On Grief + Grieving

Anderson Cooper + Andrew Garfield Dive Deep

“THE WOUND IS THE ONLY ROUTE TO THE GIFT…
THE GRIEF AND THE LOSS ARE THE ONLY ROUTE
TO THE VITALITY OF BEING ALIVE.”
ANDREW GARFIELD

Losing a parent is a life-changing experience that many of us have faced.

Navigating the complex emotional rollercoaster of any kind of grief—whether familial, platonic, or romantic—demands courage, determination, and introspection.

In a profoundly moving episode of the "All There Is With Anderson Cooper" podcast, Anderson Cooper and Andrew Garfield discuss losing their mothers and explore the choppy waters of grief and finding silver linings in the process.

Cooper and Garfield helped me look at my own grief in a new way.

I highly recommend setting aside time to listen to their compassionate, courageous conversation. It serves as a touching reminder that we—all sons of our mothers and fathers—are not alone in our sorrow.
