King also said that as a parent it was difficult for her to witness Alexanders struggles.

Still, King acknowledged, she wrestles with her grief and acceptance.
Sometimes, you know, a lot of guilt comes over me,” she said.
She added, “I know that I share this grief with everyone.
But no one else is Ian’s mom, you know?
And so it’s mine.
And the sadness will never go away.
It’ll always be with me.
