Living with grief: A conversation between men

Liam Neeson and Anderson Cooper have a heart-to-heart about living with grief after the death of a loved one. Not your usual entertainment interview.

My wife passed away 43 days ago at the age of 66. She never leaves my thoughts now. Learning to live without her is the saddest and hardest thing that I have ever done.

[BobTheBob]

I love actors like Neeson. No drama. No wild stories. Just a man with a very particular set of skills.

[mariesia]

"There is no timeline for grief." Absolutely right Anderson.

[aliciacoburg]

This man needs to do audio books. Such a calming voice.

[california]

there is still sadness in his eyes .... that is the thing about death, you do not forget, but you learn to live with it :/

My wife and I were barely married for a year before she was killed, and now she has been gone for longer than the marriage lasted- Still the best days of my life and I miss her every single day

I am a nurse who deals with death on a daily basis. I can look into Liam’s eyes and see how much of him is gone without his wife. 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.” ❤️

So sad. You can tell how much he loves her.

I didn't lose my daughter.   I know where she is.   She died March 5, 2013.   I will grieve and miss her til I die.   There is nothing worse in the world.

I have always wanted to hear how he has grieved for that terrible loss. This was so soft and heart felt. I wish you peace Mr. Neeson.

[yoblondeone]

She saved my life. I had the same injury a month after she passed and my mom knew to take me to the hospital because of her. I may not have gone to the hospital soon enough if this hadn’t alerted her that even though I seemed to be acting normal something could still be wrong.

It can go on for an entire lifetime. My Dad died in 2004. Still feel it practically every day. He was the only one who ever truly loved me. Irreplacable, and absolutely unforgettable.

[macbitz]

You so rarely hear men talking about grief.

[sunnylilme]

I lost my mom in 03. She was 47. I'm nearing her age now. I still miss her so much

[rmilkyswife]

It took three years to pack up my dads clothes. It hurts bad. I still grieve bad he was the best dad ever a treasure.

[Crimsonphilosophy]

You can feel every word he says. That was amazing.

[deplorable]

What a truly wonderful man. I am so sorry for his loss, and Vanessa Redgrave, her mother, how horrible to lose a child.

[nonenone]

When someone you love is no longer in your daily life...life is never the same.

[karencarney]

*They were true soulmates.* I can't even fathom being able to stand, breathe and move forward after something like that.

[Rcavalier]

He was so right that "we are all connected. The sadness in his eyes says how we all feel when we lose a loved one.
