The 47-year-old singer also noted that she’s “been experiencing such deep, profound gratitude,” before sharing, “We left nothing unsaid. He knew I loved him, and I know he loved me.

Patrick Stewart talked about his strained relationship with his children
The late actor was also the father of a son, Daniel Stewart and a daughter, Sophie Alexandra Stewart, whom he shared with Falconer.
However, he did not share a good relationship with his children. Three years before his passing, he spoke to the Irish Independent, admitting, “There’s not a day that goes by that I’m not pained by the memory of my children, who they were and by a sense of responsibility that they became who they are in part because of me and my influence or lack of influence on them.”
The ‘X-Men’ star also revealed that he’s “separated from my children now; we don’t have relationships; they have become very important. I never thought that this would happen, but both my children are in their 50s; they’re not children anymore, they’re adults.”
“And my relationship with them is practically non-existent,” Stewart had added.
