Billie Lourd is keeping the force of her mom’s love with her on the late actress’ birthday.
In a new Instagram post, the 30-year-old opened up about how the loss of her mom, Carrie Fisher, impacted her and emotional shared that she still grieving.
“My Momby would have been 66 today. I woke up this morning feeling like I should write some long wise grief advice caption like I know what the f— I’m talking about,” she penned. “But then I realized even after 6 years I still have no formula or map on what to do on days like these. You can never be an expert in grief. It is forever changing – the ultimate shape shifter.”
Along with an adorable throwback photo, the “Scream Queens” star also shared a message to others who are mourning the loss of their loved ones.
“You never feel like you know exactly what to do or feel. And that’s okay. Whatever you feel is okay. Sending my love to all the griefers (yet another Billie Lourd petition to make this a real word) out there. You are not alone,” she concluded.
On Dec. 23, 2016, the “Star Wars” actress suffered a medical emergency while aboard a flight from London to Los Angeles, and she was quickly hospitalized upon landing.
