Chad Lowe Shared a Message About Grief Days Before the Wedding
Chad Lowe announced the passing of Fiona on September 29.
Chad shared a message about mourning on social media on October 8 by posting a video of Irish author Gerry Hussey discussing grief and religion on Olivia Hunt’s "On Healing" podcast.
“We both possess the human and the divine,” the writer said in the clip, which was filmed in 2025. “We are connected to everything that is. It just makes sense, and there’s nothing there but peace and love.”
"You have to just trust because when you see the world through the eyes of the human ego, nothing makes sense," Hussey continued. “So when we die, where do we go? We return to a state of peace and love.”
