Paulina Porizkova is bravely sharing details of the final moments she had with her late husband Ric Ocasek of The Cars.

As you know, the rockstar passed away in 2019 at age 75 in his sleep — he suffered from a cardiovascular disease and pulmonary emphysema. On Wednesday’s episode of Red Table Talk, the supermodel opened up about the day her husband of 28 years passed to host Jada Pinkett Smith. She told of how Ric was recovering from surgery due to having stage 0 lung cancer — the two of them both believed everything was going well, and despite going through with a divorce at the time, she stuck by him through his battles:

Porizkova even recalls ensuring her partner everything was going to be fine:

The 57-year-old said she and their two sons Jonathan and Oliver were there throughout the whole process — making their beloved dad dinner and making sure he was doing well. And everyone seemed optimistic:

Sadly, things weren’t as fine as the family had hoped…

One night the Anna star went out for a friend’s birthday and made sure her sons were there to take care of Ocasek. On her way home she bought warm cookies to share, but when she got home she didn’t know this would be the last moments she had with her husband:

Tomorrow would never come for Ric…

Paulina said it wasn’t abnormal for the rocker to sleep in due to his crazy schedule when touring, but she became concerned when it got later in the day and he still wasn’t awake:

When she got up to his room she emotionally recalled how he seemed to be asleep:

Heartbreaking…

It was in this moment the model went into a state of shock and passed out — as anyone would in such a horrifying situation:
