"Taylor would likely feel the most comfortable with Barbara Walters,” the source says. “Taylor expects to be asked the tough questions, and will answer them.

“The interview will most likely happen in the next month or so, and not sooner. Taylor needs a bit more time before she is ready to talk about the suicide.”

Meanwhile, Taylor is trying hard to put back the pieces of her shattered life following the gruesome discovery of Russell’s body, hanging at a friend’s home on August 15.
