Kim Cattrall has reflected on losing her brother, Chris, to suicide in 2018.
Chris died aged 55 in February in 2018, after he went missing from his home in Alberta, Canada.
He was missing for five days before police found his body.
In a new interview, Cattrall said her brother’s death was “out of the natural order”.
“This wasn’t supposed to happen,” she said. “It was sudden and unexpected. You remember where you were, what happened, what was said. It is all so accessible, all the time, a weight that is always with you and never leaves.”
Speaking about the wait to find him, she said: “That was just an extraordinary few days. Everything in you is on high alert because he can be saved. And in my family that was one of the roles you [I] take on.”
Cattrall said she was always expected to come to the rescue because “I’m the one that went into the world. So it was my role. But I am slowly retiring from that. I’ve done a lot of work where I don’t want to assume that I can fix people. They have to want to fix themselves, and me caring, living and fretting about them doesn’t solve it. They have to want to change.”
