Now, more than a year after Farrah's death, Ryan still has trouble talking about the great love of his life.

"There's a hole where I wish she was," he says. "Can't fill it in."

"You know that expression that time heals," Oprah says. "Does it get better with time?"

Ryan is quiet. "Not yet," he says. "Not yet."

As for their son, Redmond  has been battling drug addiction and subsequent jail time. Now, Ryan says he's doing better. "He's sober, he's not in jail and he has his own little house," Ryan says. "He's making an effort to make [Farrah] proud."
