Another Story shared was a screenshot of a comment Christopher made on a post about his 40th and 50th birthdays.
“I have great memories of celebrating my 40th birthday at The Little Beach House in Malibu surrounded by friends,” the comment began. “In the decade since my daughter was born, I’ve won an Emmy, starred in 4 television shows, completed a dozen movies, lived in half a dozen states, relapsed and recovered, survived traumatic brain injury and a pandemic, became single again, lost several friends and family, found my savior, accepted God’s will for me, and learned to be content living a quieter life.”

Tyler Christopher Meets With Fans One Month Before His Death

Just a month ago, Christopher held a special meet and greet with fans in New York City, where he opened up about his struggles with addiction.
Superfan Joanne Morrissey tells PEOPLE that she’s “putting her whole life on the line” discussing how her alcoholism has affected her relationship with her children.
“He talks about them a lot, so in this instance, when I asked him, he explained that he was trying to see them,” she told PEOPLE. “I think he said once a month he tried to go visit them…but you know he had to do it in three days.”

According to Morrissey, the actor shared that he saw his son, Greysun, 14, and daughter, Boheme, 8, about eight months ago, and his last attempt to visit them didn’t go as planned. He revealed to his fans that he rented an Airbnb in preparation for their visit but ended up “passing out on the sofa” which led to the children leaving with their mother, ex-wife Brienne Pedigo. It wasn’t until the next day that he realized that he had missed spending time with them.
“His son took it very, very hard,” Morrissey said. “And I could sense, and I could tell from the way he described it, that he had a very hard time forgiving himself for that.”
The experience helped Christopher “really make some serious changes in his life” so he could see his children.
“His kids are now his priority,” Morrissey continued. “He’s going to get sober, as hard as it is, and stay sober so he can see his kids again.”
At this point, at the end of September, she was “six weeks along”. He told his fans at the meeting that he will see his children on October 15.
