Nyong’o emphasized living with grief rather than avoiding it, acknowledging that the experience of loss is intertwined with the love they shared.

On the anniversary of Boseman’s death, she posted a tribute on Instagram, quoting that “grief never ends. But it changes,” and describing grief as a “passage, not a place to stay.” In an earlier interview, she noted the emotional challenge of playing a character with terminal cancer in *A Quiet Place: Day One*, particularly after losing Boseman to cancer. She described the experience as therapeutic, emphasizing the importance of recognizing mortality to live more intentionally.
