Cory Monteith’s mother, Ann McGregor never talked publicly after his death, but one year later she is speaking out with ABC on the ‘horrendous’ loss of her son. “In the last few days, I’m beginning to accept it, the loss is horrendous. Until three days ago, I couldn’t look at a picture of Cory, so there’s been progress.”
The Glee actor was found dead in his Vancouver hotel room July 13, 2013 from a combination of alcohol and drugs. McGregor is still in contact with Cory’s girlfriend, Lea Michele via text and email. “She’s hurting too … you see the sadness. I know her pain.” And she believes Cory planned to move back home to Vancouver and escape Hollywood a little. “I think he was easing himself out of it.”
McGregor also talked about Cory’s teenage drug abuse and overdose.“[When] Cory was 15, he did a code blue, and I think that was the turning point. He had a lot of emotional things he was trying to figure out — lot of it was he really wanted a relationship with his father. I think when a child gets invalidated, they keep reaching even harder. They want to find out why.”
She continued, “I remember after Cory’s first O.D., after the drive we took, and all I did was stare into his eyes and hug him and look at him because I had this feeling I wasn’t going to have him my entire life. ”
