My wife passed away 43 days ago at the age of 66. She never leaves my thoughts now. Learning to live without her is the saddest and hardest thing that I have ever done.
My wife and I were barely married for a year before she was killed, and now she has been gone for longer than the marriage lasted- Still the best days of my life and I miss her every single day
@@lavianahampton4641 ........exactly! Sometimes your asked; "when doe it get better"? The truth is, it never gets better, it just gets different ( if that makes sense)
@@devriestown It was a skiing accident. She was taking skiing lessons and she fell and hit her head. It was an undramatic fall and she was ok right after the fall, but a few hours later her condition worsened and she fell into a coma. She died when they cut off her life support.
I am a nurse who deals with death on a daily basis. I can look into Liam’s eyes and see how much of him is gone without his wife. I just want to tell anyone out there who might be going through this that losing part of yourself is normal, and may last the rest of your (and his) life. We are complex and grieve in our own way in our own time. Don’t ever let someone tell you to “get over it.” ❤️
Thank you. I, too deal with death and dying on a regular basis as a hospice nurse. Totally agree with you. Tis true that life will never be the same but it's ok. You will have strength in yourself and others as you move forward in your new normal. There is no timeline for grief. Love and spirit never dies.
I will never get over it. Losing my husband was hands down the most grueling, painful event of my life. 12 years later, I still feel the pain every single day.
Suzanne Kitwin Morss I am so sorry you have lost your husband. I cannot imagine how that feels. Please know there are people out here that are thinking of you.
@@Smorss2011 I replied to you earlier before reading your post about losing your husband 12 yrs ago. So sorry for your loss. Your words of grief are a testament to how deeply you loved him. I hope you feel some comfort in knowing how beautiful it is that your heart loves that deeply. I wish it didnt take pain to know this. How good your love must have meant to him while he was here on earth and in the hereafter he feels it still.
It can go on for an entire lifetime. My Dad died in 2004. Still feel it practically every day. He was the only one who ever truly loved me. Irreplacable, and absolutely unforgettable.
So sorry for your loss. My husband died in a mountain climbing accident and I can see where he fell and crushed his chest from my window. I have to drive toward him every day. I wrote a book about it while I was immersed in my deepest mourning, because I wanted people to know how it feels while it is happening, not looking back. It's called "The Ten Gifts Of Grief." I don't know if it will help, but you might connect with some of it. It's on Amazon. My pen name is Hawthorne Wood.
Judy T Beautifully put. My husband wakes up every morning and there's that one second he "forgets," then it comes slamming back even after 13 year: "Oh, my God, my son is dead."
She saved my life. I had the same injury a month after she passed and my mom knew to take me to the hospital because of her. I may not have gone to the hospital soon enough if this hadn’t alerted her that even though I seemed to be acting normal something could still be wrong.
@@leannesmith5818 I took care of MY MOM for 15 yrs, I lost My Mom ( my Best Friend ) last month... I never knew how painful grief is... I just sat here for 5 mins. trying to find the words to explain how much I miss Her... its impossible... My Dear Sweet Mother is gone... my heart is broken
The closer we are to the loss, the more profound the grief. But as John Donne wrote, "The death of any man diminishes me." Why we feel such undeniable sadness when we lose even entertainers who've had an important impact in our lives. Corny as it may sound, I think George Lucas nailed this connectivity when he described the Force in Star Wars (I also believe it's that essential truth that made the movies such massive, global hits -- though I'm not sure we didn't return to the trough multiple times looking for the magic and power of the original release and finding only shades or hints of it and not the depth we craved). We are connected. Entangled, like quantum particles. Separation hurts. Death diminishes.
I lost the love of my life in August of 2017. We were together for 40 years. It has taken me nearly 5 years to just begin to adjust. I will never feel the same about life, but they are always in my heart. I'm not alone in this. Everyone who has had that one perfect love will understand. I was so very lucky . I will forever be greatful.
Stephanie Wilson I accept that it's a loss that I ll never get over. With each year it gets easier. But I never want to get over it, because it's a testament to how much he loved me.
Liam Neeson seems like a really great and genuine person. Really tragic what happened to his wife. It seems like tragedy always strikes at good people.
My Grandfather died in the early 70's and I still long to sit on his front porch swing listening to his stories. What saddens me is that my kids, grandkids were not around to feel his love. He is a name, a picture, but to me still very much alive in my heart. Time marches on..give your future generations the gift of a journal outlining a special person to you..it will give them a sense of belonging.
M C I am sorry for your loss. On September 22nd it will be 18 years since I lost my grandfather. He helped my mom raise me when my father left and he gave me away when I got married. I have his favorite sweatshirt hanging in my closet and I wear on the anniversary of his death. 18 years later and it still feels like my mom called at 1:12 am to tell me he was gone. My oldest son was a baby when he died and my younger son wasn’t born yet but they know who Pop Joe was.
I once was at the restaurant at Kensington palace and Vanessa was there bonding with a new born infant, part of her tribe I imagine. She was sitting apart from her group holding that baby facing her and penetrating its soul with her eyes. Magical moment for me. I have always been fascinated by her and that glimpse was a huge gift. Respect
I lost my soul mate nearly 10 years ago and I still grieve for him. i think in some way I always will. It's so true that grief has no timeline and you can't rush it or force it. I recognized the sadness in his eyes as it matches what I have in my own. When someone you love like that dies, you lose a piece of yourself and from that moment on, you are never the same person.
I am here reading With tears falling down on my face you are 100% right what you're saying I lost my love of my life 3 years ago he was only 51 years old He was diagnosed with stage 4: cancer and then 9 months later I lost him My whole world was shattered everything was so numb mind and body was in shock And today 3 years later I am a different person
@@wolfienickelszaragoza5020 I am so sorry for your loss. Yes it does change us and we won't ever be that person we were before. We just have to learn to adapt and make a new life for ourselves even though it;s not what we had planned. I do hope you find some peace in your journey.
I unexpectedly lost my wife Chris 3 years ago this past December 23rd 2015. I can see the pain in his eyes. I know he hurts, but for anyone to say that they know how he feels is wrong. He misses his wife in different ways than I miss mine. My wife Chris was 41, she lost her life in a trauma unit to a pulmonary embolism / cardiac arrest. I helplessly watched it happen. That stole my good memories. Praise God I have some vacation videos and pictures. In Memory of Christine Antoneo Smith The best wife any man ever had Jan 1974- Dec 2015
“Sometimes if there's been a sudden death or violent death, people end up focusing on the way they died as opposed to the way they lived their life.” - Anderson Cooper. That is such a heartbreakingly sad yet definitely true sentence. My deepest apologies to everyone who has lost a beloved friend/loved one. God bless you.
It's been 12 years that I lost my Mother. The pain never goes away. People say with time the pain goes away but it's all still there for me. Wishing everyone on here my condolences!!
I love how real he is. He plants flowers. Lives in a quiet place. I love listening to him. And I think he's sexy. Yes. But I just love his stories. His personality.
My wife Peggy was the sweetest human being I have ever met and kindest as well. She will always be in my heart and my mind as long as I live. We were married Nov 1965 and I lost her on March 30th 2016 we were married at 18. I totally agree with Frank below. not a day goes by
Bill Thorn Thank you for sharing that. It's good to hear that you had such a sweetheart as your wife for all those years, and that you so much appreciated that. in this fast paced disposable world, it's truly heartwarming to know that some relationship are of the wonderful, genuine, lasting kind!!
Bill ; just heart breaking for its like the whole world did 360. Losing my spouse to continues to give me the worst suffering of my life. Maury was such a special person, one of a kind. I know how you feel Bill. There's days insist I could disappear so I no longer have to think, at least we got to love and be loved which today is not possible. I love to love.
Bill Thon: it heart braking to how we all continue to grieve and haven’t let go. The professionals say you must move forward - but I don’t agree. We don’t have an off switch .. I grieve and grieve for you Maury for I loved you with all my heart. How you left us ( whst a tragedy ) hurts the most as their was no closure . I’ve lost faith in God and just don’t believe and nothing will change my mind . Why would this God allow us to suffer so much? If there’s afterlife then we at least should communicated with the loss of our loved ones . All it takes is one significant happening. I know if I was God I would do all I could for those left behind. I know I wouldn’t want anyone to suffer . If I was God I wouldn’t want to be worshipped 24/7 ... just doesn’t make sense . So I do not believe in God ! My God is Maury ( my loss) for I loved him , saw him in the flesh and blood . I talk to him every day . As for God to descend on earth ... what are you waiting g for ? There’s no God but just bible pushers making millions of dollars preaching to the vulnerable
I'm astonished and inspired by Neeson's strength and willingness to be open about such a deeply personal tragedy when he doesn't have to be. Despite what many may think of Anderson Cooper, he did a great job. He was very professional and respectful towards Neeson.
Having endured multiple tragic losses in life, I always feel calmed when people share their raw pain. Natasha was such a talented, beautiful and loved woman. Liam is such a beautiful man. Much love to him and his wonderful family x.
What makes Liam so incredibly sexy, besides his obvious gorgeous looks and his profound talent ... are his grace, charm, dignity, humility, honesty, his obvious presence of a warm heart and a deep soul ... the clear absence of that "superstar" attitude and sense of entitlement, and being devoid of any egotistical arrogance. Liam Neeson is a credit to his profession, and to his gender! We love you Liam!
I lost my wife in May 2019, Denise is ALWAYS on my mind. She was 40 when she was dianiosed with MG, she battled it for 17.5 years, she was 57.5 years old when God called her home. She made me such a better Human Being, Husband, Father, PopPop, Son, Brother, Uncle, Brother in Law. I will NEVER forget what she gave to me. I struggle a lot with her passing, even today. I think it will be that way for the rest of my life. I have since re married last year, and I'm very blessed that Beverly has the heart for God that she does. She has been so very supportive of my grief, mourning, and saddness that I battle from time to time over Denise's passing. I'm very grateful to God for not only giving me Denise but Beverly as well. I don't know if I would still be here, if not for Beverly's love & prayers over me. Reminding me, that Denise's no longer suffers, no longer in pain, she is made a new, and is in the presents of God. That I will see her again, and that we will ALL be together. I'm also blessed that Beverly has such a good relationship with Denise & I's 2 daughters and granddaughter. Just know that I pray for all of you who has lost & continues to suffer in your lost of your loved one. Like my wife Bev tells me all the time, "We are just walking each other home." I hope my post helps in some small way to help someone who is grieving and needing to read this, know that YOU are not alone in your sorrow. That there are people who are praying for you, don't give up, our loved ones would not want us to give up because we miss them so much; we must honor those that have gone on, by living, by remembering them. God Bless you all, be a peace, know you are not alone.
GOD BLESS YOU Liam Neesom. I feel your pain. My Son passed away when he was 28 years young. I am 63. He was my only child as well. His spirit is with me every day. I'm not with anyone, because I just feel like I can't...just hard to explain. The struggle is real. Love and Light to you. ❤️🌹
My mom, who was the person I loved the most, who gave me unconditional love and made this world seem beautiful and safe to me passed away 3 months ago; it hasn't got any easier. Life now looks very lonely and scary. Forgive me for the grieve I gave you. I will always love you.
3 months is not a long time-at all. Our parents give us life. Even as adults, when our parents pass, we become a certain kind of certified, official grown up, a certain kind of alone and it is frightening. As time goes on, thoughts, feelings and perspectives will change. As time goes by, I wish you the comfort, peace and all that your dear mom would certainly want for you. PS We all pass on, still, love never dies. The love she gave to you is yours for always.
I have listened when Anderson Cooper talked Grief over with Stephen Colbert & here with this star, I can see he is undoubtably a very compassionate person. And when he covers disasters I cannot stand to watch. He’s a sensitive soul.
I love you, Anderson Cooper. You stole my heart way back during hurricane Katrina when I stayed up all night watching you brave the storm live on CNN. It was the first time I ever saw you and I knew you were a kind-hearted man. Thank you for addressing grief. The big white elephant in the room that is often difficult for people to address. I just happened upon this video today and don't know if you will ever see this comment, but I wish I would have found this video back in 2015 when my husband died on Valentine's day. Ironically, today is February 12, 2020. Two days before Valentine's day. It has now been 5 years since Charlie passed on to the spirit world. What I learned about grief is: How easily it can blindside you. My grief brought me to my knees. I now finally feel comfortable with my grief, but always there will be a day when I hear a song on the radio or smell a familiar scent, visit a certain place or see a photo and the tears come flooding forward. I miss him so much. Missing his presence in my life is the most difficult. Peace, love, and light Anderson Cooper.
Liam Neeson is a living legend. Such a humble guy despite the hard times he faced. He's a marvelous actor and his voice is hypnotic. I could listen speak all day long. Even if he was threatening me lol.
I lost my wife of 29 years in January 2021, I had her home with me by her side as I had promised her while the cancer took her, it was so brutal, I cannot even sleep in our bedroom, I cannot put my sadness into words, I miss her so dam much!
After I lost my only child to suicide in 2011 I fell into a vast pit of nothing for years. The road to sanity has been long. If I were to ever write a help book for men dealing with grief, one main chapter would be entitled: When The Casseroles Stop. Once all that initial love, support, and empathy ends and the flurry of supporters start to slow down, there is a second grief. A second loss. It was good for me to stumble upon this 5 year old video today.
We don't know each other but I would like to thank you for posting this comment. I have been mentally down these past few months and have been thinking of suicide many times. I am an only child too - I need to be reminded how sad my parents would be if I died this young.
My husband died at 28yo, that was 2 years ago! I never knew that grief was an actual physical pain- now I know loss nothing about life or death scares me anymore! I just want to live each day well and remember the wonderful soul that left this earth on 11/09/17! He is a loss I have learned to bear but more than that he’s a person I feel thankful for- that love is the guide for me still and I would not change a day of our lives together! ❤️
Lost my husband from a heart attack the day before Valentines Day several years ago and each year since Valentines Day is so very painful. Liam is right the loss stays with you daily and forever, we just learn to journey through it! ♥️🌹
My mother passed away 3-10-2001. She always in my heart. There is not time on grief. Sometimes I smell something that reminds me of my childhood, sometimes I dream of her and her voice calling me makes me cry. It takes times. How much time is up to YOU!
I was widowed at 47. Raised two children alone. I am thankful for the emotional support of my parents and sisters, and great friends. Time does heal. Wgat lingers for me is what has become of my children and how I got through it. Some days are better than others. It helps to get on with your life and "love again." That is very healing.
Yes Amelia to love again means we still have hope in our hearts and a huge capacity to love. It is the hope that my loved one, now departed from this earth, often told me was a trait they admired in me while they were living. We honor them by loving and hoping still. It's what they would suggest we do were they still here. Yes ?
Two men that I admire so much. They both bring a lot to this world in their own ways. Honestly and good character. Thank you for adding positivity to this world. It’s so greatly needed!
My brother died June 29 ,2021. He had a heart attack due to broken heart syndrome. His wife Glenna died last August 16 of cancer.; My brother never got over her death. He grieved his self to death . Rest in peace my sweet brother. Your no longer grieving.your with your love of your life. Glenna ,. Love you both , see you both in Heaven one day.
watching this interview has always given me comfort because I went through a rough time for five years of self-destruction, my ego got the best of me I lost trust,friends,and my sanity because of it. been dealing with the grief of that for five years. seeing liam's interview truly made me feel better and to have faith that when you lose something, never lose hope to get it back.
i felt this it was different but stll the same my dad passed away from covid eight months ago and i feel this slow emptiness crawling through everythings grief can be difficult on it's own but at those times it hits even harder, when he talked about religion and how it helps i understood im not a very religious person but I'm a spiritual and i beleive that death is understandable it makes life meaningfull and precious what hurts me is the overwhelming feeling of longing for what we lost but i still have faith in god i love him and this love means something iknow we only hurt for the ones we love and its ok
oh, i share my condolences and prayers for you and your mother im sure you love her and will see her again somehow maybe once upon a dream or maybe afterlife but her soul will live in you for ever... wish you a great fulfilling life as a strong individual women
It’s been 6 years for the loss of my husband. Living with this pain is the most difficult thing I have ever done. I’m moving forward but life certainly isn’t the same. It’s emptier. There’s a void. There’s a hole in my heart that will never be filled. I’ve just learned to live with it. You have to.
When I was young a friend of my brother who was at our home a fair amount was playing a foot ball game and was injured. He said he was fine and kept playing. Was fine that night, went to bed but was gone by the morning. It has stayed with me for 50 years, we just never know when someone will leave us so make the best of the time you have with those you care about.
I lost my sister to suicide last year March 2019. Almost a year ago. :( :( I hurt everyday I can hardly breathe. She was only 37. She was my big sister and only sibling and my best friend all in one. My biggest confidante and protector my whole life. I had her for 33 years. It’s not long enough. Not only losing her but my parents and I also found her in a horrific manner, so I’m dealing with immense grief and a very traumatic loss,anger and even abandonment all in one...I used to get so sad hearing stories of loss “because I could never imagine it happening to me” and wanted to watch happier things but now I feel a little bit connected and not as lonely when I hear others sad stories. I wouldn’t wish this feeling of emptiness and despair on anyone.I can’t believe it’s almost a year ago. The whole year was a blur. I was so numb. Only now am I feeling a little bit back to being myself and facing my future without her.
I'm so sorry for your loss 😔🙏 I want to recommend to you Michael Newtons books Journey of Souls and Destiny of souls. Maybe you will find some answers there.
The hardest time after a loss, for me,all boils down to that one word: after. The after is all encompassing and it seems never ending in its constant,painful,hum.
My thoughts and prayers go to Liam Neeson and his family.. I lost my beautiful little girl in 2000 to a tragedy and it was devastating.. i was lost for so many years and by the grace of God I have recovered but will never forget and have learned to cope..🌹😊❤️
Anderson is right. I lost my husband five years ago. We all know the losses he’s experienced in his family. No one wants to talk about it. The avoidance often adds to the widowed’s loneliness. Grief is a beast you learn to live with. It never becomes part of your past; it’s part of your everyday, my widowhood is. Great segment.
I lost my mom in 2011 (I was in my mid 20s), and kept being strong for my dad, because the way he broke made me understand what Liam or any spouse in love would feel for their wife or husband leaving this earth. We went back home and my dad immediately moved into a hotel for 4 years and wouldn’t come home and/or sleep in the same bed - it was so hard for all of us but the grieving process was different for each. I miss my mom everyday and know she’s around in her own way.
Thank you for sharing this moving interview. Bringing death and grief out into the open is something we at OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center support 100%. Thank you.
You are witnessing true love- this man looks heartbroken. But his calmness is so lovely almost soothing. No fuss No drama just facts. God bless you and help you in your grief.
What I noticed recently after the sudden passing of a great friend was that the friends left behind seem to be forgotten. Not only is the family grieving the loss but so are the friends who have been in their lives or a long time.
