with this for a while. I thought he just had a sudden break. Very sorry for her loss but respect her for telling us about their journey. She did all that she could do and she has nothing to be ashamed of. May God continue to bless and keep her.

[@b4realjenkins625]

Knowing this pain personally, having a heart full of pure love so that when it breaks there is enough to keep living. It changes your normality.

[@nancywyatt2256]

I lost my mom in 2022 to Cancer on Mother’s Day and when she passed away a piece of me left with her. When Regina King said “grief is a journey and it’s love that has no place to go “. I can truly resonate with that. Everyday is a struggle but you learn to live with it. Prayers for continued healing, peace and understanding for her and all those who have lost loved ones near and dear to their heart.🙏🏽

[@Gary-xs6ex]

The way this amazing woman overcomes and recognizes what space she is in now, is remarkable and commendable. Regina King…..you are inspiring and pivotal in handling sadness.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Her speaking about Ian in the present resonated to me. I’ve learned to soften sorrow with talking about my loved ones who are at rest in the present. I loved the term “Happy Sorrow.”. 🕊️🕊️

I used to live in Glendale Ca. At the Galleria Mall her and her son zipped right by me, I think that was in 2003? I've have always had a crazy crush on her growing up in the 80s when she was on 227. Very beautiful woman, that's doing great things in Hollywood and for the world. But losing a child? I couldn't imagine that level of pain, stay strong and let God lead you through it.

[@awalkuk4732]

I am not a mother and have no experience in carrying, birthing and raising a child. However, I am certain that the loss of a child is a wound that can never be fully healed. I do hope and pray that she is surrounded by so much love, joy and happiness. Perhaps that can lessen the pain that the heart feels. ❤❤❤

[@AgainstLife1000]

When 2 people are forcing another life into the world (yes, its by force because u are creating someone without their permission/consent) u are playing a BIG BIG gamble!!!! Your child is NOT obligated to like life just because of YOUR choices & that does NOT automatically make someone mentally ill. I would say the people who are desensitized to the way life operates in this hellscape dystopia are the ones who are truly mentally ill.

[@auntiez4917]

I understand what you are saying; however, giving someone else life is not a gamble since most people live productive lives.

[@TBell-vb4nw]

I see more famous kids committing suicide, and more poor kids going towards crime and violence. I think this should be discussed because in the end they are calling out for help? Sensitive topic... I just don't have an answer.

[@TeriBailey-w8e]

Agreed
