Chloe Lattanzi is thinking of her mom Olivia Newton-John.
Emotional quote!
Nearly two weeks after the Grease star died, her 36-year-old daughter shared a moving quote on Instagram about life and loss.
"Grief, I've learned, is just love," the quote from Jamie Anderson began. "It is all the love you want to give but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest.

Olivia Newton-John died of cancer
Newton-John died on August 8 at age 73, five years after she announced that she was diagnosed with breast cancer metastasizing to the sacrum.
One of the first stars to publicly share their health crises, the four-time Grammy Award winner revealed in 1992 her first diagnosis of breast cancer.
Her battle, which included a partial mastectomy, chemotherapy, and breast reconstruction, ultimately led to the creation of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre in Melbourne. In the decades since, Newton-John became an advocate for cancer awareness and research.

'Window in the Wall'
This is not the first time Chloe, whom Newton-John shares with former husband Matt Lattanzi, has opened up on social media about her mom.
The day after Newton-John died, the actress and singer, are only children, shared a video on Instagram of her and her mom recording their duet "Window in the Wall," which they released as a single in January 2021.
The footage shows the close bond the mother and daughter shared, with the two almost always shown standing or sitting right next to each other while on camera.
Lattanzi captioned, "You are my lighthouse mama. My safe place. My heart space," adding, "It's been my honor and continues to be my honor to be your baby and best friend. You are an angel on earth and everyone touched by you has been blessed."
She added, "I love you forever my life-giver, my teacher, my mama."

Heart-melting snaps:
Hours after Newton-John's death was announced, Lattanzi posted sweet photos with herself and the "Physical" singer through the years.
The carousel began with a throwback of Lattanzi as a little girl, adorably grabbing her mother's face for a kiss, and ends with more recent photos of the pair.
In May 2017, Newton-John shared that she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer that had spread to her back.
In an interview in February 2021, Newton-John said Lattanzi being by her side helped her during her tough journey.
Newton-John said of attending Lattanzi's wedding and releasing, "I'm so lucky to be still doing all these things," adding "Window in the Wall" at the time. "I don't think I imagined living this long! I feel very blessed."
Though they always shared a tight bond, Newton-John and Lattanzi became even closer as they were quarantined together in California during the coronavirus pandemic. Lattanzi eventually moved to Portland, Oregon, but revealed in late July that she had moved back to be near Newton-John.
