Katherine Heigl finally broke her silence after Eric Dane’s death.
The actress, who shared the screen with Eric Dane on the Grey’s anatomy set, mourned the loss of her costar days after his death.
Katherine confessed that she debated Eric’s death for “days” as she has “never been comfortable grieving publicly.”
She began, “I share my tears, my stories, and my memories with those I am closest to, and more often than not I share them only with Heaven alone. But that silence can often seem like a lack of care that I wouldn’t be able to tolerate here.’
“Rebecca, Billie, Georgia… There is so little, if anything, to say about a tragic loss like yours.”
Katherine went on to say, “All the ‘I’m sorry’ and ‘my prayers are with you’ ring a little hollow in the midst of so much pain and sadness. So I’ll say the only thing that has ever brought me peace when I’ve lost someone I love. It’s Robert Frost’s poem.”
Quoting the poet’s poem Nothing Gold Can Stay, she added: “Nature’s first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf is a flower; but only an hour. Then the leaf sinks into leaf. So Eden sank with sorrow, so dawn passes to day. Nothing gold can stay.”
“I will never forget Eric’s gold and I will forever be grateful that I got to enjoy it for even a brief moment. Thank you for sharing it with us. God Speed my old friend… on to your next great adventure,” she concluded.
