So powerful

Having lost my father at the young age of 63 and then my mother 18 years later, the feeling of loss and grief is carried throughout your lifetime. Thank you for being so open and honest and vulnerable with us.

Thanks for sharing with us! #griefishard

Grief is hard. Mourning is hard. Sharing the stories and memories of your loved ones is healing.

I gasped out loud!

Listening to Stephen and Andy talk about their grief,made me realize we are similar. I I counted how many days my older brother lived. then when I got to become the age that he was when he died I had a little breakdown because I could never imagine becoming older than him and when I lost my dad I lived out of state and having to come home to my childhood home and have to pack up everything and figure out what could I take there was my brother's things and things like you I would never use but what had meaning and being the only person left in our family. I thought I had finished grieving or had at least come to a big part but I was trying to do it silently because other people got worried about me talking about it so much. I just wanted to say thank you for allowing others to process this with you.

What a gift. Thank you.

Anderson has cracked open the conversation on grief and loss. Having experienced so much loss himself he allows the listeners grief to become part of the conversation he has begun. Thank you to all who shared, spoke and were vulnerable with their experiences.

The cracks in each of us is how the light gets in. Sharing those cracks allows the light to expand into others.

Well, THIS is new—when it shouldn’t be.

How very important! No one sees how misshapen it makes our souls when we lose loved ones—and how long this can go on. But we must not let it take us, and finding the helpful ways to speak about our losses is not wrong, only sad sometimes. Like President Biden, it helps me when I see aspects of my loved ones who are gone, in others who are still here. In this way, I can live each new each day while keeping them close. But, it is an odd parallel universe to inhabit. We don’t talk much about it and so I can only speculate that many of us probably live this way. Thanks for using the means of a podcast—really kind of perfect in its only-audio way—to reveal more about how we grieve while we continue to live.

Dear, Loving, Powerful — You MUST listen to this Podcast!

Thank you, Anderson Cooper, for allowing us a peek inside your grief. It truly is helping me deal with my own grief. It’s a subject that’s RARELY spoken of, and certainly not by people who influence the work and thoughts of others. I know your Mom — and from a farther distance your Dad and brother — would be proud of this work. I listened to the first three casts on one evening, and I can’t wait for the next ones. Hearing Stephen Colbert speak so openly about how the loss of his father and two brothers when he was so young showed me a glimpse of why he’s such a caring (even when funny) interviewer. Hearing BJ Miller speak so openly about going into medicine after losing three limbs humbled me. I keep remembering something I read a long time ago. The only way out of grief is through. You’re helping me — and probably many others — to feel those feelings. And not to take on board the pop-culture view of “just get over it”. The grief has gotten easier to bear, but it’s still there and sneaks up on me. And I know it always will. As Queen Elizabeth II said after the September 11th attacks, “Grief is the price we pay for love.” Again, thank you.

Helpful with Healing

This is the first podcast I've ever listened to. It's such an extraordinary story. I love Anderson, I always think of him as a real person. Someone you could sit and talk with hours. Listening to him talk about his loss,as well as his quest's stories, has been so helpful. I listened and would say things like, that's how I feel, or that's what I did. Anderson mentioned feeling as though he's the last man standing, I say that often.
I lost my dad, my eldest brother, and most recently my second oldest brother. With him, I felt as though I lost a spouse of 54 years, because we were always together.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and stories.

Love

Opening up, deeply, something that I feel that I can be good at; if I had another soul that tried to open up with me.
