OlderHeath Ledger’s Family Shares Heartache
Heath Ledger’s family have written about the loss of the Hollywood actor in the Australian newspaper West Australian.
Heath’s mom, Sally: “Our darling boy, special in so many ways to all of us. You knew you were so loved. You lived life with courage and daring and we are so grateful for the wonderful times we shared. We will be there for Matilda.”
Heath’s older sister, Kate: “I can hardly breathe when I try to write this. We were the ultimate in soul mates. I feel both my heart and life have been torn apart. I loved our special talks, our daily chats from where ever you were in the world. I especially loved all the precious time we spent together. We were so fortunate to have you as long as we did. You were so many things to so many people, but to me you were just my little brother. There will never, ever be another “Heath” and I think that in itself is the greatest tragedy. I will continue to talk with you everyday and love you just as if you were here. You will never leave my thoughts ‘Roast’, ever.” (Roast was her nickname for him)
Heath’s father, Kim: “My beautiful boy, so loving, so talented, so independent, so caring, so young . . . no more chess games mate . . . this is it, couldn’t beat you anyway! My body aches for the sound of your voice, our chats, our laughs and our life and times together. Your truly varied artistic skills, insatiable desire to improve and eclectic abilities set you apart from any other person on the planet . . . it had only just started for you … and for us to further enjoy. We were one, in soul and commitment. Just . . . Father and Son. I will love you forever, Dad.”
Heath’s entire family: “How do we describe our sudden and tragic loss? … You were the most amazing individual “old soul” in a young man’s body. You so loved us, as we dearly loved you. As a close knit and very private family unit we have observed you so determined yet quietly travelling in your self-styled path in life, nothing would get in your way … no mountain too tall, no river too wide. You dreamed your dreams and lived them with passion and intelligent commitment. We have been privileged to accompany you on a ride through life that has simply been amazing and through it all, we have loved each other beyond imagination. Your true legacy lives on in beautiful little Matilda, who will always remain in the greatest of care. Our hearts are broken.”

With all due respect- I think his family should not comment for everyone to see it.
Keep it private. It kinda feels like they are selling it out…
Respect to the parents!!!
With all due respect - if you are ever unfortunate enough to outlive one of your children - YOU can decide how YOU choose to handle it. Their son was a public figure. It’s not like they sat down with OK magazine and sold a story; these were published in Aussie newspapers, Heath Ledger’s home.
what a lovely family, did’nt he realise by doing this, and l truly believe it was suiside as he talked about it often, thae effect it would have on his family.
God, that was so sad that I cried for the 1st time since he died. I can’t imagine the pain that his family is suffering. Right now I’m crying while writing this and I didn’t even knew him, so his family’s pain must be 100000 worst than mine.
Heath, whatever it hapened that caused your death I hope you know that your fans are suffering a lot and you always be remembered the best way possible.
Love from Portugal

wow :(
This is extremely heartbreaking but I love the way Heath’s family chose to show their love for him. At least this whole situation is being handled tastefully and respectfully!
It truly broke my heart reading this, what a tragic loss. I still can’t believe it.
I think they are beautiful comments and their love and insight into who their son was, not as a celebrity, but as a person is important for people to remember in a tabloid obsessed world.
God bless the Ledger family.
RIP Heath.
Steve Irwin and now Heath Ledger —- so hard to believe they are really gone. What a shock.
Heath was a remarkable actor with a good heart. We will miss him very much. His work will never be forgotten.
His family is in my prayers.

Heath wherever you are, your family truly loves you and us, your fans misses you sooo much! I don’t know if I can watch you again in “Ten Things I Hate About You” where I firts saw you without crying. Oh God! I still remember how I asked myself who that new actor was because there was something about your acting, the depth in it that left me in awe.
