Singer and model Pixie Geldof has been dealt more than her fair share of tragedy in her short 26 years.
Daughter of musician and charity trailblazer Bob Geldof, her mother Paula Yates and her sister Peaches both tragically died young, and she had to deal with the loss while in the media glare.
Following the recent release of her first solo album, she has opened up about how she coped after Peaches died of a heroin overdose aged 25 back in 2014.
It was best pal Nick Grimshaw that steadied her, she told The Guardian. He would distract her from the unrelenting grief in the days before the funeral with episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians while feeding her pizza.
Addressing her attempts to live and move on, she said: "I have a very lovely life. Except there will always be something missing. You don't want to be the kind of person who knows how this feels, but unfortunately, I am."
She added: "I realise now that everyone is just trying to live, as well as they can. And some people can't."
When asked how she is doing, she said after a long pause: "I am… OK. There's no recovery from it. There's no therapy for it. I mean, there's no one day when it won't be bad."

She also described her sister Peaches, saying: "It's beautiful that someone can live a life so short and yet make such an impact. Things stop for a second with people like her. She changed worlds, both when she was alive and when she wasn't."
Peaches' husband Thomas Cohen also spoke earlier this year about finding the strength to overcome his bereavement, saying he "refused to lose [himself] and become a traumatised, grief-stricken single father".
