I Don't Know Anybody Who Speaks About Grief More Powerfully Than Stephen Colbert - Anderson Cooper

[@Alex-js5lg]

That conversation about grief between Stephen and Anderson was one of the most powerful conversations I've ever watched.

[@naylas3908]

Indeed.

[@lyndseyburns9131]

SAME!!! You have to listen to the podcast if you liked their conversation! Every episode is powerful! I am def excited about season 3!!

[@MeganStevenson]

Stephen is not fearful of having intimate, meaningful conversations with other men. It's such a wonderful example.

[@AnabelleTheAwesome]

I agree so much. His interviews with John Mulaney are also really deep.

[@sunnygirl87]

Both Stephen and Anderson deserve recognition for how they moved grief towards an embrace and acceptance level. We need this. Most of us experience grief. We need to hear how those who trudged this before continue to LIVE & Love.

Stephen's insight on grief in that 2019 conversation with Anderson, as well as Andrew Garfield's sharing on this show about his grief at his mum's death, were really pivotal in helping me to navigate my own grief journey in this past year. Stephen really has a beautiful way of creating safe spaces for people to open up about such strong emotions, which then also allows them - and us - to embrace the necessary vulnerability.

[@saoirsevicteoiria2759]

Beautifully said.

[@cynthiamason4069]

So well said, Lisa❤ I completely agree. Watching my sweet husband fade away from Early On-Set Alzheimers as I cared for him, meant my grief began long before he passed away. That first conversation between these two stellar men made this point known to me. Love them both.

Seeing Stephen's genuine smile when Anderson complimented him was so wholesome lol

[@dianeblumenthal5951]

I lost my mom over 20 years ago (she was 64), so the pain isn't as fresh. But I can also find the sadness as well as the anger over her loss in seconds. You're never fully at peace over a parental loss, but you carry on cuz there's no other option.

Speaking of pigeons..❤❤❤ I lived in a gross part of Chicago afew years ago. Two pigeons decided my crappy little porch was their home. I loved it!!! They had two broods before my neighbors started to complain. The second brood they abandon. So I took them to a pigeon sancturay to keep them alive. They were beautiful once their feathers came in. The first two babies I held and made sure they knew me. In Chicago you can not hurt the pigeons. They are protected. Well I did move out and walked by my old apartment where they were and the dick landlord had put up spikes on the railing to keep them away. I love birds. All birds..😢

I was living in Chicago when the coldest winter on record hit. Down so far in the negatives that it didn't matter if it were Celsius or Fahrenheit. News told us, "if you just go outside, _don't breathe."_ It was like that: killing cold. After a few days it went back up to a balmy 3°F (-16°C). As I walked to work that morning, I noted: all the pigeons were back. And nobody I asked knew where they'd GONE for the half-week-long storm. I have this mental image of walking into some deep subway tunnel, flicking on the lights, and 2 million pigeons all swiveling their heads in unison, followed by this deafening inquiring chorus of "Brrrbboo?" echoing through the tunnel. (Then backing away slowly and running like hell).

[@Dr_Bombay]

All respect to Stephen Colbert, but i really think Anderson should have Nick Cave on his podcast to talk about grief. Colbert's interview with Nick Cave was one of the most insightful, touching, affecting conversations about such things that i've ever heard.

In the last few years I've lost both parents, 2 brothers and 1 of my 2 sisters, and my best friend. None to covid. The grief has been astronomical and even when I try to talk about it, people brush it off. I now realize how very superficial people are. It does help to talk about it and I urge anyone who has a friend dealing with grief to really try to listen and talk with them about it. I've never felt so alone, especially when my own dear friends blow it off.

[@searchith]

Such banter can't be better than from those who can cant.

[@DuelScreen]

Anderson should interview Cheryl Fuller, author of Peace by Piece. She's amazing. Take the 3 worst childhood stories you've heard. Hers was all three and more. But she found peace and now she promotes healing from trauma. There are techniques of controlling the body that she can teach and they actually work. Seriously, please share with Anderson. He won't regret it.

I've seen 2 baby pigeons. I live in Melbourne Australia and a pigeon nested twice in a pot plant on my balcony. The first eggs didn't hatch, but there were 2 pigeonettes (my name for them) from the second set of eggs. I came home after a night out and saw blood on the light-coloured carpet. I hadn't closed the balcony door completely when I left, and my cat got into the nest ... and then feasted on the baby pigeons up and down the hallway ... it was a bloody crime scene. God, I hate myself.

[@Bamajana]

If it helps people understand why we feel the same among the joy, it's so worth it. It's tiring to hear the "get over i" comments. When people begin to understand you don't get over it, you are constantly aware of it but able to maneuver through it as necessary, it will be wonderful

[@felicity4172]

Grief is a something we will all experience, a common trust.. so, I talk of Stewardship of sorrow/grief, the force we experience in the common experience changes us forever, we will never be the same, how we choose to change is our stewardship.. clearly, this doesn't change the pain of the loss, the healing required, the time required to heal.. and friends often want to help.. and again the metaphor is like a vase that is smashed.. you can't really try to find all the pieces and glue them back together.. this experience is like a fire, so throw the pieces in and it will forge into something new and different... perhaps something more beautiful....

[@daveEmartin]

A close friend of mine who recently lost their son was told by his niece that “grief is love with nowhere to go.” I think that’s really beautiful and accurate.

Baby pigeons (squabs) are pretty weird, ugly little things. But they grow up very quickly into juveniles that just look like pigeons but a little smaller, then regular adult pigeons. For the small window they look different, they're kept in safer, hidden spots

If anyone here is interested in one of the best books about dealing with grief, "Modern Grief," by Conrad Reeder, is a must-have. Connie's book was written in an effort to deal with the grief she felt when her two heroes--John Denver and Roger Nichols--were taken from her, too soon. Highly recommended!

[@temporaladvisor3958]

Come on, guys. You're both intelligent city-dwellers. You should know why you've never seen baby pigeons. Pigeons generally nest on rooftops, bridges, and other not-so-easily accessible areas. Squabs get their feathers at 4-wks, and they stay in the nest for up to 6-weeks. By then they look like smaller adult pigeons, so at a glance, they blend in with the adults.

[@roxannaweaver2155]

Grief is result of trauma from all kinds of events. Right now there are millions of Americans grieving for our country due to the MAGA virus that struck back in 2016 and we don't have a vaccine for yet. As long as this contemptible virus is still circulating and remains viable we will be grieving. The damage done will be with us for decades and those of us that realizes this have that additional grief to deal with as well. All we can do is our best to keep it at bay by tending to our country and supporting the people that are doing all they can to keep this virus at bay until it disappears naturally or we find a vaccine that will give us more protection from it. I just hope that those of us who have not succumbed to it can be strong enough and patient enough to keep doing our best to assist in keeping this destructive virus contained as much as possible. Vote Democrat this time around. It will help push the virus back. 💙 I am a former Republican. 52 years. Democrat as of 11/23.
