Alicia Witt is opening up about the pain and confusion she's still enduring a month after the untimely death of her parents.The alum published a lengthy post Tuesday on Facebook, and addressed the tense moments leading up to the time she found out her parents, Robert Witt, 87, and Diane Witt, 75, were found dead in their Massachusetts home a mere five days before Christmas.«It still doesn't feel real,» Witt started her post. «It's been a month since I got scared, not having heard back from them, and called to have them checked on.

Waiting, phone in hand, praying fervently that the next call would be from them, angry I’d gotten someone else involved. Knowing as soon as I heard the detective’s voice on the other line that they were gone.

Knowing I would never hear their voices again. Beginning the rest of my life of finding them on the breeze, in a song, in a dream.»The actress also revealed she was able to «quietly travel to Worcester earlier this month for a beautiful service and burial, to mourn and to celebrate them in total privacy.» But while her parents' insisted on total privacy, Witt said that privacy's been «stripped away.»A post shared by Alicia Witt (@aliciawitty)«The circumstances around my parents’ sudden passings have become fodder for press, and there are some misconceptions rolling around — understandably so,» Witt explained. «This is very delicate for me to write because I’m wanting to honor their privacy, which they held so tightly.

There’s an awful irony in the fact that, because of the very lengths they went to in order to protect their privacy in life — that privacy has been stripped away in death.
