Kate Winslet regrets abandoning dying ex-boyfriend

Kate Winslet regrets abandoning her dying ex-boyfriend - even though he told her to.
Winslet dated actor and writer Stephen Tredre for five years, until he ended their romance in 1997 - fearing her fledgling Hollywood career would suffer if she spent her days caring for him.
After Winslet finished filming Titanic, Tredre died of bone cancer. Kate was not at the premier of blockbuster because she instead attended his funeral in London.
But Kate wishes never agreed to Stephen's wishes.
The actress - who is now married to director Sam Mendes - explains, "Stephen let me go, and that as an act of love from one human being to another was overwhelming.
"When I look back, I wish he hadn't. I wish I had just been there. To the bitter end. He was gone very quickly and – I still go over those moments in my head.
"I talk about Stephen as if I still love him. But I do. I hope I always will.
"You don't (get over a death), you learn to live with it. I look back on it... and I still get upset when I talk about it."

Guilt is a part of the grieving process.

I understand why Jolie tears up over her mother, my parents passed away in 2004 and I still burst into tears, I don't see a time when it will ever get any easier. Maybe it's not supposed to so we feel grateful for the time we have.

kate Winslet is a class act.

Goodness, that's sad.

What an unselfish thing he did--let her go so she could pursue her career as he's entering the end of his life.

*shivers*

I always wondered what happened there. The media spun it pretty viciously when she left him, but considering she skipped the premier to be at his funeral it never quite rang true.

I think you are thinking about when she got divorced from her first husband, Jim. She had met Jim after Steven died. Yes, the press really turned on her when she divorced Jim
