Anderson Cooper reveals what Andrew Garfield said about grief that stuck with him

[@Kmplee]

This wasn’t an interview. This was a true conversation between two people who actually actively listened to each other. They made such a personal journey beautiful. The respect and caring from each to the other was extraordinarily moving.

[@robertashaffer3950]

I could not have said it any better. I was listening to this as I was working and had to stop literally every minute to look at Anderson and Andrew speaking and watch their emotion. My heart is so deeply touched. One of the many things Andrew shared with us that was so on point and that I am understanding more and more is the following. (This may not be exact wording however close enough) Andrew: The heart lives by breaking in loss........ I want it to break me open I want to be lost It feels healthier Then to feel like you know where you're heading".......... This is so beautifully expressed and very much how I am experiencing life. To Anderson & Andrew (if by some stroke of "luck" you read this", I am deeply grateful for this video and your discussion. You are both caring, wonderful, lovely human beings. I will be sharing video with my friends. Not everyone has arrived at this level of awareness yet, however for those who may have difficulty relating to the incredible depth of your conversation, I sense there will be an opening to their consciousness. This conversation will definitely be the catalyst in helping people all over the world. Thank you both for your authenticity and your vulnerability ❤️🙏

‘’Tell me about your mom’’… what I’d give to have the opportunity to talk about my mom. Almost a year since her passing and no one has asked about her. My heart hurts carrying her memory and my memories with her alone.

[@AVintageNerd]

I lost my mom six days after I turned 8. This year marks 40 years. I have had no one to talk to either-my father and brother struggle with that-a lot of my relatives are gone. But I speak about her every day-just in small ways and if I don't speak out openly-I speak to myself and in some way to her. Find a way to create dialogue for yourself. Bc sometimes there isn't anyone to speak to. I don't have a lifetime of memories with my mom but I carry her within me-closely every day. You are not alone. Yes, the grief will stay with you your entire lifetime but it changes in time. I wish you many blessings on this journey.

Andrews mother was obviously an extraordinary person because she raised at least one extraordinary son. Not many people can vocalize their feelings in such a way. And Anderson, to my mind, is the best interviewer on television. So many others have preconceived ideas of the answers to their questions and don’t really listen to the answers they get. Anderson really listens and has a way of making us listeners feel privileged to sit in on great conversations. Great interview, great series.

My mom passed two years ago and her not being here left me bereft. I felt like whatever was keeping on this earth was gone, like an uprooted tree.

I felt home here, the comment section is a warm hug. Grief is such a deeply human experience, felt by all at some point in life. I'll share what i have learnt over these last years - I lost my mom to cancer in 2016, and being a teenager I never had grappled with grief before. With her loss, my sense of purpose (who she thought I was, and could be) were lost too. With it, like Andrew, my ambitions drowned. But I believe grief, in its profound weight, often served as a compass, guiding me back to my truest selves when I strayed. So in grief, I got reminded that in those inevitable moments of being lost-moments that will happen, perhaps repeatedly-there was a hidden invitation to rediscover who I am. For isn’t life, after all, the ongoing journey of losing and finding oneself, again and again?

UNBELIEVABLE INTERVIEW. HEART-FELT, VULNERABLE, REAL. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

[@bionicbeege4434]

This resonates so much with me and I'm sure millions of people out there. Fantastic insight into grief but also those incredible relationships between sons and mothers. I will always miss mine but this brings a tear because of the sheer love in their grief.

Soo deep. Thank you. When you visited stephen colbert you also said something so beautiful I had to write it down for future reference: This is all of the unexpressed love,” he continues. “That grief will remain with us until we pass because we never get enough time with each other, no matter whether someone lives until 60 or 15 or 99. I hope this grief stays with me because it’s all of the unexpressed love that I didn’t get to tell her, and I told her every day, she was the best of us. ---Andrew Garfield

What a blessed conversation. I had no idea Andrew lost his mother from pancreatic cancer in late 2019. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I lost my mother from pancreatic cancer in late 2016. I remember his interview with Colber and I wept as he spoke. The grief all too real. The same again with your own interview with Stephen. This interview is so beautiful Anderson. Thank you both for this. I would dream to meet both of you for a cup of coffee in a secluded locale just to continue this conversation for hours. This was healing. Thanks.

This was an amazing conversation that I really needed to hear. Grief is so hard. Thank you both for letting us in to your own grief, it helps so much to know that I’m not alone in this pain.

[@vickenator]

This was completely mesmerizing. What an incredible conversation. Garfield is astoundingly introspective and astute, and so well-spoken that I am just blown away by how he related his experience with grieving.

[@MissGeorgiex1]

This is an absolutely stunning conversation. I knew there was a reason I’ve been so drawn to Andrew Garfield all these years as a former lit student. He, & Anderson, have such a poetic, shrewd, sensitive perception of life and people and nature and it’s incredibly touching. Also of course, it’s unfortunately quite rare to see two men open themselves up so generously and with such emotional wisdom. This deserves multiple watches so I can really absorb some of your points 🥹🙏

I am so touched by these two men having this conversation. Clearly their level of grief equals the level of love they had for their loved ones. As a former hospice volunteer, I saw so many families who weren't able to have this kind of conversation. Completely shut off. So sad.
