Actress Angelina Jolie, who is in the midst of a divorce from actor Brad Pitt, says she wished her late mother Marcheline Bertrand were by her side during this time.
Jolie announced her split from Pitt in September 2016. Her mother died in 2007 from cancer at the age of 56.
“I would give anything for her to be with me at this time. I’ve needed her,” Jolie told Elle France magazine.
“I talk to her often in my mind and try to think what she might say and how she might guide me,” she added.
Jolie is sad that her mother missed out on being a grandmother to her six children — Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne.
“She would have thrived as a grandmother. I know how much she would have contributed to their lives and I am sad they will miss out on that,” she said.
