James Van Der Beek’s daughter, 9, offers moving advice about grief: ‘I just tell him about my day'

Emilia Van Der Beek, 9, reflected on navigating grief after the death of her father.

James Van Der Beek died Feb. 11 after a courageous battle with stage 3 colorectal cancer. He was 48.

To honor what would have been his 49th birthday, Kimberly Van Der Beek shared a video their daughter recorded to post on social media. 

"As you all know probably now, my dad has passed away, but I'm just going to tell you little tips, or anything that helps you getting through anybody you love who's passing," the little one began.
