Is Kate Beckinsale's mother Judy OK?
"Embrace joy. Accept grief. Wear feathers. Sing. Do what makes you feel happy even for a moment. Pair grief and sickness and fear with as much life and laughter and celebration as you possibly can. It doesn’t mean you are having some sort of crisis. It means you are choosing life, fiercely," she advised her followers.
Beckinsale also mentioned that one shouldn't hold back feelings when feeling low. "Read. Stay in bed and cry when it’s from all sides and feels like an avalanche," she wrote.

The actress has shared several posts when Clive was healthy in her social media posts, sharing light moments and silly antics. Back in 2019, Beckinsale told fans that Clive had survived cancer, although he was ‘quite old.'
“We got him when my daughter [Lily Sheen, now 24] was little. And he usually is shaved into an odd shape, but he’s a recent cancer survivor. So, he will have all his old fur,” she explained.
