Christina Applegate Living With MS and Her Friends Whom She Calls Her Family
Her emotional speech as she received her Walk of Fame star
After mom died, I stayed with my best friend. I met him in 2001, and twenty years after, he would be the only person I could lean on. When mom passed away, I was lost.
One can never be ready in losing your mom.
I was one of mom’s caregivers and during her last 21 days, none of us were getting any sleep.
In the end, mom had a beautiful death.
At my best friend’s house, I can sleep and not worry about where is food coming from. Someone will be there to serve me coffee and breakfast when I wake up.
I can go back to bed anytime. I also have someone to share lunch or dinner depending on my friend’s availability.
I would always be grateful to him. While we both know either one of us would come to help the other, a friendship’s ultimate test happens when you need your friend to show up.
He did more than show up, he took care of me until I was ready or strong enough to start living my life without my mom.
