Anderson Cooper Found Gloria Vanderbilt's Love Letters From Frank Sinatra

[@kade629]

I love Anderson Cooper 'The lighthouse keeper on this island'.. what an amazing way to describe this. Your sons are blessed to call you dad.

[@brianag9726]

He describes exactly how I felt when my second parent passed.

[@r.reeley7262]

That is exactly the statement that stuck with me too. I knew exactly where he was going, I just didn't know he would describe it so aptly & eloquently... He and Stephen Colbert both deal so well with this topic.

[@marypoor9574]

"The lighthouse keeper..." I've never been able to put this sense in words, and I'm so grateful to both of these caring humans for addressing this subject.

[@flyingartgirls1]

Cooper's lighthouse analogy moved me. I've never dwelled on the fact that I'm the last of my family name...but at times it hits me, and I am suddenly filled with an unexpected sadness. I know that we had family on both sides of the civil war; and that my father's brother was shot down over France while serving as a bombardier on Dday. My parents didn't have a son, so I am the lighthouse! A burden and an honor.

[@jonathan198627]

You're not only the lighthouse keeper, sometimes you are the lighthouse, guiding us through difficult times. Thank you for everything you do.

[@kmc7062]

Anderson Cooper has to be one of my favorites of Stephen’s guests. He’s so sincere and honest and you can always feel his real emotions coming through. I lost my father at age 18 and my mother in 2020 more than 35 years later. I think his new podcast is something I need in my life.

[@jademcguinness4333]

Me to...this brought up lots for me as well...I'll be adding it to my list❤️

[@ChakatStripedfur]

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to liver cancer in '05. It's never easy, and just when you think it's been long enough to ease the pain something'll come up to remind you of them; though I'm lucky that these days it's mostly something that makes me smile.

[@judyk2987]

It’s awesomely inspiring.❤

[@JBearwa]

I’ve listen to the first episode and it was very moving. I lost my mother in 2000. I agree with you.

Anderson is such a sensitive soul and he has the best giggle. I think he must be a great Dad.

[@RaymondHng]

He inherited the giggle from his mother.

[@Artofwar13225]

agreed. this guys are brilliant!

[@alumpyhorse]

his talk with Stephen is simply epic. both the podcast and from 3 years ago on colbert

[@cmlinehan]

I am the keeper of the memories in my family being the last one left. I really admire both Anderson Cooper and Stephen for bringing forward such powerful conversations ❤

[@Karin_Allen]

And I'm the keeper of memories for my family...but it's sad for me because the few others who remain don't seem to care about our history the way I do. I wonder what will happen to all the photos and heirlooms once I'm gone.

[@cmlinehan]

@@Karin_Allen it is sad to think it would just be thrown away. I digitized as much as I could and posted it on a google page. I have been surprised how many external family and friends have been interested and downloaded it to keep for their own memories. 💗

[@ixchelssong]

There have been a few members of my extended family who have been recording some of our ancestry. And I have been putting things online so that everyone can help supplement what's there. Unfortunately, those with missing information aren't able and/or interested in the effort. 😕

[@MKPiatkowski]

Same here. Can so relate.

[@MKPiatkowski]

@@Karin_Allen Currently wrestling with the same thing.

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

Grateful to Anderson for telling about being the lighthouse keeper. 55 is young for that, and i was even younger. It's hard, being the only one left, especially when so many older folk still have brothers, sisters and even a parent or two.

[@jamesgoines7663]

Stay strong and keep your light shining on all of us. We need you.

[@PuzzledMonkey]

I feel for you. My younger brother passed a month ago due to covid aggravating an underlying condition. My father passed 5 years ago. Now I have to rely on my own uncertain memory to recall the stories to keep them alive.

[@mrsrunningmommy]

@@PuzzledMonkey Hang in there Ted. Your not alone, even if it feels that way sometimes. I lost both of my parent separately in my fourties’ while caring for my young children. Then my beloved sister to cancer just before Covid. My husband is 10 yours older and still has his entire family unit. Of course you don’t want anyone else to feel such loose. It’s just, I suppose I am always looking for understanding. Someone else who knows what your going through. Obviously these lovely Gentleman are the Best company every! Anderson’s new pod cast is perfect for me. I hope you fine it comforting too. 🤗

[@concessajean-marie5571]

The loss was so great for both Stephen & Anderson. They give us insight & humor through it! They are gifts to their audience & I appreciate them!

[@joeblow5505]

Stephen turned his inconceivable grief into his comedic mastery that served to console his mother and family at first and transformed his skills to consoling millions

[@Cklasvegas]

Such a remarkable gift Anderson has given to us with his podcast, All There Is. Stephen's perspective on grief is also invaluable. Much thanks to you both!

[@AAXS-op1vo]

This is an incredible conversation. Thank you to two men I would like to meet before leaving this world.

[@joanjenny926]

I love Anderson he has so much ability to tell a story, no matter the content, and lift one up through the sensitivity and transparency. Peace to the World.

[@encor3964]

I know I am just one of hundreds of comments here, but I am compelled to try to tell you how much this segment meant to me. I lost my mother 11/7/20 and have been going through my mother's things and also all the things my mother kept of her mother's. Oh my, yes, very overwhelming, and trying to decide how to do the best with each item, give away to the right places, or discern its future value to my one daughter and my two nephews or any of the future generations, as I become addicted to watching "Finding Your Roots" and realziing how much it does matter into the future, even if we can't see it. You two men, please keep up the good work, on yourselves, as well as sharing it with other. YOU TWO are OUR lighthouse! I can't begin to tell you how much you have touched me so. God bless you, and thank you!!!

[@MKPiatkowski]

OMG, I've also become addicted to Finding Your Roots! Hadn't made the connection between that and having to decide about my parents' things but makes so much sense.

[@encor3964]

@@MKPiatkowski my mother and grandmother and aunts and family have tons of geneology and 100 year old pictures. Who will inherit and wants these things and how will they be stored and handed down. I think that's the big connection, more than just objects. It's about your heritage and where you come from. My lineage goes back to Betsy Ross.

[@Ktcsr17]

I lost my mom last year and I’m obsessed with finding your roots and who do you think you are?! They make me feel like she’s very close still. I’m sorry for your loss. I know how heartbreaking it is.❤

[@Realbrantleygilbertmusic]

Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support❤

[@lillyfitzgerald4047]

Love this from Anderson Cooper; I resonate with being 'the last one' remaining in the family you grew up with. There is a sense of 'aloneness' that I have experienced even though I have a strong family connections with my own children and their families. One of the saddest moments for me was when my biological father passed - even though I did not know him (he and my mother separated when I was 3; I was in my late 30's when he passed), through a peculiar set of circumstances, I arranged his funeral and attended to things one attends to when someone dies. It was then that I fully understood that I would never know what part of me was like him, like my paternal ancestors. And yet, I never ever had any desire to find him prior to that moment. Strange, isn't it.

[@lizaphelps]

I don't know if you've ever thought of hiring a genealogist. They can't tell you personalities of ancestors, but you can learn so much about who you are by learning their stories.

[@lilliwaa2937]

Oh, oh…thank you for sharing…knowing our background & the backstory is important, once gone, the loss is truly felt. Hope you are well

[@MelissaThompson432]

I lost a sister when I was 9, not 10, and I was struck by Coop saying he was grieving his mother _as a ten year old,_ because he'd never processed losing his dad. I'm going to have to think about that....

[@Dreyno]

Lost an older brother when I was 9. Now in my mid 40s and have never shed a tear about what happened. I can only imagine so many of the stupid decisions I’ve made have come from not being able to process what happened properly. Only really realised it in the last few years.

Wow, AC's comment about being the keeper of the memories has been what I have been grappling with for the last 2 years since my dad passed. Everything about our time as a family unit of 3, my mom my dad and me, are only living on in my memories and what stories I tell my kids. It gave me goosebumps to hear someone articulate what I struggle with daily myself. I am going to try to start reframing my narrative to the idea that he mentioned about having the memories be positive and being the lighthouse keeper. I need to find his podcast!!!

Amazing human being and wonderful man.. seeing choke up brought me tears

[@dee_dee_place]

I totally get what Cooper is saying about being the keeper of the memories. It's only me & my middle sister left, & she has no desire to hand down any of our family's history or stories of events. I have no children. I have every family photo, including those of my great-grandparents. I have given specific instructions to destroy them when I die because no one cares about them or wants them. Without those people, the rest of our family would have never come into existence but because they are deceased, they are of no importance to those who are presently alive. Unbelievable!

[@exilhamburger4802]

My father and mother in law passed both away last year. While his death wasn't a surprise due to advanced cancer, both our family and her brothers family were shocked about the sudden death of my mother in law, as she was healthy, active and planning to sell the family home and move nearer to us. We spend month trying to separate mementos to keep from those that could be discarded and two months ago, i found stacks of photographs were neither my wife, nor my brother in law are sure, who those ancestors are.

[@EchoBravo370]

Your sisters kids might realise they are interested at some point. Maybe make a digital album of them and send them the links in an email. If they ever want them later on, they will be right there waiting.

[@LindaC616]

Seems crass, but having gone through something similar, I can say that certain photos might be if interest to either historical societies or even antique stores. I thought "that pic of mom and Aunt W all dolled up and posing in a jalopy in the 40s would have been worth a few bucks." One of my nephews, who barely knew my dad (who died young of brain cancer) is doing paintings and artwork using pictures of my mom and dad that I'd never seen before

[@emaarredondo-librarian]

Write the stories as a historical memoir. Librarian here, did bibliographic research in history for many years. Those kinds of writings are greatly appreciated by social historians, or anyone interested in knowing how the life of regular people was in a determined place/time period. History is not only about warriors, kings and presidents. ✌

[@gafls3151]

Please don't destroy those photos and family stories. There is without a doubt someone who is collaterally related to you who would love to have them. I suggest doing a simple DNA swab test with either ancestry or myheritage and then sending out messages to your first (then 2nd) cousins who have created trees and telling them you're looking for a keeper of your family stories. Believe me you will find a taker.

[@josoverthehill]

He's got such an amazing way with words. I don't know if I could handle listening to it right now, but I don't doubt that his podcast will be a huge salve to people learning to deal with their grief. Just as he wants to pass on the memories of his family to his children as wonderful points in time without the grief, so, too do I want to remember my own mother with the fondness and without the grief. After 7 years, I still haven't achieved that, but I give all the kudos in the world to Mr. Cooper for trying to do that for/with other people.

How they've allowed it to better the humanity & character of themselves that they then share with the world as a means to help heal & increase joy for others is truly a blessing & an honor to observe.

[@philstuf]

Can a better person than Anderson Cooper exist? This guy is the absolute best... He knows about dealing with death (which has also helped me), he is damned near a saint in his actions when on point dealing with items... Also, this guy, when out in the field, actually tries to save people... He is an example to others ...

[@bv3635]

Sadly, you must hope to live long enough for the next generation to age to their point of wanting to hear and collect those stories and memories, because most young people in my world experience have no desire to hear stories from past lives lived. Record them. Save them. We are blessed to live in a time in history when we can record, even with video, those who are cherished now for future generations. Go visit senior facilities and just listen. It is a very meaningful service you give to the older people of our society. My mum is 95 in Nov. She takes so many stories with her.

thank you ... watching and listening this as the same time I edit a photo story about how I try to reconnect with my dad (gone for more than +15 years) through my own kids.

Oh, Anderson, I can relate to your “Lighthouse Keeper” historian ambitions. It’s a difficult but essential role that many of us (usually the youngest child) find ourselves in. Hopefully my documentation of the family members my sons never (or barely) knew will one day have meaning to them and be carried forward.

I always love listening to Anderson.

This is a black magic member from moloch kult. A human mass murder. And he tryes to kills me much times and ruined my full life. This are masons and the most criminals here on earth.

I pre-grieve and being the last of the immediate and even whole family daunts on me. I had a younger brother who took his own life in March and now everything Anderson says seems so relatable and direct to me. I barely want to let go of any of his stuff still due to me knowing ill be all thats left of this family in due time. So glad to have these people talk about this

Unsolicited advice (so feel free to ignore) from someone who (in my own way) has been/is currently there: Don't give yourself a timeline to grieve and/or go through your brother's things. Last weekend we held a memorial for my late husband, who died a year ago from a heart attack (his second) because he stopped taking his heart meds. Even after I told him his difficulty breathing (after what used to be simple exertions) was terrifying me, he refused to see a doctor. I wasn't there when he died. He died w/strangers, who told me that he said, "I guess I should have taken my meds." So, him dying in his late 50s didn't have to happen. Our children losing their father and me losing my life partner did *not* have to happen in 2021. I mention all of the above because you *may* being going through (somewhat) similar feelings of anger & betrayal alongside your grief at his loss and not being able to say goodbye. I'm only now getting to the point where the anger & betrayal is beginning to dissipate, partly because the stories our friends & family shared about how much he & his friendship meant to them helped remind me of all the reasons he & I first became friends and later fell in love. A long post, but I hope what you'll take from it is: (1) Whatever emotions you are feeling regarding your brother's death are valid. If you aren't already, I encourage you to speak with someone trained in counseling those dealing with a loved one's death. "Valid" does not equal "Nurturing", and talking to a trained person can help you work through them. They can also help you get to the point where going through your brother's things will be cathartic, not devastating. I wish you peace.

I wish the best for you. My condolences on the loss of your brother.

This is a moloch kult member and a human murderer. A pedo and kannibale. He crashed my mother and destroyed my full life. He tryes to kills me much times and let me tortures worst by directed energy weapons and mind control. This is the worst criminal in this world.
