While fans, colleagues, and the casts of the shows and movies that Garson had been a part of all paid their respects to the actor, Sarah Jessica Parker was silent on social media, much to fans' surprise.

However, she has now broken her silence and spoke about how she feels after losing her friend and colleague in a touching tribute which she shared on her Instagram page on Saturday, five days after Garson's death.

The cast of "Sex And The City" were amongst the tributes, but his closest friend on the show was the one who kept quiet the longest, only breaking her silence on Saturday.

SJP'S SILENCE

However, fans noticed that they had not seen a tribute from Sarah Jessica Parker despite their grief. Many drew attention to the fact that although they were good friends both on the show and in reality, SJP had not yet publicly acknowledged Garson's death.

After almost a week of waiting to see whether or not Parker would acknowledge her friend's death publicly, she spoke out via Instagram to share her thoughts and feelings.

SJP'S TRIBUTE

Parker finally took to Instagram on Saturday to let her followers know how she was feeling about her friend passing away and how she was doing because of it. She explained that her silence was her statement until she had made the post on Instagram.

Although Parker waited a while to post the tribute, it is one of the longest tributes that has been posted thus far and truly bares her soul in her feeling's towards her friend in his final days as well as his death.
