Guy is so genuine and likeable. He has a lot of insight into grief and loss and so glad he shared it.

[@kendallevans4079]

He doesn't have any more "insight" into grief and loss than any other person. What he has done is make a lot of money with no talent or skills

[@Dooguy]

@@kendallevans4079 really? No talent huh Ok.

[@31Alden]

An insightful, well-done interview. I’ve lost both parents, and recently lost my beloved brother, best friend and soulmate. There is no greater pain than the pain of losing a beloved sibling who emanated from the same Tribe as you. Deepest sympathy Guy, Jules, and the entire Fieri family.

[@Worthlesspieceofsh]

Both of my parents are deceased as are my grandparents I don't have any siblings that claim me or family that claims me so I understand

[@rachelfrees1268]

What a tribute to your sister.❤

[@Val-13]

My husband and I lost our amazing son at age 26💔. He was a US Marine Corp. pilot, killed while training. No, the pain will stay forever. We just learn a new way of living with the pain BUT it absolutely changed us forever💔❤️💔

[@sharonspence6150]

So very very sorry for your loss. ❤️💔❤️‍🩹

[@es4242]

My son was 29. The pain will be with me until I die.

[@SurprisedBuffalo-ug3rf]

❤so sorry ❤

[@shannonlambert8826]

This is another side of Guy I never seen . Some people talk trash about him , but deep down I think he a good person . I love watching him on DDD every Friday and Saturday night . And he talks about his sister all the time . God Bless you Guy and Morgan . 🙏🏻

[@GetOffTheLawn]

This interview really changed my view of Guy which I believe now was incorrect. I think he's a pretty real dude.

[@scot60]

My oldest sister got pancreatic cancer at 70. From the time she had symptoms to her death was 3 weeks. She always watched what she ate, she kept herself slim, never had any kids. She was healthy. It’s crazy. I’m sorry that Guy’s sister did everything right and still the cancer came back.

[@journeylvr]

Pancreatic cancer is so difficult to diagnose. By the time there are symptoms it is so serious!!

[@victorhorace8467]

I have followed Guy ever since he started with food network. I have watched as Hunter and Ryder grew up and Lori’s cameos on Triple D. Guy often referenced his sister, and pointed out his tats honoring her. I am really glad I saw this video. Best regards to the whole Fieri clan.

[@SurprisedBuffalo-ug3rf]

Me too❤❤❤❤

[@ConstantCompanion]

We did that for my father. His last day of life? They moved him into the biggest most beautiful room in the hospital with the panoramic view. I spent hours on the phone calling everybody he knew or were related to. My cousin had food catered in. The kids played under the bed. Lifelong friends Came to Say Goodbye. They said that he would be gone by noon that day. Noon came and went. People were there into the night. My dad, as always, was the last to leave the party. He died at 1:00 a.m. the next morning.

Great brother he was

[@joanstepleton1637]

I took care of my mom while she was in hospice and stayed at my house. I am not one to be afraid of death, perhaps that is why she chose me to be with. But it was a precious and beautiful moment to be there when she passed.

[@annagarza7299]

Our 7 yr old son was diagnosed with cancer osteosarcoma 😩😭😭💔❤️‍🩹😩we also had a 6 yr old daughter so she watched her best friend suffer like guy watched his sister suffer 😩😭 i cannot describe the STRESS 😩😩 watching him get chemo after chemo then leg salvage surgery that did not work then leg amputation 😩😩💔💔 then more operations and doctors do make mistakes it’s bad enough watching all of the sick kids with. Cancer but for a surgeon to make a huge mistake we can not forgive 😭 I will never be the same person 😣 guy you are correct there is nothing worse then to bury your child 😩😭 our sons cancer kept coming back he died in my arms at home 😩😩😩 watching your child say love you 😍 and take his last breath is heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹 that we will never recover from but after his funeral I took a month off of work and we knew we had to get out of bed we had a 9 yr old daughter that needed us and I needed work it kept me SANE

[@bf4744]

That is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.

[@SurprisedBuffalo-ug3rf]

❤so sorry❤

[@WWsThermalBottoms]

I love watching Graham. He’s so polite, easy going and calming ❤

[@pibble3962]

My condolences for you and your family.

[@patriciapatriciagray-thorp9574]

Thank you for sharing❤❤❤

[@sherrimollett1076]

My son’s Irish friend has always said we do funerals wrong here. It should be a happy occasion and a wonderful celebration of someone’s life. When leaving the celebration people should feel uplifted that their loved one was celebrated❤️

[@evedarth1]

My daughter passed away at 19 years old from pneumonia 😢 I know the pain of losing a child... It's still with me today and always will be. There is a big piece of my heart missing.

[@Emilia-tx3zw]

😢 ❤❤❤

[@gregjohnson6329]

I really like Guy. He’s notoriously one of the good ones in his industry despite how folks stereotype him.

[@jnj2195]

I really enjoyed Anthony Bourdains work but I always thought he was quite classless punching down at Guy, taking cheap shots like some elitist snob. Lets face it, Guy isn't a Michelin Star French Restaurant chef but he's real, he knows and loves food. His show has done more for small business and the lives of those who own those businesses. Plus, he certainly seems like a decent man.

[@ektran4205]

bourdain hates food network

[@Worthlesspieceofsh]

And that's why you don't see him much

[@lisathomas6724]

@@WorthlesspieceofshBoudains also been dead for several years.

[@Worthlesspieceofsh]

@@lisathomas6724 I thought so but never like to say anything like that without confirmation

[@susanlovesjava4961]

It's unfortunate the experience Guy described with his sister is now the exception. Wakes in the home were the norm 100 years ago.

[@SurprisedBuffalo-ug3rf]

I recall our neighbors having wakes, when I was a kid

I have much respect for Guy .❤️🤘🖤🤘❤️

This interview changed my opinion about GF. I'm embarrassed that I though he was an overrated goof ball. Thank you Graham.

[@LamarA-bq1zz]

To make that harsh of a judgement over a man you have no personal relationship with says a lot. You labeled the man "a goofball". Lol

[@nathanshackelford7812]

@@LamarA-bq1zzThey made a candid admission that they were wrong about Fieri in the context of a video where Fieri showed a different side. Yet you felt the need to reply and be judgemental and harsh for no reason. You're far worse than the original commenter.

Sorry to hear that bro.

Wow. Guy and. Family sound incredible

Beautiful conversation ❤

All excellent advice from one generation to the next. God bless you Guy. Somewhere in your Italian heritage someone was a Catholic. Good to return to your birth heritage. 🙏🏻
