You know a journalist is great when he can tell such a personal, beautiful, and painful story like a poem. Thank you for sharing your story it moved me to tears.
Blessings to you Mr Cooper and your sons friends and family. Your heartfelt words of love and loss have brought me to tears. And I thank you so much. It’s a beautiful thing and my privilege to have been able to experience what you have shared
Dear Anderson…you were blessed…your story prompted me to reach out & extend a comforting thought of love , kindness from an empathetic retired nurse. Gosh a profound love you and your nanny shared. 😢😮❤
Losing someone to dementia is so painful. You can see & hold their physical shell but the person is mostly gone away. Sometimes you get fleeting reappearance. One demented patient, a sweet, gentle woman, told me she thought "the wind is blowing through me". I believe Anderson is a really good human 💕💕
Dear Anderson, Thank you for bringing the topic of grief into the light. I lost my last immediate family member, my brother, on November 29, 2023. Listening to your podcast has been a huge comfort.
Dear Anderson, I understand your loss also. My nanny was named Pearl she came to Canada from England. She came into my lonely life as a child through the actions of my doctor. She was warm and still tough creating order. I adored her and wanted to be my best for her. I went to bed one night and in the morning she was gone. No explanation and no compassion for my confusion and pain. A short time later the mother said without emotion.... "you stopped holding my hand". I learned ballet, competitive swimming because of her. She was seeded in my heart forever. Peace to the World.
Oh my gwash! 😢😢 I too nanny and this has touched my soul! One of my work babies family is from Africa. He tells his whole family he's going to become a doctor and take care of me. ❤❤ His family consist of Doctors & Nurses. ❤
Hi Anderson, thanks for sharing the story with us!!! I was crying the whole time when I listened to your story with May. I think you both were very lucky to have each other in your lives. The relationship between you and May just like a mother and son. Wish you all the best in your life!
Anderson Cooper, I adore you. You're such a loving person and you're still as cute as you were growing up. She lived a long life, may she rest in peace ❤
Wow. ❤ That's love. I'm glad she still lives on through you. Your children are blessed to have a father who was so loved and cared for. You have a beautiful heart, Sir. Thank you for sharing. This was the story I didn't know I so desperately needed to hear. ❤
@theTrinity431 of course I know that. That has nothing to do with his children or this story or my comment. Stay focused. You obviously didn't watch the video.
So very touching and painfully beautiful. I miss my grandmother in much the same way. She was the one I knew loved me. The only one I could trust. I talk to her often when I’m missing her so deeply. I look forward to the day I can hug her again. Bless you Anderson. Your series on grief is so important and helpful. I’ve had so many suicides amongst family and friends, and it’s a more complex grief that is so hard to navigate. Thank you for helping so many of us travel through these feelings.❤️👏🏻❤️
I stopped breathing for a moment as I watched. Anderson Cooper has such a gift for connecting with grief. His podcast on grief is a gem. Such a beautiful person he is.
Beautiful tribute. How blessed to be so loved and to have received back. Very touching. Anderson is a man who seems to feel and care more than most. Very special gift to have
Sometimes the love from a non-parent can be more pure. Less anger. More sweetness. Like just taking the good parts of the relationship of parent and child and leaving behind the negative.
Beautiful tribute. Rest in Peace Mae. She showed unconditional and constant love to you Mr. Cooper. Perhaps she taught you how to love and become the father you are and want to be.
Like Anderson, neither did I get to say, “Goodbye” to my nanny who'd been my nanny from 9 months of age until age 11. Every word Anderson spoke resonated with me as I shared those painful feelings.
We’re still hearing about people long past died in Andersons life? I get grief- my dad died a few days before I started high school. So, yes, I have and get grief Anderson in all of its forms.
Thank you for this post Mr Cooper. My Mom died of Dementia almost 2 years ago and it feels like it was just last week. As I cared for her in her illness, I missed my healthy Mom. The one who knew who I was and could share in a conversation with me. Now that she has passed away I not only miss my healthy Mom but I also miss my sick Mom 😢
Mae loved and cared for you better than many true mothers. You are fortunate to have her spirit and memory guiding you as you parent your children. She still watches over you and yours 🥰
Touching. Anderson's grandfather, Reginald, didn't work for even one day in his life, and lost it to gambling and drinking. Anderson, on the other hand, is a capable and creative family man. Full sympathy for Anderson.
I don’t like your political alignment one bit - but you are in my thoughts and prayers tonight and for the rest of the week - thank you kindly for sharing this wonderful story and reminding me that politics is nothing compared to human decency - I wish you fond memories of her to last you a lifetime
Shut up about your grief! When you turned a blind eye to the deaths of 10s of thousands of Gazan’s because of your blind Zionism. You lost all credibility when you covered up and excused Genocide.
No offense to Anderson Cooper, but why is a news channel telling us about a rich kid news anchor's childhood? Please report the news. Dump the 'star anchor' format. Hire excellent journalists and support their journalism. Do investigative reporting, not entertainment news and opinion shows. Engage in partisanship for the truth, not partisanship for the rich and powerful or the political left or right.
what a beautiful memory
You know a journalist is great when he can tell such a personal, beautiful, and painful story like a poem. Thank you for sharing your story it moved me to tears.
You know a Journalist is great when they can deliver the facts without lying and emotional manipulation :)
AHRRRRR
Blessings to you Mr Cooper and your sons friends and family. Your heartfelt words of love and loss have brought me to tears. And I thank you so much. It’s a beautiful thing and my privilege to have been able to experience what you have shared
How wonderful that a piece of May continues to live on this rock called earth as long as you are alive.
Dear Anderson…you were blessed…your story prompted me to reach out & extend a comforting thought of love , kindness from an empathetic retired nurse. Gosh a profound love you and your nanny shared. 😢😮❤
So sorry for your loss. Your emotional eloquence is beautiful
I’m so glad you had Mae’s beautiful example of parenting to guide you in your own parenting journey.
That was so beautiful, brought tears to my eye. 😢
A mother's love has no bounds, and his love for Mae is equally as beautiful.
Absent mother leads to attachment to his nanny
I could barely contain myself as your voice broke speaking of Mae and the motherly love she gave you.
May she continue to rest in peace.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you got to see this story. ❤
When you don't get enough love in your life, and someone shares it with you, that person becomes everything for you ❤
This is beautiful ❤❤❤

God bless 🙏🙏🙏 your mama nanny ❤❤❤❤❤❤

His kids are lucky to have such a remarkable human being as dad.

A beautiful tribute to a woman who embodied love and instilled it in you who continue to love no matter the circumstance ❤
Made me cry. Twice so far. Wonderful tribute by Anderson.
God bless you Anderson. Jesus comforts me.

How blessed you were to have her and she to have you.❤️
I am so sorry. That was beautiful.
That is just beautiful and very moving! Thank you Anderson!
Beautiful words for a beautiful relationship you both had.
Thanks for sharing your story. I have a similar story of my mom. The love they have given us is always with us.❤❤
Grief is the price we pay for love.

So beautiful and sad. 😢

Anderson, on the other hand, is a capable and creative family man.
Full sympathy for Anderson.
That was a beautiful tribute worthy of the love selflessly given to you. ❤
I love you💞

Thanks for sharing Carter.
This is a beautiful tribute. ❤
Thank you for sharing this part of your life with this incredible, loving woman💙
This is the best thing to come out of CNN and cooper in years
I fill your emotions as you tell this story ❤
So sad for your loss and journey through grief. 😢
This is heart breaking, but it's true love.
Thank you so much Anderson -- you're doing SO much good. So much. Thank you.
This is so beautiful❤️😔
Touching.
This was touching ❤
We all have losses in our lives. That’s for sure not just celebrities.
Not a huge Anderson fan but I respect this
beautiful.
❤❤❤ thank you 🙏 for sharing
Just beautiful❤
Couldn't we all have a nanny!
Nothing says Im rich like having a nany. Out of touch Sir Anderson
he must own a lot of CNN
Thank you for talking about dementia and love and aging.
Touching💕
Tell us how privileged you are without telling us how privileged you are. No one wonder legacy media can never speak truth to power.
iM SO SAD TO HEAR HOW YOUR MOTHER CRUELLY PUSHED HER OUT OF YOUR LIFE AND SHE NEVER GOT OVER IT
As my tears flow...I love this story 💜💙Thank you for sharing this beautiful yet sad real life experience 💜
Very beautiful!
Is this a news channel or a private blog?
Sad and strong Andy
I don’t like your political alignment one bit - but you are in my thoughts and prayers tonight and for the rest of the week - thank you kindly for sharing this wonderful
story and reminding me that politics is nothing compared to human decency - I wish you fond memories of her to last you a lifetime
@@AdrianBratu talk about a twist! I love your comment. That was an example of humanity right there. 💗
Shut up about your grief! When you turned a blind eye to the deaths of 10s of thousands of Gazan’s because of your blind Zionism. You lost all credibility when you covered up and excused Genocide.
😢💔😢
Have you ever seen the movie, The Help? I'm reminded of that.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
No wonder cartoon reruns get more viewership than CNN
yall must want me to unsubscribe again

Unvaxxed and Unafraid
Agreed!
When are you guys gonna start covering the NEWS again???? #ImWithJim
Aww. Xx
Your ratings are so low I guess you needed to do this.
Where's that box of Kleenex?
Awww poor Anderson. Grow up. We’ve all suffered loss. We don’t exploit it for ratings. You’re pure evil.
