It has been one year since the beloved Olivia Newton-John left us, and her legacy continues to touch the lives of many. Now, her daughter Chloe Lattanzi has bravely opened up about her own health struggles in the aftermath of her mother’s passing.

In an emotional video shared on her Instagram, Chloe revealed the toll that the loss has taken on her. “Since my mom’s passing and the year and a half with her going through cancer, I have not been okay,” she shared candidly. Memory loss, difficulty getting out of bed, and neglecting her own self-care are just a few of the challenges she has faced.

Chloe recognizes the importance of self-care, embracing a valuable lesson her mother taught her. “Take care of you,” Olivia would say. “If you don’t take care of yourself, you cannot give your full capacity of love, wisdom, kindness, and power to everyone else.” It is a message that resonates deeply, reminding us all of the significance of prioritizing our own well-being.

Despite her own struggles, Chloe remains committed to honoring her mother’s legacy and supporting causes close to her heart. On October 8, the annual Olivia’s Walk for Wellness will take place in Melbourne’s Alexandra Gardens. Chloe expressed her intention to participate in the event but also revealed plans for a hiatus afterward, allowing herself time to recover and heal.

“To honor my mind, body, and spirit,” Chloe explained, “I’m going to disappear for about three weeks.” This break is essential as she navigates her own health challenges. Chloe acknowledges that by taking care of herself, she will ultimately be better able to serve and support others—a sentiment that reflects her mother’s teachings and the spirit of the Wellness Walk.

Earlier this year, Chloe shared the final promise she made to her mother before Olivia’s passing. She vowed to soar, to fly, and to find happiness. In her heartfelt tribute during a state memorial service, she spoke of her broken heart and the profound connection she still feels with her mom.

“Now, she’s my safe space, my guide, my biggest fan,” Chloe expressed. “She is here, standing beside me and within me, telling me not to be afraid, reminding me that I am stronger than I think.” It is a testament to the enduring bond between mother and daughter, a love that transcends time and space.

Olivia Newton-John was a tremendous talent, an inspiring figure who touched the hearts of millions. Her legacy lives on, and as we wish Chloe well on her healing journey, we invite you to join us in remembering and celebrating the remarkable woman who was Olivia Newton-John.
