She revealed she was eight months pregnant with son Charlton whom she nicknames 'Charlie' at the time, she continued, 'and I thought the world was going to swallow us both up. I had to be strong, I had to carry on. In the years since you’ve gone, I think about the moments I wish we’d shared and the conversations I wish we’d had. Regret sucks. And it’s painful.'
