"    One year after the untimely death of Cory Monteith, his mother, Ann McGregor, has spoken out for the first time in an emotional interview with Good Morning America. &amp;quot;The loss is horrendous,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Until three days ago I couldn&amp;#039;t look at a picture of Cory...So there&amp;#039;s been progress.&amp;quot; While still unable to discuss the night of her son&amp;#039;s death, she is willing to discuss his past. McGregor talked about Monteith&amp;#039;s first &amp;quot;code Blue,&amp;quot; the hospital emergency code indicating a patient needs immediate attention, usually due to a cardiac arrest. &amp;quot;[When] Cory was 15, he did a Code Blue,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I think that was the turning point. He had a lot of emotional things he was trying to figure out. A lot of it was he really wanted a relationship with his father. I think when a child gets invalidated they keep reaching even harder. They want to find out why. I remember after Cory&amp;#039;s first OD, the drive we took, and all we did was stare into his eyes and hug him and look at him, because I had this feeling: I really wanna know him because I&amp;#039;m not going to have him my entire life. That was way back then.&amp;quot; Monteith was estranged from his father for most of his life following his parents&amp;#039; divorce in 1989, People magazine previously reported. McGregor mentioned that she still speaks with Lea Michele, and they are grieving together. &amp;quot;She texts me and emails me,&amp;quot; McGregor said. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s hurting, too. You see the sadness. I know her pain.&amp;quot; Michele and other Glee cast and crew posted their own tributes to Cory on the anniversary of his death last weekend. McGregor reavealed that no one in the star&amp;#039;s life was able to help him. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think we have power to change the choices they&amp;#039;re making,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I think with the kind of connection Cory and I had, if we couldn&amp;#039;t prevent that situation, I don&amp;#039;t have the answer.&amp;quot; Watch the heartbreaking interview, below: ABC News | ABC Sports News  Photo Credit: Getty Images "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
