It’s been a journey of reflection and healing for Kim Cattrall since the tragic loss of her brother, Chris Cattrall, in February 2018. The iconic Sex and the City star has been candid about how her brother’s passing has reshaped her perspective on life, relationships, and the importance of cherishing every moment. In a recent conversation with reporters at Fox’s TCA day on August 7, Kim shared how the experience of loss has profoundly impacted her outlook.
Speaking with remarkable candor, Kim revealed, “Lately, what’s really hit home for me is the idea of loss.” The 62-year-old actress, known for her fierce on-screen presence, admitted that losing not just her brother but also another family member has taught her invaluable lessons. “I haven’t fully processed it yet, but I’ve come to realize how important it is to truly enjoy what you do, who you’re with—whether it’s your family, your friends—or even just the little moments in life,” she said. “When I say goodbye to someone, especially if I won’t see them for a while, I now carry that weight with me. It makes me more mindful, more appreciative.”

Kim Cattrall Reflects on Cherishing Connections
Kim, who was promoting her new show Filthy Rich, emphasized the importance of nurturing connections in her life. “Now, when I think about saying goodbye to someone, I remind myself that I might not see them for a few months—or ever again. So, I want to make those moments count,” she explained. “I’ve come to value these relationships so much more, and they’ve become a priority in how I choose to spend my time. Life is fleeting, and I’ve realized just how precious every second is.”
As Closer Weekly previously reported, Kim turned to social media early last year, seeking the help of fans to locate her missing brother in Canada. At the time, the Police Academy star had shared a photo of Chris, expressing concern about his whereabouts. Tragically, Kim later confirmed his passing in a heart-wrenching post.
“With heavy hearts, my family and I announce the unexpected passing of our beloved son and brother, Chris Cattrall,” she wrote in a poignant message. “We ask for privacy during this difficult time, but we’re incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love and support from everyone on social media.”

Confronting the Pain of Loss
In a candid interview with the UK Sunday Papers last month, Kim opened up about the emotional toll of losing her brother. “There’s this deep well of sadness inside me now,” she confessed. “I’m not the same person who met you in New York before all this happened. This is the ‘after.’ I’ve changed, and I’ll never be the same again.”
Kim also revealed that Chris had taken his own life after battling an undisclosed mental illness that the family was unaware of. “When someone you love dies by suicide, it leaves you with so many unanswered questions,” she admitted. “You find yourself wondering, ‘What could I have done differently? What did I miss?’ It’s haunting. And you have to learn to live with that constant questioning, the guilt, the frustration. It’s a new reality, and there’s nothing you can do to change it.”
We send our deepest condolences to Kim as she continues to navigate this deeply personal and painful chapter in her life. Her words remind us all to cherish the people we love and the moments we share.
