He continued: “I absolutely relate to that, and I don’t think you ever work through it. Grief and loss, those are things that don’t ever go away. They stay with you.”

Losing someone, he added, was “always with you, but like an ebb and flow”.

Grief is a very personal thing, which makes opening up about it difficult, and studies have shown that men find it much harder to talk about grief than women.

But when people in the public eye like Reeves, Beanie Feldstein or Jessica Williams speak about it, they can help us all to realise that grief comes in many different shapes and forms, and there’s no one way to handle it.

And that’s an important lesson for us all to learn.
