On Sunday, two weeks after the "Grease" star died at the age of 73, the 36-year-old musician took to Instagram to share touching words by British writer Jamie Anderson.

"All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat and in that hollow part of your chest."

Newton-John died after a three-decade-long battle with metastatic breast cancer on August 8 at her home in Santa Ynez, California.
In a Facebook post, her husband John Easterling wrote that the four-time Grammy Award winner had passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family and friends at the time of her death.

Newton-John waged a very public war with her disease and became an outspoken advocate for breast cancer awareness, early detection and research.

In 2018, the actress revealed that she had been diagnosed the previous year with stage four breast cancer that had metastasized to the base of her spine.
