Terri Irwin's TV heartbreak
By ONLINE REPORTER
January 12, 2007
STEVE IRWIN’S widow Terri broke down in tears on TV as she told of her heartbreak since his death last September.
Terri wept on the Jay Leno show as she explained how hard life has been for her and kids Bindi and Bob since the popular naturalist passed away.
She also told the Ellen DeGeneres Show that she still has problems coming to terms with Steve’s death.
"It ebbs and it flows. Sometimes I expect him to walk in the door, and other times I just think it's like one of those really good movies that you want to remember,” she said.
“Sometimes you think, 'I'm not remembering all the last 14 years,' but I think that's just a protection device,” she explained.
However, she did add that her daredevil husband did not fear death.
“Steve was never afraid for his own mortality. Countless times he has said to me, 'Okay, now I can die. This is the most incredible thing I've ever done, now I can die,' and then we'd go and swim with the manatees, and then he'd go, 'Okay, now I can die’,” she said.
Meanwhile, Steve and Terri’s daughter Bindi, eight, has been named a worldwide ambassador for Australian tourism.
