Model Paulina Porizkova is no stranger to grief.
On August 23, 1989, she married The Cars frontman, Ric Ocasek. In May 2018, the “Anna” actress revealed that the former couple had separated. Less than a year later, she died suddenly after undergoing surgery before the divorce was finalized.
Paulina found out after his death that she and the two sons they shared had been disinherited from his will shortly before his death and their legal dispute with his estate did not end until 2021.
The author of “No Filter: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful” took to Instagram to share throwback photos while sharing a candid message with her followers about the stages of grief.

“The YOU you know has also been obliterated. ‘you’ who share a history with this person, ‘you’ who share a future. You can never get that ‘you’ back. This is what I’m fighting for right now,” he confessed, adding, “I’ve come to know the absence of my loved ones, although the reminder of him still makes me wince in pain.”
“I haven’t grown into my new skin yet. Sometimes I feel like a shar-pei puppy, my skin is too big for me,” Paulina admits. “I miss and long for comfortable skin that fits all my life. So I have to keep growing to fill this new shape.”

“And this is Erik. Endless kindness. Generous to a fault,” he added. “Big-hearted and eager to make mistakes. A great cook. A great and devoted father and husband. The best brother.”

“Bad pancreatic cancer took him away from everyone who loved him yesterday. My last text from a few days ago was the only one that didn’t get a response,” he continued. “It’s ‘your love.’ But I think he knows that.”
“My heart goes out to his family and friends,” she concluded, adding, “Erik, I hope you can see the outpouring of love for you from all of us. Wherever you are, I hope you can feel it.”
Many fans took the time to send their condolences. “A beautiful tribute to your friend!” commented a fan. “I’m sorry for losing you.”
