Though Billie, whose dad is Bryan Lourd, added, “She never got to meet her grandchildren and see them grow into the magical smart hilarious kind creatures they are today.”
But despite her own complicated feelings, Billie also wants her children to know the best parts of who their grandmother was.
“She was a brilliant magical human and I want them to know that,” the Scream Queens actress said. “On these days I try to celebrate the good parts. I’ll tell my kids funny stories about her, watch one of her movies, eat one of her favorite foods, have a Coke with a s–t ton of ice.”
And as she navigates her grief, which Billie described as “a weird soup of feelings” with “a lot of ingredients in it that are hard to swallow,” she also feels gratitude.
