Hong Kong actor Gabriel Harrison has made his first public appearance since the death of his wife Effie Mok in November 2025.
In a recent interview with Hong Kong media, the 53-year-old broke down in tears as he revealed his ongoing struggle to come to terms with the loss.
“I had previously met with my cousin and a pastor. The pastor told me that when you have spent many years with your partner, experiencing depression after their passing is normal. It’s only a matter of how long it lasts,” he shared.
When asked if he had ever dreamed of his late wife, Harrison replied in the negative but said he often feels her presence.
The TVB star said: “I don’t know if it’s an illusion. When I sleep, almost every night, I feel as though she’s standing by my bed, smiling. I’d tell her, ‘I love you very much'.”
Harrison also admitted that he currently lacks the emotional strength to sort through Mok’s belongings.
“It’s not that I can’t give them away. I just don’t have the strength to face it right now. Items with sentimental value will definitely be kept," he said.
Harrison first met Mok, a makeup artist, while working in Beijing in 2012. They married in 2017.
Last November, Harrison took to social media to appeal for financial help to fund his wife’s liver transplant, which cost around HK$1.5mil (RM761,053).
After spending 20 days at Queen Mary Hospital, Mok – who was in critical condition – was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) at Guangzhou's Zhongshan Hospital.
Although Mok was reported to be in stable condition on Nov 12 while awaiting a suitable donor, she ultimately succumbed to her illness on Nov 27.
