Jennifer Aniston is reportedly struggling deeply with the loss of her “Friends” co-star, Matthew Perry, who tragically passed away on October 28. Less than a year after losing her father, John Aniston, the 54-year-old actress was said to be devastated over Perry’s unexpected death, as they shared a close bond.

“Out of the other five, Jen and Courteney have been taking it the hardest and are fighting to hold it together,” said an insider close to the actress. “Jen probably has it the worst. This is her second major loss in less than a year, and the anniversary of her dad’s death is approaching.

She still hasn’t gotten over that, and Perry’s death is a huge blow. Despite trying to stay strong, Perry’s passing has hit her hard,” the source revealed to Page Six.

Last year, Jennifer took to Instagram to confirm her father’s passing, who died at the age of 89, writing that he was one of the kindest souls she’d ever known. During this time, she leaned on her ex-husband, Justin Theroux, from whom she separated in 2017, for support. According to a close source, Theroux provided substantial comfort and reached out to her almost daily to provide solace.

While Jennifer Aniston is famous for her independent spirit and resilience, she also has a strong support network, and during these difficult times, she has leaned on her friends, including her former co-stars.

On a recent Friday, Jennifer, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc were seen at the last farewell to Matthew Perry at the Forest Lawn cemetery in Los Angeles. They wore black attire as they consoled each other outside the church.

“Ms. Aniston was one of the first to arrive,” said a source who was present during the gathering. Matthew Perry was buried at the Forest Lawn cemetery, which is situated across from the Warner Bros. studio, where “Friends” was filmed for ten seasons.

The cemetery has long been a resting place for numerous Hollywood legends, including stars like Bette Davis, Stan Laurel, Buster Keaton, Michael Jackson, and many more.

Matthew Perry’s passing was a shock to both his friends and the broader public. The beloved actor was best known for his portrayal of Chandler Bing on the iconic television show “Friends.” While he made audiences laugh with his witty one-liners and dry humor, Perry faced many personal struggles off-screen.

However, it’s essential to remember that he had many facets to his life. Not only was he a brilliant comedian and actor, but he was also a writer and had his own battles to face, such as overcoming addiction.

In his memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and The Big Terrible Thing,” published shortly before his passing, he candidly detailed his struggles with addiction to prescription drugs and alcohol.

In his book, Perry shared his journey and the pivotal moments that led him to seek recovery. He courageously admitted to his addiction and opened up about the pressures he faced during his time on “Friends.”

The series was a massive success, and the cast members became some of the highest-paid actors on television, earning around $1 million per episode at the height of the show’s popularity.

Despite the fame and success, Perry’s struggles continued. He felt immense pressure to perform well in front of a live audience, believing that the audience’s laughter was the validation of his talent. If he didn’t get the laughs he expected, he would become anxious and stressed, which took a toll on his well-being.

Although Perry faced enormous challenges, he also found support and overcame his addiction. The strength he exhibited in battling his personal demons and his openness about his struggles endeared him to many fans and inspired those who faced similar challenges.

Perry’s legacy is more than just his memorable one-liners and comedic timing as Chandler Bing. It includes his resilience, personal growth, and his ability to inspire others to overcome adversity.

His passing is a reminder of the importance of compassion and understanding for those who face personal challenges behind the spotlight.

Jennifer Aniston, his dear friend and co-star from “Friends,” is among those deeply affected by his passing. While she faces her own grief and challenges, she continues to lean on her support network. It’s a reminder that even in difficult times, we can find strength in our connections with others.

As we remember Matthew Perry for his wit and humor on screen, let’s also reflect on his courage and resilience in facing the battles of his own life. His legacy extends far beyond the small screen, and his openness about his struggles continues to inspire and uplift those who face similar obstacles.

In the end, Matthew Perry was more than just Chandler Bing; he was a survivor, a writer, and a source of strength for many. His journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of addressing personal challenges with honesty and courage.
