Jennifer Garner Opens Up About Grief, Self-Grace 7 Months After Father's Death
HuffPost
The "Alias" actor credited her three kids and close friends for keeping her grounded throughout the difficult year.
Jennifer Garner continues to grieve the loss of her father, William John Garner.
Appearing on Tuesday’s episode of the “Lipstick on the Rim” podcast, the “Alias” actor pushed back on the notion that she’d stayed “so positive” in the seven months since her dad died in March.
“We have to allow ourselves to not be perfect all the time, to not be in the mood all the time, to not be smiley,” she said to host Molly Sims, who is one of Jennifer Garner’s close friends. “I give myself a lot of grace. I’m like, ‘Welp, I couldn’t do it. This was not a day where I was all things to all people.’”
Recalling a time when she left a recent party hosted by Sims early when she became emotional, Garner added, “You kind of are where you are, and you just have to find the friends who can handle that for you. Think of how many times I showed up at your house and just started crying because you were safe and you were somebody that I could do that with. That’s nothing to be taken lightly.”
