Letitia Wright, an actress, sought therapy after Chadwick Boseman’s passing.
The 43-year-old Hollywood actor passed away in August 2020, and his “Black Panther” co-star admits that his passing left her “devastated.”
You can image my devastation. I had to go through counselling to process it. It’s not as though I took a two-year sabbatical from the film to absorb it. Letitia, who plays Nakia in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” explained that we had to begin six months after Chad’s passing.
After Chadwick passed away, Wright’s entire view on life was altered, and the actress admitted that she is now “afraid to lose people.”
You never know how something would effect you until it really happens, she told the Guardian newspaper. The lesson I’ve learned is that you think you have time. These events help you realise how crucial it is to communicate with the ones you care about.
The number of times I have texted my cast members, especially Danai, to express my love for them (Gurira). I frequently contact Ryan (Coogler, the director of the “Black Panther” movies), telling him how much I adore him and wondering how he is.
I won’t put it off any longer since tomorrow is not certain. I’ve been so frightened to lose people since Chad passed away.
Letitia used Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s “Notes on Grief” as another resource to get her through the crisis. She explained: “She talks about how nothing can make the ache of bereavement go away. You’re simply upset because you lost this individual. You only desire their return.
“Grief enters our lives like a thief in the night, and it never leaves. And you need to manage it. You can’t fool yourself into thinking you’re fine today.
