Jada Pinkett Smith believes ' grief helps her to appreciate life'

Jada Pinkett Smith has confessed that she recently cried her heart out as she was missing all the people who were once in her life but had left her for one reason or another.

The 'After Earth' star's wife said that grief has helped her appreciate her life more, Contactmusic reported.

The 42-year-old actress wrote on her Facebook page that she was missing her grandmother and her friends and loved ones who she had lost to violence, accidents, jail or drugs or was no longer in contact with.

Smith added that her tears felt like rain on her soul because after the allowance of her tears came her gratitude for all that is and for all that was.
