As devastating as it was for the public to process the death of Robin Williams last August, no one's loss was greater than that of the comedian's three children, Zak, Cody, and Zelda. Zelda, in particular, has emerged as a bedrock of strength and poise in her efforts to honor her father's legacy. Now, six months after his suicide, the 25-year-old woman is speaking publicly on Today.
Williams sat down with correspondent Kate Snow in an interview that aired this morning. After explaining her efforts to carry on her father's charitable work through the Noble Awards, Williams touched on her struggle to pick up the pieces.
"It's going to take a lot of work to allow myself to have the sort of fun, happy life that I had, but that's important," the voice actress told Snow. "Anybody who has ever lost anyone works very hard to continue that memory in a positive way."
Williams added that she doesn't think "there's a point" in digging into the reasons why the beloved actor took his own life. For her, it's more important to accept it and move on.
"You know it's taking it one step at a time," she added. "The world keeps spinning. There's no point questioning it and no point blaming anyone for it, and there's no point blaming yourself or the world or whatever the case may be because it happened and you have to continue to move and you have to continue to live and manage."
