James Van Der Beek’s wife, Kimberly, shared a heartbreaking life update three months after the actor tragically died from cancer.
“To say I’m heartbroken is a severe understatement,” the film producer wrote via Instagram Tuesday alongside photos of Van Der Beek and their kids.
“Words just don’t capture what grief is. The comforts of shock have worn off. The reality is settling in … and I miss him. We all miss him.”

Kimberly, 44, went on to explain that “there is a different kind of magic in the air,” adding, “I feel him. I know him more deeply. My conscious connection to God has deepened.”
“The veils of the universe have thinned. And I trust that this is the path me and my family have always been intended to walk.”
She expressed her gratitude for the “outpouring of support” she and her family have received that has been “beyond anything [she] could have ever expected.”

“I’ve been privately dealing with this diagnosis and have been taking steps to resolve it, with the support of my incredible family,” he wrote.
