I just want to tell anyone out there who might be going through this that losing part of yourself is normal, and may last the rest of your (and his) life. We are complex and grieve in our own way in our own time. Don’t ever let someone tell you to “get over it.” ❤️

I wrote a book about it while I was immersed in my deepest mourning, because I wanted people to know how it feels while it is happening, not looking back. It's called "The Ten Gifts Of Grief." I don't know if it will help, but you might connect with some of it. It's on Amazon. My pen name is Hawthorne Wood.

      The closer we are to the loss, the more profound the grief. But as John Donne wrote, "The death of any man diminishes me." Why we feel such undeniable sadness when we lose even entertainers who've had an important impact in our lives. Corny as it may sound, I think George Lucas nailed this connectivity when he described the Force in Star Wars (I also believe it's that essential truth that made the movies such massive, global hits -- though I'm not sure we didn't return to the trough multiple times looking for the magic and power of the original release and finding only shades or hints of it and not the depth we craved). We are connected. Entangled, like quantum particles. Separation hurts. Death diminishes.

      Bill ; just heart breaking for its like the whole world did 360. Losing my spouse to continues to give me the worst suffering of my life. Maury was such a special person, one of a kind. I know how you feel Bill. There's days insist I could disappear so I no longer have to think, at least we got to love and be loved which today is not possible. I love to love.

      Bill Thon: it heart braking to how we all continue to grieve and haven’t let go. The professionals say you must move forward - but I don’t agree. We don’t have an off switch .. I grieve and grieve for you Maury for I loved you with all my heart. How you left us ( whst a tragedy ) hurts the most as their was no closure . I’ve lost faith in God and just don’t believe and nothing will change my mind . Why would this God allow us to suffer so much? If there’s afterlife then we at least should communicated with the loss of our loved ones . All it takes is one significant happening. I know if I was God I would do all I could for those left behind. I know I wouldn’t want anyone to suffer . If I was God I wouldn’t want to be worshipped 24/7 ... just doesn’t make sense . So I do not believe in God ! My God is Maury ( my loss) for I loved him , saw him in the flesh and blood . I talk to him every day . As for God to descend on earth ... what are you waiting g for ? There’s no God but just bible pushers making millions of dollars preaching to the vulnerable

    I lost my wife in May 2019, Denise is ALWAYS on my mind. She was 40 when she was dianiosed with MG, she battled it for 17.5 years, she was 57.5 years old when God called her home. She made me such a better Human Being, Husband, Father, PopPop, Son, Brother, Uncle, Brother in Law. I will NEVER forget what she gave to me. I struggle a lot with her passing, even today. I think it will be that way for the rest of my life. I have since re married last year, and I'm very blessed that Beverly has the heart for God that she does. She has been so very supportive of my grief, mourning, and saddness that I battle from time to time over Denise's passing. I'm very grateful to God for not only giving me Denise but Beverly as well. I don't know if I would still be here, if not for Beverly's love & prayers over me. Reminding me, that Denise's no longer suffers, no longer in pain, she is made a new, and is in the presents of God. That I will see her again, and that we will ALL be together. I'm also blessed that Beverly has such a good relationship with Denise & I's 2 daughters and granddaughter. Just know that I pray for all of you who has lost & continues to suffer in your lost of your loved one. Like my wife Bev tells me all the time, "We are just walking each other home." I hope my post helps in some small way to help someone who is grieving and needing to read this, know that YOU are not alone in your sorrow. That there are people who are praying for you, don't give up, our loved ones would not want us to give up because we miss them so much; we must honor those that have gone on, by living, by remembering them. God Bless you all, be a peace, know you are not alone.

    After I lost my only child to suicide in 2011 I fell into a vast pit of nothing for years. The road to sanity has been long. If I were to ever write a help book for men dealing with grief, one main chapter would be entitled: When The Casseroles Stop. Once all that initial love, support, and empathy ends and the flurry of supporters start to slow down, there is a second grief. A second loss. It was good for me to stumble upon this 5 year old video today.

    I love you, Anderson Cooper. You stole my heart way back during hurricane Katrina when I stayed up all night watching you brave the storm live on CNN. It was the first time I ever saw you and I knew you were a kind-hearted man. Thank you for addressing grief. The big white elephant in the room that is often difficult for people to address. I just happened upon this video today and don't know if you will ever see this comment, but I wish I would have found this video back in 2015 when my husband died on Valentine's day. Ironically, today is February 12, 2020. Two days before Valentine's day. It has now been 5 years since Charlie passed on to the spirit world. What I learned about grief is: How easily it can blindside you. My grief brought me to my knees. I now finally feel comfortable with my grief, but always there will be a day when I hear a song on the radio or smell a familiar scent, visit a certain place or see a photo and the tears come flooding forward. I miss him so much. Missing his presence in my life is the most difficult. Peace, love, and light Anderson Cooper.

She was my big sister and only sibling and my best friend all in one. My biggest confidante and protector my whole life. I had her for 33 years. It’s not long enough. Not only losing her but my parents and I also found her in a horrific manner, so I’m dealing with immense grief and a very traumatic loss,anger and even abandonment all in one...I used to get so sad hearing stories of loss “because I could never imagine it happening to me” and wanted to watch happier things but now I feel a little bit connected and not as lonely when I hear others sad stories. I wouldn’t wish this feeling of emptiness and despair on anyone.I can’t believe it’s almost a year ago. The whole year was a blur. I was so numb. Only now am I feeling a little bit back to being myself and facing my future without her.

    It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.

    Anderson Cooper seems like a genuine soul. A great interviewer and journalist.
    Liam Neeson seems like a peaceful and good man.

    You are witnessing true love- this man looks heartbroken.
    But his calmness is so lovely almost soothing. No fuss No drama just facts.
    God bless you and help you in your grief.

    i felt this it was different but stll the same my dad passed away from covid eight months ago and i feel this slow emptiness crawling through everythings
    grief can be difficult on it's own but at those times it hits even harder, when he talked about religion and how it helps i understood im not a very religious person but I'm a spiritual and i beleive that death is understandable it makes life meaningfull and precious what hurts me is the overwhelming feeling of longing for what we lost but i still have faith in god i love him and this love means something iknow we only hurt for the ones we love and its ok

    I lost my mom in 2011 (I was in my mid 20s), and kept being strong for my dad, because the way he broke made me understand what Liam or any spouse in love would feel for their wife or husband leaving this earth. We went back home and my dad immediately moved into a hotel for 4 years and wouldn’t come home and/or sleep in the same bed - it was so hard for all of us but the grieving process was different for each. I miss my mom everyday and know she’s around in her own way.

    There’s a spiritual depth and maturity about Liam that Anderson could not comprehend or explore. Some people are afraid to go there and instead ridicule it when faced with it as it happens towards the end of the conversation.

    When I was young a friend of my brother who was at our home a fair amount was playing a foot ball game and was injured. He said he was fine and kept playing. Was fine that night, went to bed but was gone by the morning. It has stayed with me for 50 years, we just never know when someone will leave us so make the best of the time you have with those you care about.
