Tearful Interview: Michelle Zauner Remembers Her Late Mother | Amanpour and Company

[@Mixedpuppy]

This was one of the best interviews with CNN that I have seen. I’m Half Korean. I never had a book impact me and change my perspective about my mother and family like her book has.

Has your mother passed if I may ask? I don't know how I am supposed to deal when mine does..I can't cope the way Michelle does especially not after losing my grandparents and Dad already

So strange to read this now. I am white, was married to a Korean woman and had 2 daughters. My wife died of Leukemia when they were 10 and 12. I can see the fathers perspective more, the need to move on and reinvent. You NEVER move on from the loss of someone you love more than life itself, you just get used to the feeling, it becomes a warm place to return to. I am not my daughters, I cant know how they dealt or feel about it. I love them. But, it has been hard. Someday I hope they understand me.

@@leif1075 No my Step leather who was a wonderful man passed before my Mom who is still alive. I had a falling out with my mother and sister and did not speak with them for almost 2 years. I reconnected with them after a hard conversation prior to reading this book. After reading this book it made me feel my grievances were so petty in the grand scheme of things. I truly felt what Michelle Zauner was conveying about the loss of identity and cultural bonds through the loss of her mother. A bond few Americans can share and understand with each other. Few Half Koreans I have known and met care about this sense of identity and culture, but those that do understand what this author is expressing. What made this harder was I have been both a nurse working on an Oncology Floor and mostly ER for my career and an Army Nurse in Iraq. I seen a lot of heartache and tragedy in my time but this book really hit me in the feels “Industrial Strength”. The cool thing about this book is it connects with people in multiple ways and is very cathartic and makes those that have their first generation mothers appreciate them more.

As the mother of a half-Korean child and the wife of a British man, this book was difficult for me to read as it brought me to tears from the very first page. Michelle has written an incredibly touching story of her life in loving memory of her mother. I hope to pass this book down to my son, and that one day he will see the similarities and share the common experiences in his own life.

She looks so much like her mother.

The quote she said reminded me of the one, “What is grief if not love persevering?”
