Beaming from magazine covers, it’s hard to believe that actress Sophia Bush suffered a personal tragedy earlier this year.
The 33-year-old’s ex boyfriend, Google executive Dan Fredinburg, was trekking Mount Everest when a devastating earthquake in Nepal caused a massive avalanche.
He was one of ten people killed during the horrific disaster.
Speaking to Health magazine, Sophia said: 'Losing one of my best friends a few months ago shattered me,'
“There were days I felt like my body had been turned inside out. I felt like my heart was on the outside of my body and everyone who came near me was stabbing me.”
Sophia- who was previously married to Tree Hill co-star Chad Michael Murray- has had a fresh perspective on life since losing one of her closest friends.
She said: “And the crazy thing is that since Dan died, the lessons have come like Mack trucks.
“There is no next time. There is no excuse to wait a day to do what you want to do and to change the way that you want to change.”
Sophia and Dan dated for a year but split in 2014, just months before the businessman and activist flew out to Nepal.
The Chicago PD star is now single again after splitting from her co-star Jesse Lee Soffer in June.
