Matthew Perry's Sister Feels His Presence, Honors Him With Addiction Support House
Matthew Perry, the actor from 'Friends,' passed away a couple of years ago.
His sister, Caitlin, still feels like he is around and can even imagine what he would say.
To remember him and help others, she started a special house in Canada called the Matthew Perry House.
This house is like a center that helps people who are trying to stop using drugs or alcohol.
It offers them doctors, help with their feelings, advice on finding jobs, and support for their families.
The goal is to make it easier for people to get better after they have a problem with addiction.
Caitlin feels that even though it's hard to lose her brother, creating this house gives a purpose to something very sad.
Matthew Perry's sister, Caitlin Morrison, states she still feels his presence two years after his death.
Morrison founded the Matthew Perry House, a nonprofit in Ottawa, Canada, to support addiction recovery.
The organization aims to fund research and provide long-term post-treatment support for individuals recovering from substance use disorders.
The first Matthew Perry House facility will offer services including healthcare, mental health treatment, career counseling, and family therapy.
Morrison reflects on coping with grief, noting that specific anniversaries are a 'permission to cry'.
