Grieving Joely Richardson moves house to be closer to Liam Neeson

Natasha Richardson's sister Joely is moving to New York to be closer to Ballymena-born actor Liam Neeson and his two sons.
In her role as supportive sister-in-law, the 44-year-old will move to the Big Apple for two months with her daughter Daisy as she still tries to come to terms with her sister's death.
Natasha, the wife of the Schlinder's List and Michael Collins star, died in a skiing accident in Canada in March.
Actress Joely (44) has revealed how she threw herself into work to cope with the loss.
Speaking about the tragedy for the first time, she said: “We were such opposites. Chalk and cheese, but completely enmeshed in each other. I hadn't lived a day without her.”
She told Tatler magazine that she is finally in the mood “for a big travel somewhere”.
The move to New York is so she can be closer to her nephews, Micheal (14) and 13-year-old Daniel.
“You worry ab out your children and your elders, but I never imagained such a
thing as this. It takes time to put the pieces back together,” she said.

i think it is really lovely that you want to be close to your nephews at this time. I know Liam from Ireland and i know he will appreciate your help. This is an awful time for all your family

Hey Becky. Liam Neeson is a perfect Irish gentleman, who is a man of honour, who deserves our utmost sympathies at this time. Unlike the plastic Tigers from America.

What is terrible, Becky, is that you find people you read about in a novel worth more than REAL people.
Plastic... you don't even know them and yet here you are, making assumptions about them just because they're famous and probably careful how to expose themselves to the world which wants to know everything about them.

Becky, regardless of what you think of these people, they have had a loss and will feel it as deeply as the rest of us. I think that was a silly remark to make.

How you come to that conclusion becky? Is it because they are famous and you're basing assumptions on that?
That's a bit narrow minded; don't you think?

A death is a terrible loss no matter who is involved / affected.

I have just finished reading the book The Lost Daughter by Daralyse Lyons about one sister's death and the impact it has on the one left behind.
Is it terrible that after reading a rich and textured work I am finding it difficult to empathize with plastic people?
