Matilda Rose Ledger, 3, is a spitting image of her late father, Heath Ledger. Matilda was just two when he died, and while her memories of him will fade as she gets older, no doubt her mother Michelle Williams and other Ledger family members, will help keep his memory alive for her.
Michelle is doing her best to raise Matilda as normally as possible, but even she admits her grief after Heath's death is like a flowing river, always changing. However, she and Matlida, have come a long way since Ledger's death almost a year ago.
A pal of Michelle's tells OK!, "Matilda never really understood what happened when he died. It was heartbreaking when she asked for daddy and Michelle had to explain that he wasn't coming back."
The friend added, "Matilda's a really upbeat kid who giggles all the time. That's the one thing Michelle says will make her smile no matter what - hearing her daughter laugh."
Michelle has even found happiness with film director Spike Jonze.
"Things are getting easier, little by little, day by day," said the source. "Slowly she's coming back from the shock and heartbreak."
