Gray’s Anatomy Alum Katherine Heigl Celebrates Eric Dane’s “Gold” Days After His Loss of life

It’s a beautiful day for Katherine Heigl to remember the life of Eric Dane.

The actress—who costarred alongside Eric on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy—shared a powerful message about grief days after the Euphoria actor died following a yearlong battle with ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).

“I debated this post for days,” Katherine wrote in a Feb. 22 Instagram post. “I have never been comfortable grieving publicly. I share my tears, my stories and my memories with those I’m closest to and more times than not I share them only with the heavens alone. But that silence can often look like a lack of care which I could not abide here.”

She also offered a few kind words to Eric’s family, including his estranged wife Rebecca Gayheart—who shared kids Billie, 15, and Georgia, 14, with the Burlesque actor.

“Rebecca, Billie, Georgia…There is so little, if in fact anything, one can say about a tragic loss like yours,” she continued. “All the ‘I’m sorries’ and ‘my prayers are with you’ ring a bit hollow in the midst of so much pain and grief. So I will say the only thing that has ever brought me peace when I’ve lost someone I love. It is Robert Frost’s poem.”
