โ€œMy heart is broken,โ€ Michelle Williams confessed at the time of former boyfriend Heath Ledgerโ€™s death in January 2008, at the age of 28. And now, almost three years after his accidental overdose on prescription medication, it still hasnโ€™t healed.

In a tell-all interview with US talk show Nightline, a tearful Michelle opens up about the painful process of grief that she experiences anew every day. โ€œIโ€™ve found meanings around the circumstance, but the actual event itselfโ€Šโ€ฆ I still canโ€™t find a meaning for it,โ€ she says.

โ€œI can find meaning in things and people and relationships that have sprung up and friendships that have strengthened [since Heathโ€™s death] but not in why [he had to die].โ€

Even though she still thinks about him often, Michelle โ€“ who split from Perth-born Heath in 2007 after three years together โ€“ struggles to keep her memories of him from fading. In the year after his death, she still felt Heathโ€™s presence near.

โ€œIn a strange way, I miss that year because all those possibilities that existed then are gone,โ€ she explains. โ€œIt didnโ€™t seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door or could appear behind a bush.โ€
