Natasha McElhone Empowered By Single Motherhood
Natasha McElhone has the incredibly hard job of raising her sons after their father’s death. She is doing a great job and has a lot of support, but it still has to be hard.
She said, “Their brains are very much like Martin’s, thank God, because he had an extraordinary brain. Just like Martin, Theo is “a little chess fiend” who has “a fascination for science and how things work.”
“[Otis] has a lust for life, a contagious energy that was very much Martin’s, and the baby…I think he looks like Martin, but I’m probably projecting wildly.”
“Martin is such a part of me now, and me a part of him. For example, I could never do an impersonation of him, whereas I could impersonate anyone else outside my family. It’s only when someone comes in from outside and says, ‘Oh God, he looked just like Martin when he did that.’ I see them every day, so it’s hard for me to be objective.”
She’s very proud of herself and the example she is setting for her boys. She showing them a strong woman taking on the challenges of single motherhood.
I can’t even imagine how she gets through the day, but I guess you do what you have to to get through the day.
