The Trebeks are facing a tough time right now due to Alex’s cancer battle, which may be why Jean took to Inside Wink in September 2019 to write about the fact that “letting go isn’t always easy,” and in October, shared her thoughts about “getting through the changes” in life.
“Some transitions can be prepared for, some are totally unexpected, some are wanted, while others are certainly not,” she wrote. “Whatever the case may be — a new baby, a career change, caring for your parents, or perhaps a death of a loved one — transitions happen to all of us, and we all move through them in our own unique way.”
In the second Inside Wink post, Jean wrote about “getting through the changes” that come with life and shared “some suggestions to help ease those times of transitions… that can often bring about feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, fear, and sadness.” She advises those who are struggling to “accept your feelings,” “ask for help,” and “be with your pet,” among other ways to make hard times a little easier.
As for Alex, he talked to W5 in October 2019 about what lies ahead, saying that he’s not afraid of dying. “I’ve lived a good life, a full life, and I’m nearing the end of that life. … Why should I be afraid of it?” A heartfelt and heartwarming sentiment, even if it is heartbreaking at the same time.
