Jennifer Love Hewitt knew she had "a job to do" amid her grief.
The 45-year-old actress - who has Autumn, 10, Atticus, nine as well as three-year-old Aidan with her husband Brian Hallisay - lost her mom Patricia Mae in 2012 when she passed away following a battle with cancer and noted that she tried to still "make things magical" during that time for the sake of her children.
