Ellen DeGeneres is mourning for her close pal Stephen tWitch Boss. The 64-year-old famous talk show host posted a video on her social media channels discussing the intense pain she is currently going through as a result of the passing of her close friend.

“I just wanted to say that the past 11 days have been very tough for everyone. Everyone is in pain and trying to make sense of it. We’ll never make sense of it. The holidays are hard I think anyway, but to honor Twitch the best thing we can do is to laugh and to hug each other and to play games and dance and sing. That’s the way we honor him. We do the things that he loved to do,” said Ellen in her selfie video. 

The video shows an obviously disturbed Ellen saying that everyone is suffering as a result of Stephen’s passing and that the only fitting tribute to Stephen is to laugh and be joyful, even if it may seem impossible. She highlights the need for people to check about the mental health of those they care about.

“It’s hard. It seems impossible, but that’s how we honor him. We hug each other and tell each other we love each other and let people know we’re there for them. Check in on people. Happy holidays everybody. It’s not a happy holiday, but he was pure light as everyone in the comments said. If you knew him, you knew that. If you didn’t know him, you saw it. Let’s honor him and think about him and send love to one another,” said Ellen and concluded the video.
