ditto to your comment Danielle! I can’t even imagine being that strong myself, I get sentimental and would have lots of ‘what ifs’ etc, as it’s not the situation she imagined of course, must have hard times dealing with that, and that her husband is missing out meeing Rex too, but she seems to have a good attitude, despite her grief. Guess you never know how you’ll deal with stressful situations until you’re in them. Obviously they miss him and talk about him as she said, which is great. Sounds like a wonderful mum to her 3 boys. Sad for little Rex never knowing his dad, I’d find that hard to deal with,the kids’ grief, but I’msure his mum and two big brothers will fill him in about their dad when he’s a bit older…

I really admire her, her story is so sad, such a horrific thing to happen to any family. I can’t even contemplate it happening to me, its too awful. I really think she’s doing a terrific job and is to be admired for keeping things together so well for her family.

i’m glad to hear natascha and her family are doing well. she seems really classy and baby rex looks a lot like her. eternalcanadian – you simply reiterated what she said in her statement. there is nothing misleading about her words. what you said is the same thing she conveyed, just worded differently. i like her statement about the branches still flowering, very true and bittersweet. all the best to them.

I would encourage you all to read the full article here:

It is, as the journalist says herself, a profoundly moving story.

I agree with everything Anna said.

It was nice to “hear” from her. We really haven’t since her husbands passing and I think it’s wonderful that she seems to be doing so well.
Continued best wishes to her and her amazing children!

I don’t think anything of that statement can be misleading, because that is how she felt. She obviously thinks of Martin as the root in that statement and he is no longer there.

I find it distasteful to criticize her explanation of her thoughts and feelings when her husband died.

‘I can’t look at him, Mummy, he’s too cute.’

How adorable! One of the nicest quotes from a child I think i’ve ever heard!

I’m glad to see that Natasha is coping well, it can’t be easy. I would imagine there are both good days and bad. This situation made me think of Liam Neeson and my heart just goes out to Natasha, Liam, and all of their children too.

M:
It’s Natascha’s comment on filming Californication. She lives in London, so with the new baby and situation she could have wanted to leave the show.
Instead she decided to take part in it for financial reasons as well as the fact that this way her kids have great holidays.

I agree with Theo that Rex is “too cute.”

I find the comment, “I did think that if perhaps the roots of the tree were gone, the branches would no longer flower, but they are. It’s remarkable” is a bit misleading.

The roots are there. They are very strong, and because Martin and Natascha established some very strong roots of the tree that is why everyone is “flowering” even though Martin is not there.
