Dana Carvey is still on the “grief train” since the sudden passing of her son Dex at age 32.
The comedian returned to his and David Spade’s podcast, Fly on the wall, Wednesday, opening for the first time since his son’s death. Dex was found dead in his home in November, according to the Los Angeles County medical examiner. Dana and his wife, Paula Zwagerman, revealed that he died from “an accidental drug overdose.”
Dana Carvey thanked fans for the “outpouring” of love and support her family has received following the family’s tragic loss. Although she admitted that returning to normal life is not easy, she believes that laughter is the best medicine.
“I thought about this over the holidays and decided to come back to the podcast because I think it’s a long day when you’re not working and you’re in your head,” Carvey said of his return to the podcast. “And I think it will be a great break. And I think it’s really cool to laugh.”
David Spade agreed that “it’s good to do the show again” with Carvey. “We laugh a lot together when we are together. I like to leave you messages and try to make you laugh because simply, things in life happen but we can move on.”
Dana Carvey admits she’s still on the ‘pain train’
Dana Carvey surely thanked his fans and friends for their attempts to help him through these difficult times. However, she explained that healing was something he and his family had to do alone.
“We are the private trip of my wife, myself and our son,” he explained, referring to his youngest son, Thomas.
“We are all together,” he continued of his family’s grieving period. “And we do a lot of fun things. We walk, we go to church. “You just want to make sure you keep moving.”
Returning to the podcast, “reflecting” with David Spade as they did before, “will be very healthy for me as I recover,” Dana Carvey explained.
“Because I’m on the pain train with millions of people on this planet. And you don’t know how long you’re going to be taking it or when it’s going to stop or when it’s going to get better,” she continued. “But in the meantime, all this kind of stuff is very healthy.”
