Update: Brittany Murphy’s Husband Often in Tears

In a new interview, the mother of the late Brittany Murphy's husband Simon Monjack is opening up about how her son is coping.

"Simon is exactly as you would expect someone to be who has just lost the woman he loved. Some days he wants to kill himself, and other days he seems to be coping better," Simon's mother Linda told People magazine.

"He is distraught. I speak to him everyday, and he is often in tears," Linda, who is a hypnotherapist and counselor in England, also told People. Linda explained that Simon and Brittany's mother, Sharon, are leaning on each other for support.
