  Anderson this is the most important work you have ever done. For yourself first. But sharing these conversations is helping anyone watching. Thank you.

  We are not taught/supported/encouraged to grieve in this society.   Deadening yourself to feelings will never make you fully alive. Feeling the depths of the loss will also open you up to feel more joy. Thank you for your honesty Anderson and for introducing me to your powerful guest.

  My husband is dying of brain cancer right now and I've NEVER cried in front of  anyone and barely alone.  I've just realized it feels shameful to let go. I'm crying tonight as a lay by his side. Thank you

  WOW, I did not expect this interview. I lost my 12 year old stepson 8 years ago to cancer and now I am going through a situation that is very difficult. It has triggered my grief again. I can't see a counselor right now so videos and information like this is what I have. The choice you two made to do this video is huge to my life and I can not be alone in this. Thank you so much for putting yourself out there and putting something healing and good into the world!

  Grief is all I have left. Everything else about him is gone. It is the one thing that still connects me to him that I can physically feel.

  Thank you, Anderson. Just over three months ago I lost my husband unexpectedly. The questions you asked about feeling hostage to the pain and sorrow were spot on for me. I've just realized that I too am a master strategizer. Hearing that I need to learn how to walk next to the grief, and not try to conquer it is eye opening. This talk has brought me hope and I'm so grateful to have found it so early in my grief journey. It's very important to me to honor my husband while not losing myself in the process. May we all find some peace.
