“I haven’t been too available lately,” he began in a shaky voice. “But I imagine most of you know that Lynn Shelton died at about 12:45 a.m. on Saturday morning. She was my partner, she was my girlfriend, she was my friend, and I loved her. I loved her. A lot. And she loved me – and I knew that. And I don’t know that I’d ever felt what I felt for her before.”

After a pause, he added. “I do know, actually. I did not. I have not. I was getting used to love in the way of being able to accept it and show it properly in an intimate relationship.”

Shelton, a director, writer and producer known for her work on Humpday and more recently the miniseries Little Fires Everywhere, died Friday in Los Angeles of complications from a previously unidentified blood disorder. She and Maron had been collaborating on a screenplay at the time of her death.
