London, Jan 4 (Inditop.com) Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock says she still grieves the death of her mother whom she lost to cancer nine years ago.

Bullock, 45, insists she is still struggling to cope with the loss, reports express.co.uk.

“It took me two years to accept that she’s not here. It doesn’t get easier, it just gets harder. But it’s a good thing because I feel it and I value it and I am not rushing through life,” said Bullock.

According to the actress, she found it easier to deal with the grief by using her power to help other women suffering from cancer.

“I love to do things that continue what she started, whether it’s making candles or creating a place for women going through chemotherapy or to spend time with their families,” she said.
