At one point, McCurdy uttered the last words she shared with her mother and prompted the screen star to respond: "She was lying in a hospice bed that was set up in our living room, and she was actually just bawling her eyes out."

"Oh, God, I'm going to get emotional. I can feel it already," McCurdy said, fighting back tears. "I've been seeking forgiveness for a very long time, and one day my therapist said to me: 'What if you don't have to seek forgiveness?

" I cried and knew that was what I needed to hear. Because I was trying to find a way to honour my mum and respect [her]. I was still trying to live for her.

"I was still trying to find a way to make it all mean something, because it had to mean something, because it was her"

"That was what I needed to hear. It was very emotional, but, my God, it helped."

McCurdy's mother was diagnosed with cancer for the second time when she was 18, and the star began to overeat. After her death, the singer began to cleanse to cope

With the help of dialectical behavioural therapy - a type of talk therapy that is often effective for people with strong emotions, according to mind.org - McCurdy was able to recover

"I haven't eaten or exercised in years," she told People magazine. "And I feel very deeply and strongly when I say that I'm finally cured."
