For Amy Yasbeck, no closure has followed the loss of her husband, John Ritter, in 2003.

"I remember talking to Craig Ferguson. He asked me on his show after his dad passed away," the actress said on a recent episode of Steve Kmetko's Still Here Hollywood podcast. "And that's the first time I ever thought of it, ever said it. Somebody was talking about closure — I think Dr. Drew or somebody was on — and said something about closure."




The actress recalled that she had rolled her eyes.

"What closure?" she thought at the time. "I understand you close a relationship... but, no, it's a circle. You're still in that circle, whether you are right at the part where you're in so much pain you can't breathe, or you see it, and it's right there, that pain, that closure; that pain that people want you to have closure on."

"You still go through your life, but it affects you, like the moon, like tides. It's always gonna be there. You don't know why. Sometimes you have a bad day or something hit you, and you don't have to, for many people, you don't have to be in analysis [to ponder that]."




Yasbeck said she has found it helpful to embrace the moments when she wishes Ritter were there with her.

"That's what John and I used to always talk about: 'Can I get a witness?'" Yasbeck said. "And we were great witnesses for each other."
