Valerie Bertinelli has encountered more personal loss than most in the past few years.
“He was the first person I wanted to call.
I wanted to call, I wanted to run over there and say ‘can you believe it?”
No stranger to death, she lost her dad in 2016 and her mom in 2019.
Then, in late 2020, ex-husband Eddie Van Halen died from cancer.
When Bertinelli first started writing the memoir, Eddie was still alive.
Her mom had recently died at that point, so she was processing that loss.
Then COVID hit, and Eddie passed away.
