Nothing hurts quite like losing mom. She was a regal lady. Look at the wonderful man and professional journalist she gifted the world. Job well done, Gloria.
@Marco Molito : it's perfectly fine to take issue with journalists you feel don't represent the truth (in your eyes), but it's particularly loathsome to do it here, in a place where people are honoring the life of his mother, and at a time such as this. Civility is a choice.
Yet you are here watching him. To each their own, if you don't care for him don't watch him or comment. To speak negative on someone's tribute to a death of a parent is classless. I don't spend my time watching videos or commenting on people that I don't like...I never understand why people give their time to things that they clearly don't enjoy.
Melissa Ann Me too! I come back to watch this every now and then. I love Anderson’s emotions, that Peggy Lee song (which is magical) and some of the things that were said between him and his Mother remind me of my relationship and similar exchanges with my Mum. Sad day today but yet I watched this to put a smile on my face.
zed Mr .....Well.....I believe that Story is in the Quran and the Torah......I am not sure if it’s in any other Religious Bible....All I can say to you......is....We can agree to disagree......God Bless you......
I feel your loneliness.... My dad was killed in a car accident, and 6 months later my mom was diagnosed stage 4 small oat cell carcinoma....in 1990. Both were gone 💕💕💕 I felt alone, just like you. I was like an orphan at 45, all alone. I cried till no more tears... I cried a million tears for you, knowing how you felt. Alone.... Something you can't describe until it happens to you 💟 But I was happy Ms Gloria Vanderbilt was out of pain. I'm SO happy you were with your mom till the end. Those moments of love between mom and son will stay with you forever. You WILL appreciate being with her, AND your laugh together, holding hands 💟 I will ALWAYS think of your mom every time YOU laugh, as I'm sure YOU will think of YOUR mom. Those are GREAT memories 💕💕💕💕 Forever Your mom was one of a kind. Just like YOU Anderson. She loved you SO much. Caring, compassionate, and loving. Especially for YOU. Stay Strong Anderson You're not alone... 🌟You have ALL of US as YOUR FAMILY 💟💟💟 Mr Anderson Cooper YOU are LOVED 💟💟 AND Rest In Peace Ms Gloria Vanderbilt I love you both Sincerely Kathy 💜
No one knows how great of a heartache it is to lose a parent,especially a mother , untill it happens to them . I lost my mom last year and we had been very close ☹️ Gloria Vanderbilt wasn't just a high society name,she was a special lady who triumphed as well as suffered through losses
Oh Anderson . You looked after your mum so well, she would be so proud of you and your tribute . She is with your dad and brother now but my heart is breaking for you .
Wake Up Pretty sad troll!! He’s lost his mum, he’s an orphan now. He’s lost both his parents and his brother !!!! I hope to god you haven’t lost anyone especially your mother or father. I lost my dad and it hurts. so back to your stupid Pizzagate and your stupid conspiracy theories with your stupid president. He’s grieving it took massive guts for him to do this he didn’t have to come back to work so soon.
It's a particular kind of lonely when all who were there from the beginning are gone..... but you are not alone Anderson! All who can relate are sending you special love right now!
Anderson Cooper, I understand you so well. I lost my beautiful mom to cancer suddenly. And I too feel the loneliness, and for lack of a better phrase; "Is there all there is." Congratulations on the birth of your son. He will always remind you that your Mom, is still with you forever.
Your mom went through so much yet she always held her head high. Remarkable lady, one of the last true vestiges of old New York. Keep her legacy alive, beautiful tribute Anderson. RIP, xx.
Anderson Cooper, there is something remarkably honest about your reporting and storytelling. An authenticity which cannot be tutored, only given to us as a precious gift by our mother and father.
@@catalinacurio Anderson is a pervayer of fake news and works for the deep state. I have 0 respect for him or his family. I could get really ugly but will give the race baiting bastard a chance to "grieve"......
Mind Freshener You're a disgusting human being. Now isn't the time.. What if someone said to you, I hope one of your kids gets raped and murdered.? That's just not something you say..
Mind Freshener You don't even make sense.. You must be a child.. Now I feel a bit bad because I didn't realize that.. I should have though because adults, adults just don't say things like you did in this post and then went to other posts to just be a sorry piece of shit..
@Mind Freshener lol lol lol, Here you are hiding behind your screen day after day trolling hateful bile on the internet. A sad lonely coward. No one with a kind thoughtful mother would grow up to be like you, unless you are a sociopath, think on that, or is it a case that you troll even your own mother, cause I can't imagine you being nice to anyone, I hope you don't have a dog.........
What a lucky mom to have a loving, kind son like you. You’re a good man who had a good family with a loving mother who also moored you. The pain comes in waves when we lose a dear loved one. I pray the calm waters return in a short time. Give yourself time and love. May your mom be reunited with all of those loved ones who passed before her. You are loved. Be well. 💞💐🙏🏻
Your mum Gloria is resting in peace, Anderson, and the space she left is still filled with her love, for you and for life. I too spent the last night that my lovely 96 year old mum spent here on Earth holding hands, smiling and sharing love and beautiful thoughts. And it was indeed the best night of my life. It has been a priviledge to be able to accompany her this way, a rare gift that I cherish every day, when I think of her. They never really go away, if we feel them in our hearts. Love, Anderson, and all my respect. From Milan, Italy
My heart goes out to Anderson. They had 9 beautiful days together at the end. As sudden as it was, so much better than suffering for months even years. They had already said everything they wanted to say to each other and he was with her 24 hours a day for 9 days. That's so wonderful! She was magnificent and raised a magnificent, sensitive and loving son. They were truly "A match made in heaven"! Stay strong, Anderson, we are all with you. Losing a mother or a father is one of life's greatest sorrows. I lost both of mine and still miss them everyday of my life. I can't wait to see them again and that wonderful reunion that we'll have.
Even with his voice breaking, he is still maintaining his professional air he has had his whole career. Lovely tribute. I know how it feels to be the last one in the family. Lost my father when I was 25 and my mom at 32. I have so many years left. I miss them all so much.
paul joe Stop.. Just stop!! This is why people in America are so hated.. Would you be ok if your mother died and these things where said about her? What's wrong with you??? A person died Jesus what's wrong with you? Disgusting human being!
@Mind Freshener lol lol lol and here are you hiding behind a screen like a whimpering coward, trolling bile day after day, picking on people who are grieving cause your cold inside, gutless and sad. No person with a warm relationship with their mother would have as much hate in their heart as you do. Think on that.............
You made her PROUD! My heart feels for you deeply. You’re a strong spirit to have overcome such tragedies in your life. God bless you my dear friend. God bless your mom’s soul. 🙏🏾❤️
She was such a remarkable woman. So strong after a life of sadness. Losing my mom took a lot out of me too. So grateful u were with your mom at the end like I was. Love never dies. Grief is just an outpouring of love. Hugs and prayers.
Anderson Pooper, death is not the end, she simply made a voyage to another dimension, love is still the connection. Remember I was alone for 25 years in Indonesia, my elder sister died and I couldn't attend her funeral. All your mom needs is a prayer to keep her moving to the light...
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I've lost both my parents. It's been about 6 1/2 years but every morning, I have to remind myself that they're gone. I think that's probably because I am the caregiver of my oldest brother who is severely mentally and physically handicapped. He's 62 and I'm 54 (with cerebral lupus) it was my last promise to my daddy. I love that you now know who gave you, your infectious, wonderful giggle. I've told people that if mama left this world without knowing everything about me then it was simply because I forgot to tell her. Anderson, you'll never see this, but I do pray that you know how much your mother was loved just by being Gloria. And, who knows, you might have a little girl or boy one day to pass on that perfect genetic pool to, but also the eternal quest of "knowing" that you both shared. I hope so. The giggle must live on. Prayers and warmest wishes from someone who knows what you're going through.
Rest in peace to your mom and my condolences to your family. One of the most toughest things is losing your mom. Because your mother will be there for you when nobody else will.
I know exactly how Anderson feels. I also lost my mom this June 3. She was 100 but I miss her terribly. We were close and had conversations often till she fell down the stairs at home In April and broke her arm. She developed pneumonia later at the hospital and never got better. I am also the only one left now in my immediate family. I feel orphaned right now.. Just me and my two sons. I know how Anderson feels.
Glad you got to spend that time with her. Also very rare to feel that you and your mother left nothing unsaid and truly knew each other. Sorry for your loss brotha!
I lost both my parents by the time I was 35. I was the youngest of 7 and my parents were older than my friend's parents. Now at 50 most of my friend's parents are still alive. I tell them all the time how lucky they are to have them still around. I don't think they truly understand what I am saying. When you lose your parents, everything becomes less secure. I remember my mother saying to me when her mother, my grandmother, died that there was no one left to separate her from death. I didn't know what she meant at the time but I did when she died. That safety net of knowing it isn't "your turn" is now gone. Everything in life becomes a lot more lonely, a lot more insecure, and makes you realize how fragile your existence is. Losing your parents is jarring as they were the people who you could turn to in a crisis, or just some unconditional love. They knew you from the beginning, and stood with you when friends and lovers left you. Life is a wonderful thing, but can turn on a dime and suddenly you realize you are standing alone. Anderson certainly never had anything but fragility in his life. His father's sudden death when he was 10. His brother's tragic end when he was in his 20s. He was lucky he had his Mom so long, but in the end, he is indeed now the lone one left. He will feel that void forever. It scares the hell out of you to know they are never coming back. I wish him luck and hope he finds solace in knowing he had her for a long time and left with no regrets.
Anderson your mother must have been so proud of you.A son who is kind,merciful with so much sympathy for the less fortunate people always ready to resucue anyone in a bad situation.My heart goes out for you,she has fallen asleep,but soon you will see her in the paradise earth.A best tribute from a loving. Son Anderson be strong many people.ove you very much
This tribute was very touching. It felt as if Anderson was in my living room with me talking about his mom. She sounds like a truly beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing her with us and for sharing the memories you have. I am glad that you created those memories and left nothing unsaid. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Anderson. I know it's not the same, but you do have people who love you.
What a beautiful tribute. I started to get choked up listening to Anderson. Live life to the fullest possible, love everyone you can, help everyone you see in need of help, smile more but accept that sometimes you may only be able to cry...lift yourself up and those around you. Life goes by far too fast. Please find happiness in as many things as you can, even if they’re only small things. I wish you the best.
Losing a parent is Big Time tough...... and when both are gone you feel like an orphan. I lost mine and now I feel like no one in this world will ever love me like they did
@Jack Booted Hug What kind of evil deviant doesn't respect a man's space to honor and grieve for his mother......... Says a lot about their mothers....
My deepest condolences to Anderson, truly heartbreaking to lose all of your family. Well done to him for holding himself together, I would not have been able to do so.
My God, you’re so strong, Anderson. That quote about a fatherless daughter makes me feel even more connected to your mom. God bless you and her. May you know that you are not alone and may you find peace in knowing she’s right by you. 🙏🏼💜💜💜
Anderson, when it comes to the loss of our mother , there is no pain to equal it. I wish to offer my sincerely condolences. Speaking from personal experience, it is something you will never get over, but time will make the pain easier to deal with.
God rest her FABULOUS soul. What an icon. I love that story about her social media excitement. My mom JUST joined Twitter. 😳 You followed her. She WILL NOT stop talking about it. 💖 I'll keep her favorite song planning for all the divas.
I'm sorry for your loss Anderson...it's clear how much you're hurting with this loss. I don't think being so open and honest about your feelings and experiences are lost on people. I admire the courage.
Love you, Anderson...great tribute! If my daughters ( even just a bit ) feel the same towards me, it will an honor. You and your mom were blessed by God.
What a beautiful tribute to your mother Anderson I lost my mother at the age of 23 30 years ago I just lost my sister a year ago to stage 4 cancer may your mother rest in peace 🙏
Anderson I so admired your Mother she was true class. I lost my mother when I was 17 and now at 64 still miss her everyday. You were blessed to have the great memories with her. Miss Gloria is resting in peace now knowing how loved she was many. May you Anderson find comfort in those memories.
“The bond between a mother and her son is a special one. It remains unchanged by time or distance. It is the purest love; unconditional and true. It is understanding of any situation and forgiving of any mistake”. As the mother of two sons I thank you Anderson for your beautiful tribute to your mom.
I feel you. She is in no more pain, Cooper. Hang in there. She is smiling in your heart now. She's your guardian angel now. Love never dies. She lives on in you. Find your safe grieving place in nature. It helps. So sorry for your loss.
Beautiful tribute Anderson! May God bless you you and your family! May God grant her internal peace! No matter how old you are loosing a mother is one of the hardest thing in this world 😔
You will never be alone, and when you are gone you will be the missing North-Star of so many peoples lives. It is a strange time we live in that people love you even though you will always be as far away from them that you like, North-Star will always be far beyond their reach. All they will have are these moments. Strange times indeed 7
Your mother was ( still ) a great inspiration to me. Gloria Vanderbilt was an extraordinary lady. A true one of kind. Thank you for sharing with us. God Bless
How lucky and wonderful of a mother and son to be paired up and matched up with each other to fully enjoy each other company and open themselves to one another without limits or boundaries . It is rare and the best treasure one can possess in this life. Really .
Class runs in your family Anderson Cooper. You've gotten it HONESTLY. I'm touched to tears and moved about the connection through a "significant song". Lovely, Graceful . . . Gloria GLORIOUSLY Respectfully, Ted Furlo
@Waldo Rojas Tell me how you REALLY feel about! Don't "Candy Coat" it for my sake! AND WOW! YOU HAVE "SCHOOLED" ME! Had I known beforehand that Gloria Vanderbilt invented anorexia so she could profit from her diabolical scheme, I WOULD HAVE LIKELY VILLAINIZED that "TERRIBLE DEAD WOMAN", AND MOCKED A SON'S LOVING TRIBUTE to his mother who just passed. (GLAD that you and your friends have such "Ideals" to discuss(t) and have this way to feel you belong to such a community of wisdom) AND YES, I AM MOCKING YOU! YOUR mother taught you well(?)
Oh my, I am so sorry for your loss. She was truly a fine lady. You are not alone. The 3 of them are together and forever in your heart. They are preparing the way for you. God bless you Anderson.
