Michael Palin Feels Less Grief Two Years After Wife's Death

News summary

Sir Michael Palin, the 82-year-old Monty Python star, has spoken about feeling less grief two years after the death of his wife of 57 years, Helen Gibbins, who passed away in May 2023 after battling chronic pain and kidney failure. Palin described how his response to her loss has evolved from intense grief to focusing more on her spirit being present, which brings him comfort and laughter, as he often talks to himself imagining her presence. The couple met as teenagers in Southwold, Suffolk, and shared three children and four grandchildren. Despite occasional dark days, Palin has not sought therapy, relying instead on his family for support and cherishing their closeness. He expressed that after such a long union, he does not expect to find love again but is content living alone and continuing his life and travels. Palin also reflected on the importance of continuing to care for their children and embracing the memories and spirit of his late wife in his daily life.
