Melissa Rivers, the daughter of the famous host and comedienne, the late Joan Rivers, opened up about her life after her mother passed away in the latest issue of AARP the Magazine.

Melissa tackled what was life like after her mother passed away especially since she will be raising her son by herself. Joan Rivers' daughter opened up about how she is currently in mourning the loss of her mother who passed away just last fall.

"I was part of a comedy team. I was the straight man. And now I'm a solo act. That's the hard part. I'm trying to find my voice," she told AARP The Magazine adding how she missed everything about her mom "I'm still in that deification phase. You miss even the s--ttiest things: I miss when she'd come in and rearrange my furniture and tell me how I ran my house wrong and criticize everything. I miss the criticism! I'm still in that phase," she said.

Melissa, during one of the hardest times of her life also acknowledged the love and comfort people gave her including her boyfriend then. "A number of people really surprised me. My boyfriend is one. I'd never seen him as someone dependable and strong and who gave a crap. He said he'd never seen me defenseless and didn't want to see me that way again."

Apparently, being in a relationship at such a hard time in her life was indeed surprisingly relieving for her. "As any therapist will tell you, probably not the best time to get into a relationship! But we figure it can't get any worse," she added.

Meanwhile, as Melissa shared the challenging days she faced, she also shared how it was difficult to decide whether or not to take her mom off life support. But she decided it anyway as she thought of how Joan is as a person.

"She had a living will and an advance directive that was very specific," she explained adding, "My mother's definition of quality of life was having all her faculties and being able to go on stage for one hour and, here was the kicker, be funny. As hard as it was, I knew it was the right decision."
