Michelle Williams is taking a year’s break from acting so she can have time to mourn the loss of her ex-fiance Heath Ledger.

The actress is mentally exhausted from juggling a busy work schedule and being a full-time mum and she plans to spend more quality time with her daughter Matilda.

"I'm going to take a year off. I think I stopped feeling creative a while ago, and I'm just realising it now,” she tells the New York Times.

"I used to have all the time in the world to daydream and even just to dream and let your unconscious do some of the work for you. Now I'm up at five in the morning and I don't remember what I dreamed about."

Michelle only took a short break after Heath’s death in January from an accidental drug overdose.

The star also hopes to learn a new leisure pursuit to help clear her mind.

"I want to humble myself in front of a task life embroidery. I like how really physical work can free your mind," she says.
