Christina Applegate shares 'heartbreak' of not having shared and done 'so much more' with her late dad

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Christina Applegate got emotional as she opened up about losing her father Robert Priddy during a recent episode of her podcast 'MeSsy.'

While speaking to her podcast co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler on the Tuesday, June 24 episode, Applegate called her multiple sclerosis diagnosis a “heartbreak” as it made her feel like she had “lost the body that [she] knew.”

She then reflected on the grief of losing her father, Robert Priddy, who died in April at age 83. “I was thinking about the heartbreak of a loss of a person on this planet. Like, my dad passing away a couple months ago,” she told Sigler.

“I have a certain kind of heartbreak with that, which is, number one, I'll never see him or talk to him again,” said Applegate.

“But also, the heartbreak of all the regrets I have, of the things I didn't say, certain resentments that I held that seemed so frivolous and ridiculous to me now. How I wish I had maybe spent more time or something," she continued.

Applegate, who shares 14-year-old daughter Sadie Grace with husband Martyn LeNoble, shared how her father changed as a grandparent.

“I loved the person he became when he became a grandfather to my daughter,” she said as per Parade.

“That heartbreak is coming from this place of, f**k, there's so much more I wish I could have said or done, and now I will never be able to,” she continued.

The 'Dead to Me' star added that grief also comes in different forms.

“It’s really troubling and hard to understand when a person leaves your life but they're still walking on this f*****g planet. You know? Like, that kind of loss that hits you on the side of the head that feels like you're being stabbed.”

Speaking about how she continues to remember her father, Applegate shared, “I light a candle by his picture every single morning when I wake up to honor him."

She added, "And, you know, it's getting to the point where it's getting easier to accept that he's gone. And with MS, it's getting easier to accept where I'm at. I didn't say I've accepted. It's easier getting to the place of acceptance.”

She continued, “I don't think we'll ever have total acceptance because it f*****g sucks, and we know it sucks.”

Reflecting on how death and absence affect people differently, she added, “It's never going to end because the other person is still walking the Earth." She added, “And so that's heartbreaking.”

Noting that she had a feeling when her dad was "gonna go", she said, “I knew when my dad was gonna go. There was, like, an acceptance there … That's not gonna last forever. But when the other person's roaming the Earth, that's tough stuff right there," People reported.
