Billie Lourd Mourns Mom Carrie Fisher Eight Years After Her Death: ‘Emotional Tropical Storm’

On Dec. 27, Billie Lourd remembered her mother Carrie Fisher on the eighth anniversary of her death, calling grief an 'emotional tropical storm.

Lourd pointed to an Anne Lamott quote that describes grief as “having a broken leg that never heals perfectly that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.” Lourd pointed to how her two kids — Kingston, 4, and Jackson, 2 — see their late grandmother as a “piece of that magic,” and that she appreciates the coexistence of all of her feelings, including the grief, joy, long and the emptiness that comes with loss. Lourd — wearing a dress with Princess Leia on it — reflected on how hard she tried to hate her mother’s film when she was a kid and how she’d often “roll my eyes” whenever Fisher would bring up Star Wars.
