It’s a very difficult thing losing a parent, but I think there’s an added complication for me, because he was so well-loved and he had this very open charm that made people feel they had a personal relationship with him.
Meaning of the quote
Losing a parent is always hard, but it can be even harder when your parent was someone that many people loved and felt connected to. Kate Beckinsale's dad was that kind of person - he had a friendly and open personality that made people feel like they knew him personally, even if they didn't. So when he passed away, Kate not only had to deal with the grief of losing her parent, but also the added difficulty of knowing that many others were also grieving the loss of someone they felt close to.
