Michelle Williams "Devastated" By Heath Ledger's Death

HeathMichellecrop.jpgI can't even imagine what Michelle Williams is going through right now. I always got the feeling that, even though the couple broke up late last year, she and Heath Ledger were still in love.

Michelle was reportedly working in Sweden when she got the awful news of Heath's death. Their two-year-old daughter, Matilda, was said to be with her. 

"She's devastated," says a source close to actress told People.com, adding, "I can't believe Matilda is going to grow up without a dad, without knowing her father. And that Michelle will have to deal with having a daughter who's lost her father. She's a survivor. She'll make it, but it's going to be hard. Her first concern is going to be Matilda."

Heath and Michelle met on the set of Brokeback Mountain, where they reportedly fell in love at first sight.

"I remember being in rehearsal, and the two of them had googly eyes with each other," costar Jake Gyllenhaal said of the couple. "There were sparks immediately," added costar Anne Hathaway. "It was adorable."

They split amicably, after three years, in September 2007.

My heart breaks for her.

I couldn't imagine how hard it would be for her, i mean they were together for over 3 years. And they had just broken up in Sept. That would be so hard. I feel the worst for Matilda, it has to be hard knowing your little girl will never really know how much her daddy loved her. so very sad.

my condolences to the Ledger family... especially to ms. michelle and their daughter...i know how it feels to loose someone u truly care for and for a child to grow up without the guidance of a father. maybe God has a purpose why He took Heath...he must be a very kind man that God wanted him to be by his side and sin no more.

Why would Lisa put such an obviously shameful remark when it says in the above article we are blogging about that the couple met on the set of "Brokeback Mountain." This girl needs to show some respect for the dead and their families. I mean, really lady!!! How rude!!

I feel for Michelle, for them to have broken up so recently -I am sure their feelings for each are very strong and this is heartbreaking to her. Even at two years old it will be difficult for her to explain to her daughter where her daddy is now and why he isn't around anymore to see her. Hopefully the paparazzi will let Michelle and the rest of Heath's family grief in peace. Rest in peace Heath.

My heart goes out to Michelle and Matilda how that baby will never know her daddy except the memories her mommy shares with her. my prayers and heart goes out to Michelle. Heath was a great actor and I hope matilda knows how much of a great man her daddy was.

It IS so sad...but is anyone else seeing red over the freakin' paps?? Britney may like all the attention, but for pete's sake, show some respect for the dead and the family. It's gotten out of control...and when someone pops and goes off on the paps, I hope they get a medal for it.

RIP, Heath...we love you....

Heath Ledger was an amazing actor and it is so shocking that he is gone. When I first found out i couldn't believe it. My heart goes out for his parents and sisters, but especially to Michelle and Mitilda. I really wish this was a horrible nightmare and that one of hollywoods greastest actors was still alive.
Rest in peace Heath

And to all the shows that keep making up all these stories without knowing exactly what happened Heath should be ashamed of themselves. Let him rest in peace, this is hard enough for everyone.

I send prayers and love to the family and friends of heath. Yes his daughter will grow up without her father but she will know and be reminded that he was an awesome actor and there will always be pictures movies and stories for her to see and hear. God bless his soul. Rest in peace.

I am from South Africa..My condolences goes out to all that are effected by the death of an aspiring actor and of what I have read about him, he was a wonderful person who will most definately be sorely missed...

Ché said:

my heart cries for them...
his soul hurts to be with them again...
to hold them in his arms.
he is screaming in the silence,
as their love transcends all space and time...
he wants to find a way back
but cannot.
michelle feels his presence and sobs
in the darkness,
blaming herself for their loss.
matilda is the creation of their love...
the beauty they shared
the manifestation of their union on earth,
such cherished preciousness.
may the light show them the way together again
someday.
they never stopped loving each other and never will.
