I lost my son before he was born. But he was big enough that we could hold him and cuddle him for a few hours. I speak the same way. And am so proud of him and love hearing his name. The sadness never goes. But you can't not be proud and happy when talking about someone you love x

@Ishmael One of my friends from high school lost her boy a little while ago to cancer. She would regularly post about their fight, and I had to start waiting till I was alone to read them because I cried every time. Towards the end and after, it was brutal to even witness.
“He said Henry’s name…” After our son died, this really was (and still is) the greatest way to honour him. When people use his name it gives him a place in this world forever 💙
"A heart that hurts, is a heart that works." You don't even know how much I wish I could've heard that just once growing up. It would've made such an impactful difference. I will definitely remember that for the rest of my life. I started crying as soon as he said, "My Henry." That was so gut wrenchingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift of words and meaningfulness. My condolences for your sweet Henry and the rest of your family. 💜
It's like what my mom used to tell me. "atleast you know you're still alive when you feel pain". Everytime I'd cry she'd make sure to make it something I shouldn't feel ashamed of but it's something that makes me human. 💕 Love her much
I could never talk about the death of a loved one in such a public manner without absolutely falling apart. This man's strength and courage are an inspiration. I'm truly sorry to hear of his dear son's passing.

I'm a child cancer survivor and I consider myself among the fortunate ones. I was only 3 at the time in 1973. I lost an eye but got a life. Much love and continued healing to Mr. Delaney.

The reason I didn't do it at your sons age is because of the pain I knew I would cause my family. In the 10 years since, all I can think of now is how unnecessary the idea of it was.
I lost my 9 month old daughter in the same year as Rob. The way he lit up when he was asked to talk about his son is the same feeling I get with my daughter. It can seem scary to ask someone about their child who passed, but trust me when I say it makes us happy to talk about them.
Man, this month is the anniversary of when she past 6 years ago. So to get this message from you (even tho I know I’m a couple months late) is truly appreciated. But my favorite thing about her was how much she loved to eat. She was eating foods we never would’ve given to our other kids at her age. Thinking about that now feels like she knew her time was short and she was trying to enjoy every moment. Thank you so much for asking🫶🏽🤞🏽❤️
Yes, it seems hard to ask someone about a lost child, in fear that it takes them to an isolated sad place....but as a parent, nothing brings greater joy than talking about them!!!
This is upsetting. I have a 2 year old girl myself and if she wasn't in my life any longer, I can confidently say it would be the worst grief I'd ever experience in my life. I hope you're doing well and keeping the memory of her in your heart 🙏
So much respect to a person that can lose a child and still be this candid and loving. My daughter just turned one and the fear of losing her crosses my mind and I honestly just don't know how I'd ever get to that point. Much love to anybody grieving the loss of a child.
Listening to this as a father of a one year old just hits so different. Can't imagine the pain and heartbreak rob and his family went through. And to tell the story and turn it into something positive take so much strength. Mad props to Rob
Some people learn to deal with grief easier than others. This man obviously found a path that helped him significantly. As a parent of 3 boys, much respect for Rob.
@@charlottec9858 agreed... that man is definitely in a lot of pain and always will be, however he does have a good coping mechanism working and is putting forth convicted effort to make a positive of a negative outcome. Very moving and powerful conversation to listen to for sure.

Getting to the stage of remembering the good times is beautiful.
It's so different for sure. I didn't grieve my uncle passing until I went to a funeral for a lady I never met. (She was a friend of my step mom's at the time) I wept throughout the whole thing, thinking of my uncle
0:26 The look of excitement on his face! That little boy was too young to understand that he was sick. All he knew was that his family LOVED him. That’s a good life in my eyes.
When Rob said ‘Describe my Henry’… Leah and Rob, thank you for the strength and for the opportunity to learn from you! Your love for Henry can only inspire!
What a brave soul this bloke is. You can see the warmth and calmness all through him even though he’s been through the worst tragedy you can experience. Nothing but admiration for the person he is
My aunt lost her son to cancer when he was 10. Also when the boy struggled through treatment her husband fell in love with someone else. She`s also had breastcancer herself. The way she`s dealt with it through excercise and strong will baffles me, and inspires me beyond anything I`ve personally experienced or endured.
Wow, that’s a lot of strength and determination. I’ve seen statistics show a marriage is going to have trouble surviving the death of a child as it’s so painful and hard to grieve. I remember hearing, when fighting is the only option, fighting isn’t as hard. I thought of that battling addiction but that’s nothing compared to what your sister endured. You should encourage her to write a book!
When he said “he said Henry’s name” as a mother who’s lost a child, you’ll never understand, unless you’ve been there, what it means when someone says their name 🥺
Pain is temporary, but love and hope never die. We all have ways of coping, but losing a child is something no one can ever prepare for. His Henry’s story is helping someone in the world somewhere.
I know what Rob means. For a while after my mum died I felt an anger I never thought I could. Then you start talking and you recall all the times she made you laugh and the anger dissaptes and you remember the joy and love.
And in truth and reality he's a day late and a dollar short but he want that dollar more than that day so he's suffering and paying the price now and it's obvious he doesn't care he made his decision and he's happy with it
It’s been 5 years since I lost my dad, it doesn’t get easier with time like people say, you just learn to live with the hurt, embrace it in a way. The pain and grief can teach you a lot on the other side, my best friend sent me this quote right after I lost my dad, “As much as I want him to, my dad is never coming back, and I thought I couldn’t live without him. Now I know I can, I think that would make my Dad proud, which is all I ever wanted.” It gets better, you’re not alone ❤
I have three boys myself. Not a second taken for granted nor how lucky I am. Massive respect to this guy and his attitude. Turned something no parent wants to consider into a healing process for him and his family.
Lost my baby girl last year, one of the hardest challenges me and my wife ever faced together. And it made me feel even worse knowing that this was actually the second child my wife has lost so it was much harder on her than me. I've never cried so much in my life. Rip to my baby Jaleah and ja'mari, mommy and daddy loves and misses you both very much
@@carlosdanger7907 I appreciate that bro, I know I will see them again when it's time. Thank you so much for the kind words and may God bless you and yours
Rob is so candid and honest about his journey through grief after losing Henry. If he had to stop writing to cry or puke, he did and then returned to the task. Tragically, children die of illness or in accidents and it's time it stopped being a kind of taboo. Yes, it seems to go against the natural sequence of things but it happens. We need to talk about it and learn what we can do to be of support.
It'll always stay a sensitive topic and for good reasons. I don't think it is taboo or ever was, just that the approach required is much different to other similar situations. Definitely agree that more support is needed for such parents.
My son is 6 months old. A first time father, who didnt want to be a father, but as soon as he was born, I was pulled by a gravity unlike anything, towards him. I love nothing in this world near the amount that I love my son. know I couldn't cope if I lost my boy. It's so crazy to even hear someone talk about losing their child and keep it together. Such a strong man! Lovely guy
My partner lost her 3yr old son also named Henry in 2010 in a car accident, the emotions Rob described are exactly that. You never get over it but you get through it, and yet you never forget. Sending you much love Rob and your family, May your sweet boy Henry rip.
I lost my daughter Marie in 2021 and I still cry when I think of her which is a lot. It's natural to get upset when people talk about our loved ones we have lost.
Rob articulates himself so well that he pulls you in close with such brutal honesty….I wept the entire time and wished only to hug him and his wife so tightly 💔
As someone who lost my daughter who was under a year old what he says is 100% true… there are no words. The people that made us food, just came to hang out or just take me for lunch or go for a drive is what made the difference. If anyone else recently lost their child you never get over it… you learn to live with it and feeling those emotions ain’t wrong. Keep moving forward 💪
I've heard him talk about his son a few times and it makes me smile cause how happy he is describing him and makes me die inside when he talks about his death it's horrible no parent should Bury there child. It's even more difficult cause his wife gave birth around the same time as his son died.
This man just has amazing energy, that even in his own grief and with his own loss he still makes people around him smile and feel warm . I can’t imagine his pain but his words will help heal lives
Honestly after watching this Rob's story, I realised am not the only person who had to go through same pain & stressful situation. When my Mom died of cancer next to me, I was enraged to the fact that she died from this disease, I was very sensitive & easily angered at friends & family members who started to question me how she died to the point that I assumed these people may accuse me of something or doubting my love toward my mother. I was worried so much about their opinions & even found it harder to ignore them to the point that I wished I could write about my feelings/ my story to alert these people that they were completely wrong & I should show them how much pains that we should live with this loss & that we are just the children who love our Mom. Thank you Rob for open my heart
This interview is devastating and so intimately honest. God Bless Rob Delany, the Delany family, and anyone else who has dealt with the loss and grief of losing a loved one.
The absolute strength it must take to even talk about this in general, nevermind on tv, shows unreal strength, you can tell the pride he felt for his son overrides the sorrow, and my absolute respect for his art being able to be transformed into writing something that will help others in that situation.
I have a 3 year old Henry. It's unfathomable for this to happen. Respect to Rob for raising awareness and having the strength to talk openly and publicly about this heartbreak 🙏
No parent should have to bury a child. I respect that he said that his son died and not "passed away" or wherever sugar coat that people use. This guy is a real one.
@@SheilaR.08 so he's got something in common with old Joe Biden huh.. deceased children that no one knows about and never stopped their careers one bit.. whatsoever..
I literally started crying when he lit up saying my Henry. Rob seems like such a sweet and genuine person and that he can now celebrate Henry’s life given how short it was, is truly inspiring. And also I love the love people are sharing toward rob and Henry. I just saw Deadpool and Wolverine the other day, and obviously with superhero movies you have to stay until the end, they added a dedicated to Henry which was so sweet and touching.
I lost a close friend to suicide in February, there’s very little that makes me happier than getting an opportunity to talk about her. I love talking about who she was, the things that interested her, the things that were important to her. And in all honesty I’m really happy to see that that’s normal for someone who is grieving a loved one.
Jesus, I have a 5 week old boy and already could not imagine life without him. Rob’s story is inspiring but also frightening. You just can’t prepare for such a tragedy.
Lost my Daughter in August , I feel every little bit of what Rob says and feels here... my heart breaks for him ... no-one should have to go through this...
I’m so sorry man I lost my grandpa also back in august it’s really crazy to think another stranger went through the same thing on the planet somewhere same as me my condolences ❤️
To overcome a loss of someone that close and who you are meant to protect and raise is to continue to overcome. He's such a strong man for this. My Brother lost his first born son, I'm constantly trying to be as respectful of his space as possible.
When he talks about his son with such love and smiles when talking about him is the greatest tribute to him a father can do. Rob is a legend and one of the strongest people I’ve ever seen. Nothing but respect to him and his family ❤.
"If I had to stop to go cry or puke I would"... As a father, the amount of absolute visceral emotional pain at just the THOUGHT of losing a child his hard, nevermind actually losing one. 🙏
Wow! Listening to Rob talk about Henry and just his whole outlook makes me want to read his book. He’s absolutely right that grief and work can be compatible. I am so sorry for their loss.
No parent should ever lose a child. At this young age simply breaks your heart. So good to hear that he still has a lot of love in his heart. Stay strong Rob. And every other parent who goes or went through this. I hope i never will.
“ I was angry at first-I wanted everyone to know what our family went through-everyone asks what can they do for you-make a copy of their key and go do things for them, clean their house,cook them a meal,just sit and keep company…” All mostly accurate for what loosing my daughter (13yo)was like. I was angry, broken. Our family became incomplete and how should we go on without our Izzy! We have chosen to face our grief together as we cry,laugh, and keep Izzy alive in our everyday life even if we don’t talk about it much. We have a common knowledge of awareness of who we are. We are a family of 6, forever till we meet again💜
Spectacular interview. When people come out of ordeals like this with the humility and wisdom that he has, they are an immense resource for the rest of us, if we can listen.
I’m currently going through the same thing as his son. But Henry, at 2 years old, having to go through that is just incredible. What a brave child and brave family.
@@konohaarchive150 What are you talking about? Of course they don’t understand the in and outs of cancer, brain tumours, surgery and the treatments they’re receiving, etc. You’d hope that part would be between the doctors and the parents. At 2 years old children can empathise with others and are starting to understand their own, and others emotions. But a 2 year old going through surgery and treatment would without doubt feel the physical pain and could be frightened with regards to the environment around them, like hospitals, people in white coats and masks, etc. if you don’t want to see that as being brave, then…….
I watched and listened to this with my 3 year old son laying his head on my chest. The Rock isn’t the only one shedding a tear or 7… my biggest fear is loosing my kids. I don’t wish them the pain of having to bury me, but not for a second do I think I would be strong enough to have to bury one of them either. That’s something a parent should never have to go through. Absolutely heart wrenching.
Never realised how strong Rob was, the strength to focus on the good is so commendable. It's easy to do it with small issues... but the loss of your child and yet he smiles and speaks of love vs the grief, beautiful and such a strong sense of character.
This is too real for me, I have a 1 year old son and I can't even think about something like that without having tears in my eyes, actually I can't even talk about him without getting emotional, having children has changed me for the better I think, I'm so in touch with my emotions since having him
This is so beautiful! In 94, my daughter passed 2 weeks before her 6th birthday from Leukemia. She endured many things for 4 1/2 years of her brief life. So, so courageous! My greatest hero! This book is a must read!
Geez, who could blame him. I don't have any kids but I can imagine the hurt that comes with losing one must be horrible. Kids are my weakness and hearing him speak so lovingly about his son who passed made me teary eyed.
My son (first child) will be 10 months officially tomorrow and imagining him no longer with me in this world is something I can never believe I’ll ever accept moving forward. Not hearing him laugh or not being able to smell him is something that would cripple me. Rob is so strong both as a parent and a human being. 🙏🏻
People can say what they want but Rob and The Rock are awesome. Rob is so happy to speak about his son, and is happy to remember how The Rock sent him a message to perk him up. It only takes a moment to think of others in their time of need. ❤❤❤
Rob has helped me so much in coming to terms with losing my boy, Bob, 2 years ago. He was 35, fit and active with a lovely partner Dani and two gorgeous children. Cancer got him, but I will treasure always their wedding in hospital and then we miraculously got him home to die 2 days later. Rock on Bob wherever you are. We miss you but we carry on. Dad x
I’ve just lost my mum to cancer and it’s hard… BUT the way I watched Rob talk about he’s situation made me think & feel abit different about my whole situation… Very powerful way with he’s words and very strong along the way for he’s family / work life…. Big respect to Rob 💙
I am absolutely humbled by the way that Rob deals with grief and the loss of his baby boy. I saw him warming up for his stand up tour in September 2019. And he was extremely funny and most likeable. Henry and his other kids are lucky to have a daddy like him.
Props to the interviewer. all the question were phrased with open ends for him and left to allow him to talk. Never really interrupts, keep eye contact with someone who is baring their soul. Also goddamn the Rock is so good on timing.
Lost my son unexpectedly 10 months ago. Everything he says is correct. I went back to work after a week and half....i needed structure back to be able to function again. I took the time i needed away for affairs related to my son, i cried. I breathed. I just couldn't sit around and do nothing.

My aunt lost her son to cancer when he was 10. Also when the boy struggled through treatment her husband fell in love with someone else. She`s also had breastcancer herself. The way she`s dealt with it through excercise and strong will baffles me, and inspires me beyond anything I`ve personally experienced or endured.
That's what i call a wonder woman
losing children so young to something beyond your control is as tragic as it gets, lots of respect for her
What an incredibly strong and inspiring woman!
Wow, that’s a lot of strength and determination. I’ve seen statistics show a marriage is going to have trouble surviving the death of a child as it’s so painful and hard to grieve. I remember hearing, when fighting is the only option, fighting isn’t as hard. I thought of that battling addiction but that’s nothing compared to what your sister endured. You should encourage her to write a book!
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
When he said “he said Henry’s name” as a mother who’s lost a child, you’ll never understand, unless you’ve been there, what it means when someone says their name 🥺
Pain is temporary, but love and hope never die. We all have ways of coping, but losing a child is something no one can ever prepare for. His Henry’s story is helping someone in the world somewhere.
I know what Rob means. For a while after my mum died I felt an anger I never thought I could. Then you start talking and you recall all the times she made you laugh and the anger dissaptes and you remember the joy and love.
And in truth and reality he's a day late and a dollar short but he want that dollar more than that day so he's suffering and paying the price now and it's obvious he doesn't care he made his decision and he's happy with it
I am so sorry.
@@elissamurphy6073 thank you.
It’s been the same for me after losing my dad. It’s just been harder for me to let go of the heartbreak and anger.
It’s been 5 years since I lost my dad, it doesn’t get easier with time like people say, you just learn to live with the hurt, embrace it in a way. The pain and grief can teach you a lot on the other side, my best friend sent me this quote right after I lost my dad, “As much as I want him to, my dad is never coming back, and I thought I couldn’t live without him. Now I know I can, I think that would make my Dad proud, which is all I ever wanted.” It gets better, you’re not alone ❤
He talks about grief is such an articulate and human way. RIP little Henry.
Such a genuinely nice guy Rob is. I shed a tear myself listening to him, thinking of my own kids.
I have three boys myself. Not a second taken for granted nor how lucky I am.
Massive respect to this guy and his attitude. Turned something no parent wants to consider into a healing process for him and his family.
Until they start taking drugs, committing crimes
Lost my baby girl last year, one of the hardest challenges me and my wife ever faced together. And it made me feel even worse knowing that this was actually the second child my wife has lost so it was much harder on her than me. I've never cried so much in my life. Rip to my baby Jaleah and ja'mari, mommy and daddy loves and misses you both very much
I'm sorry for your loss brother. You will be with them again. Please believe that. Much love to you.
May God be with the both of you.❤
@@carlosdanger7907 I appreciate that bro, I know I will see them again when it's time. Thank you so much for the kind words and may God bless you and yours
@@MaiaBrown Thank you very much and may God bless you and yours for many years to come
I am so sorry for these painful loss. May we someday be reunited with our beloveds again
Rob is so candid and honest about his journey through grief after losing Henry. If he had to stop writing to cry or puke, he did and then returned to the task. Tragically, children die of illness or in accidents and it's time it stopped being a kind of taboo. Yes, it seems to go against the natural sequence of things but it happens. We need to talk about it and learn what we can do to be of support.
It'll always stay a sensitive topic and for good reasons. I don't think it is taboo or ever was, just that the approach required is much different to other similar situations. Definitely agree that more support is needed for such parents.
Grief explained very well, in fact the best explanation for grieving that I've ever heard. Thank you Rob Delaney
I am so in awe of people who cope with such loss. I cannot imagine the pain you would feel as a parent on behalf of that poor child.
My son is 6 months old. A first time father, who didnt want to be a father, but as soon as he was born, I was pulled by a gravity unlike anything, towards him. I love nothing in this world near the amount that I love my son. know I couldn't cope if I lost my boy. It's so crazy to even hear someone talk about losing their child and keep it together. Such a strong man! Lovely guy
Spot on!!!
Couldn't have worded it any better
My partner lost her 3yr old son also named Henry in 2010 in a car accident, the emotions Rob described are exactly that. You never get over it but you get through it, and yet you never forget. Sending you much love Rob and your family, May your sweet boy Henry rip.
I clicked to see The Rock cry but as a Rob fan I am glad I did. Beautiful story.
You can actually feel his love for his son, he must be so proud.
He has no reason to hate a 3 year old child
@@helicoptergunship ??

@@helicoptergunship What are you on about you little rat
Typically don’t have a reason to hate your child if any age. Hating your child would be a reflection of parenting.
He is such a sweet man. No parent should have to bury their child.
I lost my daughter Marie in 2021 and I still cry when I think of her which is a lot. It's natural to get upset when people talk about our loved ones we have lost.
sorry for your loss
So sorry to hear this. Thank you for sharing and letting us know that a beautiful person and daughter called Marie was once here ❤
@@thechopperharrispunctualta9885 thank you,she was only 46 and as left behind 4 children.
@@wayasaunooke3424 thank you,she was only 46 and left 4 children.
Lots of love to you and Marie’s children. X
Rob articulates himself so well that he pulls you in close with such brutal honesty….I wept the entire time and wished only to hug him and his wife so tightly 💔
As someone who lost my daughter who was under a year old what he says is 100% true… there are no words. The people that made us food, just came to hang out or just take me for lunch or go for a drive is what made the difference. If anyone else recently lost their child you never get over it… you learn to live with it and feeling those emotions ain’t wrong. Keep moving forward 💪
I've heard him talk about his son a few times and it makes me smile cause how happy he is describing him and makes me die inside when he talks about his death it's horrible no parent should Bury there child. It's even more difficult cause his wife gave birth around the same time as his son died.
What an absolute genuine warm guy…my heart goes out to Henry, who gave and received so much love during his short life.
How he's able to get through this with such positivity and calmness is an absolute credit to him.
Rob Delaney is an amazing man.
This man just has amazing energy, that even in his own grief and with his own loss he still makes people around him smile and feel warm . I can’t imagine his pain but his words will help heal lives
Honestly after watching this Rob's story, I realised am not the only person who had to go through same pain & stressful situation. When my Mom died of cancer next to me, I was enraged to the fact that she died from this disease, I was very sensitive & easily angered at friends & family members who started to question me how she died to the point that I assumed these people may accuse me of something or doubting my love toward my mother. I was worried so much about their opinions & even found it harder to ignore them to the point that I wished I could write about my feelings/ my story to alert these people that they were completely wrong & I should show them how much pains that we should live with this loss & that we are just the children who love our Mom. Thank you Rob for open my heart
This interview is devastating and so intimately honest. God Bless Rob Delany, the Delany family, and anyone else who has dealt with the loss and grief of losing a loved one.
The absolute strength it must take to even talk about this in general, nevermind on tv, shows unreal strength, you can tell the pride he felt for his son overrides the sorrow, and my absolute respect for his art being able to be transformed into writing something that will help others in that situation.
I have a 3 year old Henry. It's unfathomable for this to happen. Respect to Rob for raising awareness and having the strength to talk openly and publicly about this heartbreak 🙏
My son had the same , he’s in remission still so sad about Henry
No parent should have to bury a child. I respect that he said that his son died and not "passed away" or wherever sugar coat that people use. This guy is a real one.
Dwayne Johnson seems like a total legend... was lovely how he didn't start trying to get in on this interview, just showed total respect
What a guy. Incredible.
Was going to say the same. Seems like a really lovely bloke.
I'd rather be an obscure poverty stricken citizen than rich with that on my burden.. he has Hollywood to think for his son and/or more money
@@davidoconnor393 what the hell are you talking about? If Rob wasn't famous his son wouldn't have got sick?
@@davidoconnor393 Stop with your inscrutable nonsense on every thread. Don't judge.
@@SheilaR.08 so he's got something in common with old Joe Biden huh.. deceased children that no one knows about and never stopped their careers one bit.. whatsoever..
I didn't know Rob, but I have so much respect for him... He is a wonderful loving person. Peace for him and his family.
I literally started crying when he lit up saying my Henry. Rob seems like such a sweet and genuine person and that he can now celebrate Henry’s life given how short it was, is truly inspiring. And also I love the love people are sharing toward rob and Henry. I just saw Deadpool and Wolverine the other day, and obviously with superhero movies you have to stay until the end, they added a dedicated to Henry which was so sweet and touching.
The Rock is one of those people who really deserve all of their good fortune. He’s so obviously a genuinely good person.
Wait until he does a movie in an Arab State then try this again
@@browngaymethodistjesuschri1361 what does that even mean?
@@browngaymethodistjesuschri1361do everyone a favour and shut the hell up
I have been lucky to meet the Rock and he is a really nice guy.
He gets too much hate for some reason, I guess people are just jealous.
The love he has for his son its beautiful
As long as he's remembered he's never truly forgotten. Big ones to him for sharing his life story.
I get your sentiment and all but I do have to point out that obviously he's never truly forgotten if he's being remembered.
I lost a close friend to suicide in February, there’s very little that makes me happier than getting an opportunity to talk about her. I love talking about who she was, the things that interested her, the things that were important to her. And in all honesty I’m really happy to see that that’s normal for someone who is grieving a loved one.
Jesus, I have a 5 week old boy and already could not imagine life without him. Rob’s story is inspiring but also frightening. You just can’t prepare for such a tragedy.
Seeing Dwayne on One show is something i never thought would happen
Really?
@@Azoria4 it was a space filler nothing show that has morphed into an early evening Graham Norton. It’s phenomenal and basically unprecedented in TV.
why?

Lost my Daughter in August , I feel every little bit of what Rob says and feels here... my heart breaks for him ... no-one should have to go through this...
Sorry to hear that buddy ❤
I’m so sorry man I lost my grandpa also back in august it’s really crazy to think another stranger went through the same thing on the planet somewhere same as me my condolences ❤️
Awful sh!t Man, terribly sorry
Seeing the pain behind Rob's eye's brought a tear to my eye when talking about his son Henry. 😢
To overcome a loss of someone that close and who you are meant to protect and raise is to continue to overcome. He's such a strong man for this. My Brother lost his first born son, I'm constantly trying to be as respectful of his space as possible.
That kind of pain has no measure. This is so uplifting and fills you up with strength for anyone who has gone through this type of tragic event.
When he talks about his son with such love and smiles when talking about him is the greatest tribute to him a father can do. Rob is a legend and one of the strongest people I’ve ever seen. Nothing but respect to him and his family ❤.
"If I had to stop to go cry or puke I would"... As a father, the amount of absolute visceral emotional pain at just the THOUGHT of losing a child his hard, nevermind actually losing one. 🙏
You can see the pain still in his face😪 RIP
It's not fair when a child gets cancer. 😭💔 Rest in peace
Just a disclaimer that crying emoji is mostly used as a laughing emoji, so maybe use some other crying emojis
Agree. If they were to exist, gods are cruel. So no, life is just cruel
Absolute proof there is no God.
Wow! Listening to Rob talk about Henry and just his whole outlook makes me want to read his book. He’s absolutely right that grief and work can be compatible. I am so sorry for their loss.
Rob isn't just strong he's so giving. What an amazing man and Henry is very proud you are and always will be his daddy.
Just him doing this will make someone going through the worst thing in life slightly better, what a legend
What a genuinely kind hearted guy - nothing is worse than suffering and loss of a child
We need more people like you Rob. It's been 17 years since I buried my wife and two children. I miss my kids everyday
No parent should ever lose a child. At this young age simply breaks your heart. So good to hear that he still has a lot of love in his heart. Stay strong Rob. And every other parent who goes or went through this. I hope i never will.
“ I was angry at first-I wanted everyone to know what our family went through-everyone asks what can they do for you-make a copy of their key and go do things for them, clean their house,cook them a meal,just sit and keep company…”
All mostly accurate for what loosing my daughter (13yo)was like. I was angry, broken. Our family became incomplete and how should we go on without our Izzy! We have chosen to face our grief together as we cry,laugh, and keep Izzy alive in our everyday life even if we don’t talk about it much. We have a common knowledge of awareness of who we are. We are a family of 6, forever till we meet again💜
Spectacular interview. When people come out of ordeals like this with the humility and wisdom that he has, they are an immense resource for the rest of us, if we can listen.
I’m currently going through the same thing as his son. But Henry, at 2 years old, having to go through that is just incredible. What a brave child and brave family.
Sending strength and love to you, stranger.
@@mlombardo9 That’s nice of you. Thank you.
At two, it's not a matter of bravery, he just doesn't know any different. He doesn't have the mental capacity to understand anything yet.
@@konohaarchive150 What are you talking about? Of course they don’t understand the in and outs of cancer, brain tumours, surgery and the treatments they’re receiving, etc. You’d hope that part would be between the doctors and the parents. At 2 years old children can empathise with others and are starting to understand their own, and others emotions. But a 2 year old going through surgery and treatment would without doubt feel the physical pain and could be frightened with regards to the environment around them, like hospitals, people in white coats and masks, etc. if you don’t want to see that as being brave, then…….
@@konohaarchive150 bro just sign off
I watched and listened to this with my 3 year old son laying his head on my chest. The Rock isn’t the only one shedding a tear or 7… my biggest fear is loosing my kids. I don’t wish them the pain of having to bury me, but not for a second do I think I would be strong enough to have to bury one of them either. That’s something a parent should never have to go through. Absolutely heart wrenching.
Never realised how strong Rob was, the strength to focus on the good is so commendable. It's easy to do it with small issues... but the loss of your child and yet he smiles and speaks of love vs the grief, beautiful and such a strong sense of character.
This is too real for me, I have a 1 year old son and I can't even think about something like that without having tears in my eyes, actually I can't even talk about him without getting emotional, having children has changed me for the better I think, I'm so in touch with my emotions since having him
Way to go!! Dwayne and Rob were able to talk and show REAL emotions without it being label as not manly! Love it a lot!!💖💕
as a man , the most difficult thing is talk about emotions and loss , so respect to everyone on the panle , especially Rob of course
@@thechopperharrispunctualta9885 What on earth do you mean?
This is so beautiful! In 94, my daughter passed 2 weeks before her 6th birthday from Leukemia. She endured many things for 4 1/2 years of her brief life. So, so courageous! My greatest hero! This book is a must read!
Geez, who could blame him. I don't have any kids but I can imagine the hurt that comes with losing one must be horrible. Kids are my weakness and hearing him speak so lovingly about his son who passed made me teary eyed.
Such an honest man. I’ve heard him talk about Henry before. Beautiful man.
My son (first child) will be 10 months officially tomorrow and imagining him no longer with me in this world is something I can never believe I’ll ever accept moving forward. Not hearing him laugh or not being able to smell him is something that would cripple me. Rob is so strong both as a parent and a human being. 🙏🏻
Wow, I don't know where someone who lost a person they clearly loved so much finds the emotional strength to talk about it like this.
I completely Feel Your Pain Sir I just lost My 3 year old Son 3 weeks ago My heart is broken for You 😢😢😢😢😢
People can say what they want but Rob and The Rock are awesome. Rob is so happy to speak about his son, and is happy to remember how The Rock sent him a message to perk him up. It only takes a moment to think of others in their time of need. ❤❤❤
What a remarkable man. As a father I could only hope to have half this mans strength and grace if I had to walk in his shoes.
He’s helping so many people with his candor and kindness
Rob has helped me so much in coming to terms with losing my boy, Bob, 2 years ago. He was 35, fit and active with a lovely partner Dani and two gorgeous children. Cancer got him, but I will treasure always their wedding in hospital and then we miraculously got him home to die 2 days later. Rock on Bob wherever you are. We miss you but we carry on. Dad x
Sorry for your loss.
@@ASmith-jn7kf Thank you for your kind reply.
So sorry for your loss Dave. Just lost my mum due to cancer. World just isn’t the same anymore. Wishing your family whatever it takes to stay strong.
Now thats a man a real man all the pain he has had to suffer yet he is still here helping people
I started crying as soon as he said describe henry and had the biggest smile.
I couldn’t even imagine, my son is 5, and this touches all the emotions. Great explanation from a grieving and thriving parent.
I've not read the book and I'm crying...RIP Little Henry
I’ve just lost my mum to cancer and it’s hard… BUT the way I watched Rob talk about he’s situation made me think & feel abit different about my whole situation… Very powerful way with he’s words and very strong along the way for he’s family / work life…. Big respect to Rob 💙
I am absolutely humbled by the way that Rob deals with grief and the loss of his baby boy. I saw him warming up for his stand up tour in September 2019. And he was extremely funny and most likeable. Henry and his other kids are lucky to have a daddy like him.
Props to the interviewer. all the question were phrased with open ends for him and left to allow him to talk. Never really interrupts, keep eye contact with someone who is baring their soul. Also goddamn the Rock is so good on timing.
Lost my son unexpectedly 10 months ago. Everything he says is correct. I went back to work after a week and half....i needed structure back to be able to function again. I took the time i needed away for affairs related to my son, i cried. I breathed. I just couldn't sit around and do nothing.
I'm sorry for your loss
i’m sorry, that’s as hard as it gets
Pray you doing well🙏
