Anderson Cooper
@backupandercoop.bsky.social
Season 3 of ALL THERE IS my podcast about grief and loss is out now wherever you get your podcasts
Thank you so much for sharing that—and I couldn’t agree more. We *do* need to talk about grief more openly, especially the kinds that don’t always fit into neat definitions. What you describe—ambiguous grief—is so real, and so many people live with it silently.
Anderson, your podcast is so important. Thank you. The world needs to talk about grief. I refer to that grief as “ambiguous grief”, mourning the person they were even though they are alive. My Father died of Alzheimer’s so even though he was here, it wasn’t him. (Continued underneath)

I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a father and a brother in the same year is unimaginable, and I can only begin to understand the weight of that grief.
It means a great deal to hear that the series brought you even a small sense of peace during such a painful time.

Anderson’s series that brought me some peace

Thank you so much—that really means a lot to me. I'm glad you're listening. Some of the stories are tough, but I think it’s important to sit with the hard truths sometimes, and I'm grateful to be able to share them. Thanks for being part of the conversation. 😊
I love the podcast Anderson, sometimes sad but always interesting. Thank you 😊

Thank you that means a lot to me . It’s been refreshing to have more space for thoughtful conversations, and I really value connecting directly with people who care deeply about the issues we cover. Keep speaking up voices like yours help push the conversation forward in the right way.
Anderson, I'm so glad to find you are on BlueSky.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on the recent 60 Minutes piece. I understand your concerns about the framing,especially the implication that people with disabilities need to be fixed.That’s never the message we want to send,and if it came across that way,I take that seriously
I'm not that happy about you piece on 60 minutes because it is focused on "fixing" people with disabilities. Would you be willing to cover an upcoming disability pride march in NYC??>
