• Whoopi Goldberg ‘Still Processing’ Mother’s Death – Whoopi Goldberg : People.com – Annotated tags: death grief
  • Goldberg’s mother, Emma Johnson, passed away from complications following a
    stroke on Aug. 28. The loss is difficult to get used to.

    “I used to talk
    to her every day,” says The View co-host. “I’m still in the habit of
    talking to her, you know, but I just wish she were here with me.”

    What types of things did Goldberg and her mother talk
    about? “Every day she’d say, ‘I’m proud of you,’ ” recalls Goldberg. “And I
    would respond, ‘I’m proud of you.’ I was very lucky to have her as a
    mother.”

  • “I know she had a great life,” continues Goldberg, “so I can’t be too sad. She
    had a great time of it. But of course I’m sad because I really miss her.”

    Despite her mourning, Goldberg has found a silver lining. “We didn’t
    leave anything unsaid,” she explains.
