I'm only starting to accept his death: late Glee star Cory Monteith's mom

The mother of late 'Glee' star Cory Monteith admitted that she has only recently begun to accept her son's death.

During her appearance on 'Good Morning America', Monteith's mother, Ann McGregor said that it was terrible losing her son, 31, and she couldn't even bear to look at his picture until three days ago, CNN reported.

McGregor admitted to have been keeping contact with Monteith's co-star and lover Lea Michele, and said that she knows Michele's going through the same pain and sadness.

Monteith, who played Finn Hudson on Fox's musical show, and had voluntarily checked himself into rehab, was found dead three months later in a Vancouver hotel room due to deadly intake of heroin and alcohol.

McGregor added that though she couldn't change the decisions taken by Monteith, who had a known history of substance abuse even as a teen, she advised people in similar situation to "live every moment."
