Comments on: Liam Neeson signs on for first film since Natasha’s death http://www.celebitchy.com/45877/liam_neeson_signs_on_for_first_film_since_natashas_death/ Stylish celebrity escapism Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:02:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jane http://www.celebitchy.com/45877/liam_neeson_signs_on_for_first_film_since_natashas_death/#comment-270485 Jane Wed, 15 Apr 2009 23:07:28 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=45877#comment-270485 "I would not be up for large social scenes if I suddenly lost my husband" that might be the key. It's Liam and not you ;) people have different ways to cope with their sadness.. when I lost my father I take all the tasks and want to make sure everything is perfect. I did everything to be busy until his cremation..I became a workaholic and never let myself to be alone.I didn't cry until a few months after that, when I heard a song that remind me of him. just because some people don't hide away from everyone doesn't mean they don't feel hurt or sad. That's not insensitive. what insensitive is judging his way to cope with his grief as insensitive and weird. sometimes we are afraid to be alone because we are afraid to break down and cry which could make others get sadder. maybe that's what he thinks, maybe just maybe...he doesn't want to look sad for the sake of their children so they wont get sadder, ykwim? “I would not be up for large social scenes if I suddenly lost my husband”

I thought they had a great marriage,one of the few in Hollywood, but it's like he hasn't missed a beat. I totally understand work and the football game with his kids. But he was recently at some gala to honor David Frost and spotted at some paparrazi infested restaurant. People grieve differently but those things suprised me.

I'm not judging Liam or anything, I just expected him to act differently. I mean, they were together for so long and they had two boys... I don't know why in our society, in general, it is so wrong to suffer in public. If you're struggling, you have to hide away from the others, in order not to bother them with "grim" things. I mean, in some countries, the license a person gets when a baby is born is longer than the license the person gets when a loved one dies. People stop calling. They start telling the person to "get over" it. They say you're pitying yourself. We are constantly told to leave the dead ones behind. Sometimes, people act as if they never existed. It just so weird. Not right or wrong, just, weird. And even insensitive. Yeah, Susan, I thought that was strange too. I’m not judging Liam or anything, I just expected him to act differently.

I'm glad he has family to help heal his emptiness, what a tragic loss for anyone. Man, when I heard the story of his wife, I felt so bad for him and the family.

Not *everyone* in Hollywood is filthy rich. Even if he makes millions of dollars a picture, he might have a huge stack of bills to pay, not to mention an agent and lawyers.

Both of my husbans parents died within a couple of months of each other (she of a heart attack - he of a broken heart) and I thought he was handling it "to well" also. About 6 months later when he brought something home from the office to show his dad is when it really hit him HARD. People mourn in very different ways. Sometimes these things hit you later.

You have to keep going. Someone loses the person they thought they'd grow old with, and from the outside, you can't imagine how they can stand it. But if you have kids, what else are you supposed to do? Or rather, especially if you have kids. My brother was the same way when my sister-in-law died. You have to keep going.

He strikes me as the former. It doesnt mean he isn't hurt and devastated. It means he is putting one foot in front of the other, and continuing to live his life the best he can. Maybe he thinks he has a craft to share, kids (& staff!) to support, and there is nothing to be gained by curling up for a year and wailing and pitying himself. Doing so wont bring her back. Doing so won't make him feel any better. Doing so will actually hurt others. Life will move on . So clearly he plans to keep living. Methinks some people are a little self absorbed and judgmental to think he is doing something odd and peculiar. I think doing otherwise is weak. (sniff) just my opinion Some people are just more stoic than others…….some are just more sensitive to others.

But, then again, when Elizabeth Taylor's husband was killed in an airplane crash - it happened right in the middle of filiming "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and she returned to the movie and finished filming. I don't know how they do that. I guess I don't understand how strong these people are. I wouldn't be able to carry on like that.
