Michelle Williams threw herself into work to cope with Heath Ledger's death

Michelle Williams threw herself into work to cope with Heath Ledger's death.
The 'Brokeback Mountain' actress - who is mother to Heath's three-year-old
daughter Matilda - kept as busy as she could in an attempt to avoid thinking
about the actor's untimely passing due to a accidental drugs overdose last
year.
She said: "Work can be great to get you through certain crises. To have
something that you have to show up at and something that generally passes
the time."
Although work helped Michelle through her grief, the former 'Dawson's Creek'
star - who has two films coming out this year - admits she has struggled to
find a balance between work and family life since becoming a mother.
She told Total Film magazine: "I stopped feeling creative a little while ago
and I was just running on fumes. I didn't realise it though. I thought
somebody else would step in and say like, 'Oh, you're exhausted. You have
burnt out. Take a break.' But you have to be your own monitor of that. I
just realised I have to stop and hopefully refuel."
However, the beauty - who is nine months into a year-long break from work -
is finally rediscovering her creative spark.
She added: "I can just notice the change now - sometimes my head just starts
to click again. I start to get curious about a character or a person. It's
good. But I'm not getting antsy. Not yet."
