Nicole Kidman has revealed that she is on a journey of grief after her mother's death.

Speaking to Allure magazine, she began by saying, "Losing my mother changed every part of me … I’m so raw with it. I feel embarrassed because I feel like: ‘Oh, you’ve talked about it enough.'”

"I’m trying to be quiet and have it be a more intimate thing. The love was so profound that the loss of it … I’m on the journey of grief, the year of magical thinking," the Babygirl actress added.

For those unversed, Kidman’s mother, Janelle, died at the age of 84 in September 2024. The Hollywood actress learned of her mother’s passing when she was in Venice for the Venice Film festival.

Admitting ageing is difficult for her, she continued, “You have no control over the future. Probably that’s to do with losing people very, very suddenly. I have more time behind me than ahead. That shift in the ratio becomes a big thing…”

Before concluding, Nicole Kidman told the outlet, “At this stage, the last thing you need to be saying is, ‘I wish.’ At some point you go, ‘Don’t wish for anything.’ Move forward. S*** up. And get on with it.”
