Eric Braeden Shares News of a Close One Passing Away
Eric Braeden has been portraying the role of Victor Newman for more than 4 decades now. He has been on our screen every week, entertaining us and truth be told, without him Young and the Restless would not be the same. Talking about Braeden’s on screen character, he is different from it except for some parts. Just like Victor, Braeden has that tough guy persona having gone through some very difficult moments in life.

He was born during the height of World War 2, so hearing bombs and alarms going off was like his everyday. To make the situation even worse, Braden also lost his father at just the age of 12, so you can imagine how hard it must be for his mom and family during that time. And like his childhood wasn’t hard enough, just last year he found out he had cancer too. But like the fighter he is, he fought the cancer and is now cancer free. He got his health back and he is even starting to box again. Another thing that Victor and Braeden have in common is the importance of family. Family is above all for Braeden and holds them very close to his heart but just recently, he revealed about a heartbreaking loss of one of his family members.
Braeden took to his Twitter to share the news about one of his own passing away with a picture. In the picture, we could see two little girls with one of them putting her arms around another and saying something. Then in the caption, Braeden went on to explain that the two little girls were actually his granddaughters and it was taken during the hard time. He said, “The youngest granddaughter consoling her sister after a memorial for their one grandfather!”
I’m so sorry for your loss, my sister lost two of her grandsons in a car accident and the other grandson survived that was in the car but didn’t know if he was going to make it for awhile. It will never be the same. You have beautiful granddaughters so glad to see them together

Fans sent in their heartfelt messages, and some even shared their own tragedies with the actor. When one fan mentioned how her sister lost two grandsons and nearly lost another in a car accident, Braeden responded, “That’s too much to handle! Give your sister a big hug!” Another fan commented on how much the granddaughters had grown and how they must look forward to his visits, Braeden replied,”Yes, as I can hardly wait to see them!”
His granddaughters are indeed special, and it’s heartbreaking that they are going through such a difficult time. Experiencing loss at such a young age is very hard. But the same goes for Braeden too. Our heartfelt condolences goes out ot the whole Braeden family.
