Jennifer Garner continues to grieve the lack of her father, William John Garner.
Showing on Tuesday’s episode of the “Lipstick on the Rim” podcast, the “Alias” actor pushed again on the notion that she’d stayed “so positive” within the seven months since her dad died in March.
“We have to allow ourselves to not be perfect all the time, to not be in the mood all the time, to not be smiley,” she stated to host Molly Sims, who’s one in all Jennifer Garner’s shut associates. “I give myself a lot of grace. I’m like, ‘Welp, I couldn’t do it. This was not a day where I was all things to all people.’”
Recalling a time when she left a latest celebration hosted by Sims early when she grew to become emotional, Garner added, “You kind of are where you are, and you just have to find the friends who can handle that for you. Think of how many times I showed up at your house and just started crying because you were safe and you were somebody that I could do that with. That’s nothing to be taken lightly.”

Garner first introduced her father’s loss of life in an April 1 Instagram publish.
“While there is no tragedy in the death of an 85 year old man who lived a healthy, wonderful life, I know grief is unavoidable, waiting around unexpected corners,” she captioned the publish, which included varied footage of her and her dad all through the years. “There is so much to say about my dad— my sisters and I will never be done talking about how wonderful he was, so bear with us— but for today I share these memories with my appreciation for the kind and brilliant man, father, and grandfather he was, as well as the loving legacy he left behind.”
Elsewhere in her “Lipstick on the Rim” chat, Garner credited her three kids ― Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 ― in addition to her shut associates for holding her grounded in the course of the difficult yr.
“Being around people with whom you can laugh and who laugh at you,” she stated. “I have really, really good women. I have wonderful, incredible women around me.”
