Jennifer Aniston posts ‘a lifetime isn’t’ long after Matthew Perry death

Jennifer Aniston isn’t taking anything for granted this holiday season.

The “Friends” alum, 54, posted an inspirational message on Christmas Day, two months after the death of her longtime friend and co-star Matthew Perry.

“Have you ever sat with yourself and thought about the concept of life? Time goes by FAST,” the reshared message read on Monday. “You don’t get that back. Please go live. Love hard. Let go of fear. Love yourself. Love the people around you.”

“Appreciate the hardships,” the passage continued. “Trust YOUR process. Feed your faith and never forget to FEEL. A lifetime isn’t that long.”

The “Fools Rush In” actor died at his California home on Oct. 28. He was 54. Aniston was joined by her fellow “Friends” cast members — Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc — when Perry was laid to rest at Forest Lawn Church of the Hills in LA on Nov. 3.

Aniston opened up about his death in an interview with Variety, which was published earlier this month.

“I was literally texting with him that morning, funny Matty,” she said through tears. “He was not in pain. He wasn’t struggling. He was happy.”

“He was healthy,” the “Morning Show” actress recalled. “He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy — that’s all I know.”

“I want people to know he was really healthy, and getting healthy,” Aniston added. “He was on a pursuit. He worked so hard. He really was dealt a tough one. I miss him dearly. We all do. Boy, he made us laugh really hard.”

The pair worked on the NBC sitcom for 10 years from 1994 to 2004. At the height of his fame, Perry struggled with substance and alcohol addiction, at one point being driven directly to rehab after he filmed Chandler and Monica Geller’s (Cox) wedding in Season 7. He once acknowledged that it was Aniston who would check on him the most and called him out on set for being able to smell alcohol on his breath.

Nearly 20 years before Perry’s death, Aniston got upset at the thought of losing him during a 2004 Diane Sawyer interview.

“He struggled,” she said, ahead of the show’s series finale. “We didn’t know. We weren’t equipped to deal with it. Nobody had ever dealt with that. And the idea of even losing him … he’s having a road. But he’s all right.”

As The Post previously reported, Perry was undergoing frequent ketamine infusions to treat depression and drug addiction before his passing. His death was caused by “acute effects of ketamine” and accidental drowning, and there was no evidence of foul play.

However, the amount found in Perry’s system could not have been from his final infusion treatment a week and a half before his death as ketamine’s half-life is only three to four hours. It is still unclear how Perry obtained the ketamine that was found in his system.
