Ella Hooper, the iconic lead singer of ARIA-winning band Killing Heidi, has laid bare her heart-wrenching struggles with grief and loss in a candid new interview. The 42-year-old singer-songwriter revealed that she’s been left feeling “sadder than ever” after a series of devastating personal tragedies.
Hooper’s world was shattered when she lost both her parents in early 2022, just two weeks apart. Her father’s passing was particularly sudden, leaving the family reeling in shock. “My mum had a long cancer journey … my dad had a very sudden and shocking cancer journey, and he actually ended up dying two weeks before my mum, even though we’d been preparing to say goodbye to my mum for a year or more,” Hooper recalled, her voice cracking with emotion.
The singer also revealed that a “very long-term relationship” had ended “not that long ago,” adding to her sense of loss and despair. “There’s been some times where I just don’t want to do anything, and I just want to sort of give up,” Hooper admitted, her words painting a picture of a fragile and vulnerable individual struggling to cope with the darkness that has enveloped her life.
However, in a glimmer of hope, Hooper revealed that she’s been having regular sessions with a therapist to work through her grief. She urged others to do the same, warning against the dangers of “repressing” feelings that need to be examined. “I feel like if you are not in some form of therapy at least once or twice in your life, you’re doing it wrong,” Hooper said, her words laced with a sense of conviction and urgency.
As Hooper navigates this difficult period in her life, she’s finding solace in the memories of her parents, who she described as loving and supportive. “How lucky I was to have two parents that loved me and I loved them. Warts n wings n all,” she wrote in a poignant tribute to her parents after their passing.
In a testament to her resilience and strength, Hooper is slowly beginning to rebuild her life, one fragile step at a time. Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of seeking help and support in times of need, and the enduring power of love and memory to heal even the deepest of wounds.
