Liam Neeson reveals that even after five years the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson does not feel ‘real.’ Neeson sat down with Anderson Cooper for Sunday evening’s 60 Minutes and discussed taking his wife off life support. “[Her death] was never real. It still kind of isn’t. There’s periods now in our New York residence when I hear the door opening, especially the first couple of years…anytime I hear that door opening, I still think I’m going to hear her.” He tells Cooper the grief comes in waves. “It hits you. It’s like a wave. You just get this profound feeling of instability…the Earth isn’t stable anymore and then it passes and it becomes more infrequent, but I still get it sometimes.” So sad! Neeson recalls going to a Canadian hospital where he was told by doctors his wife was brain dead after a skiing accident.”She was on life support…I went in to her and I told her I loved her, said ‘Sweetie, you’re not coming back from this, you’ve banged your head’…she and I had made a pact, if any of us got into a vegetative state that we’d pull the plug…that was my immediate thought…’Okay, these tubes have to go. She’s gone.'” He added, “Donated three of her organs, so she’s keeping three people alive at the moment…her heart, her kidneys and her liver. It’s terrific…and I think she would be very thrilled and pleased by that,” says Neeson.
