Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, the Manchester actress admits she struggled to let go.

โ€œAt that time, I was inconsolable, because I felt, โ€˜How will he be able to find us?'โ€

โ€œThis is where we lived, and he wonโ€™t know where we are,โ€ she continued. โ€œAnd now I canโ€™t believe I thought that. Maybe thatโ€™s whatโ€™s making me cry is I feel sad for the person who thought he wonโ€™t be able to locate [us].โ€

Health Ledger died at the age of 28 after an accidental overdose leaving behind daughter Matilda, whom he shared with Michelle.

Michelle, 36, also opened up about life as a single parent and the struggles she faces when it comes to parenthood and relationships.

โ€œItโ€™s hard to romanticize romance when youโ€™re 36,โ€ she says. โ€œWhen youโ€™ve been a parent for 11 years and youโ€™ve done it alone, you donโ€™t have romantic ideals, because you have a practical understanding that you can do it by yourself. The romantic idea of meeting your person and having a storybook family life that looks like the model you grew up with โ€“ that doesnโ€™t really exist for me.โ€

โ€œIโ€™ve not gotten married because I have not had a person to whom I would โ€” so I have not let my sense of conformity or duty override my instincts.โ€
