Last year, Riley toldThe New York Timesabout the difficult time she experienced in the months since Benjamin’s death. She described it as “a year of feeling like I was thrown into the ocean and couldn’t swim.”

“The first four or five months, I couldn’t get out of bed.I was totally debilitated.I couldn’t talk for two weeks,” she said.

“It’s very complicated for our minds to put that somewhere because it’s so outrageous,” added Riley. “If I’m going through a breakup, I know what to do with that and where to file it in my mind, but suicide of your brother? Where do you put that? How does that integrate? It just doesn’t.”
