Chloe Lattanzi, the beloved daughter of the iconic Olivia Newton-John, has candidly shared her own health challenges, reflecting on the one-year anniversary of her mother’s passing.
Olivia Newton-John, the legendary actress and singer, passed away on August 8, 2022, following a long and valiant battle with breast cancer that spanned three decades.
Chloe, aged 37, took to her Instagram page to post an emotional video update in which she revealed her personal struggles since her mother’s loss.
She expressed, “Since my mom’s passing and the year and a half with her going through cancer, I have not been okay.”
Chloe went on to detail the difficulties she has faced, including extreme memory loss, getting out of bed, and neglecting herself while keeping commitments.
She shared a powerful message from her late mother, saying, “One of my mom’s biggest messages was, ‘Take care of you: If you don’t take care of you, you cannot give your full capacity of love, wisdom, kindness, and power to everyone else.'”
On October 8, the annual Olivia’s Walk for Wellness will take place at Alexandra Gardens in Melbourne.
Chloe expressed her intention to participate in the event but revealed her plans for a hiatus afterward to focus on her recovery.
“After the walk, I’m going to disappear for about three weeks, just to honor my mind, body, and spirit because I’m developing a little bit of health issues in my mind and my body,” she explained.
Chloe extended her apologies to anyone she may have been inconsistent with and affirmed her commitment to self-care to be of better service to others, following in her mother’s spirit.
Earlier this year, Chloe shared a heartfelt promise she made to her famous mother before Olivia’s passing, vowing to “soar, and fly, and be happy.”
In a touching tribute at a state memorial service held in February, Chloe expressed her deep sorrow, describing Olivia as her “safe space, guide, biggest fan, and the earth beneath my feet.” She believes her mother’s presence remains with her, offering comfort and strength.
