10  We all go through heartbreak in our life, and we all deal with it differently. If I had known anything and could have done anything different, I truly would have. I would have given my life for his life,  Dyna (seen above with RJ at the 2014 Emmy Awards) said. / SplashNews.com

During the interview, Dyna shared her hopes about helping others who are going through similar struggles by speaking publicly about her son's death.

 If me speaking out today might save someone else from going through the same situation, because a mother should never have to find their child this way,  she said.  If I can say one person is helped, I think that's what RJ would expect. 

RJ, who was described by his mom as a  special, special soul,  was best known for his role as Walter  Flynn  White Jr. on  Breaking Bad,  which she called an  incredible experience for [her] son.
