Thank you for this particular show. As parents who lost a child 23 years ago, we were saddened by this story. It helped us and I’m sure it will help many others.💜
I initially said " Nope" too because I saw the interview with Stephen Colbert, and I knew I would break down and cry. But I listened after all, and, yes, I did cry. Beautiful courageous telling, and wisdom for others suffering such loss. The emotional Rollercoaster must have been bewildering. How brave to share the deepest grief with strangers. God bless.
my late mother was a brilliant psychologist who worked with families experiencing a tragic crisis. she always talked about how important it is to do the things that Rob is mentioning to take care of each other and not only the ailing family member. she said that so many couples collapse when the loved one dies because they blame each other or never took the time to take care of themselves and each other. such a heartbreaking story.
That passage about the dreams really struck a chord with me. After my adopted mom passed from brain cancer I was devastated and I’d have dreams like that all the time for years. I loved those dreams it felt like I was spending time with her. That was 2001 and tears always come up when I talk about her. But some of my biggest laughs and best memories are about her. I love talking about her. It’s painful but sometimes love includes pain. But the love is always worth that kind of pain.
well this was a good one .. u kno 4a change? We lost our son 23 yrs ago the 14th of December coming on fast here. It’s a rough time but it is our reality to be grateful we had him for any length of time. He passed at 32 yrs and it should’ve been me or someone else deserving of losing a life. Hearing this today made me sad and cry but grateful too so ty 4 that. This club we now are a part of is a fk up in my opinion but that’s my prerogative rite? The pain of losing a child of any age truly sux. I like to think we will all meet up in a better place or reality again to be together in the light of love my son brought to us all here 🤍 like Henry did there.
This was heartbreaking and inspiring. I heard Rob talk about his book on Colbert so I was glad to see him on your podcast. It is a shame TH-cam has to insert so many advertisements.
I literally just got this book from OverDrive today. The ebook has a forever waitlist but I was fortunate enough to grab the audiobook. I’m sure I’m going to cry because I was crying during the conversation between Al & Rob. I’d seen Rob on Morning Joe and he was great; this interview blew me away. Al, thank you for doing a truly different podcast…for a change😊. Rob, I hope you know just how important this book is likely to become. It’s your journey it will hopefully help people know there is no right/wrong way to deal with the troubles life give us.❤
How anyone survives the loss of a child I don't know How the whole family goes through hell and rage and grieving that doesn't leave, I don't know. It takes a massive toll, every minute. I sure you and your family, Mr. Delaney, thought you wouldn't recover. But life surprises you every day. Just listening to your awareness level of life now is amazing! A terrible way to get there...but it seems to me you are an enlightened soul. And isn't that our soul's purpose...to become enlightened?
My mom is a labor and delivery nurse and has done a lot of work in the bereavement space - she once told me that advice she got was not to offer or ask someone what they want or need, just to do it. A dad told her that he couldn't process or make a decision if he's asked "do you want something to drink?" and it is much better to make the tea or grab the soda and place it next to the person going through a horrible time of worry and sadness. That came to mind hearing the suggestion of going and making that casserole or the like.
True. Something that helped me when my husband died suddenly - I could hardly speak and asked my sister to make all the calls to tell my friends, family and customers. I don't think I could have done it.
Great show...I wept and laughed. Recently became Granny Tam... it's awesome. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
Many prayers for God's omfort and peace. Henry is being well cared for, surrounded by love, light, and laughter, He is free of all suffering and pain, he is whole snd strong, and flourishing. Please believe that this is the truth. Heaven is real; I have a little sister who departed much too soon. My mother's grief was great, but she knew that one day she would be reunited with her baby girl. She herself passed away nearly two years ago, and her four grown daughters rejoiced that she and her child would catch up on all the time spent apart. Comfort and peace upon you and your wife and two sons.
Crazy how one person is always at fault for these things(bills and laws), even though congress makes up almost 500 people, we really screwed up the idea of this country, what feels like, immediately.
I retired from the Arizona Department of Health Services with a B.S. in Microbiology and courses in Public Health Epidemiology. Retiring at 56, I managed to care take for a Mom with dementia over her life until 91. I am grateful for my desire to keep her at home and her desire to be a Mom for my prescence 24/7. She passed from dementia related issues on September 1st of 2022. Her funeral was September 22, 2022. Now, my low-level pension and Social Security bring my survival to $38,000 annual with a mortgage of $945 per month to keep our home since 1987 after moving from Baltimore suburb to Phoenix Arizona. I find times I am unsure how to make things function. Knowing my output of Public Health driven was greater than private sector. Her birthday is December 7, and she is between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I find times of depression cycles and counseling and meds for bothe paternal depression and maternal anxiety. I am not looking for any accreditation, but I am trying to fill a hole that runs deep. My Mom had to deal with my Dad with sarcoma of the jaw. I wanted to return the wheel to a hero of mine, even with her dementia. Others who handle 9.5 years 24/7 are now very valuable as we know the public health picture of dementia as significant. The lack of mental health is obismal in our culture. But your voice is a true witch doctor for me in your kind and beautiful expression. Thank you. Mark Fickes.
I hope many blessings come your way Mark! My mom cared for her mother for 20 years until her passing, and I regret not being able to care for my mom 💔 better in her later years as she was coping with lung cancer. Hugs to you, do what you can to make yourself happy as you face each day;)
As someone from CT I'm sorry Lieberman voted NO on Medicare for all. He wasn't even supposed to be in the Senate. He stole the seat from now Governor Ned Lamont, by running as a indipendente after loosing the primary. Joey only got elected, a slight lead over Lamont, because of the republican vote. After he voted "no" Medicare for all he had 20% approval rating in CT.
I adore Rob and his shows! So unfortunate for the loss of his son 😢!! Thk you for showcasing him. When are you coming back to the Paramount in Austin? Lord knows you have tons of new material - love you Al;)
I lost my daughter in 2005 and it forever changed me. The pain will always be there but Ive learned to be happy despite. Her laughter in my head & saying you're so beautiful mom everyday, she also told me to never forget that. So sorry for your pain. Big hugs and Luvs to both. Admire.you both
This is one of the finest episodes from you, Mr. Franken. Thank you. At 14:00 ..... why don't more people know about Joe Lieberman's role in vetoing the public option in Obamacare ? I'm guessing it's not as straightforward as you make it sound, but still. If the truth is close, it would be a major blot on the supposedly "independent but Democrat" senator from Connecticut.
I cannot even imagine that father's pain. Good Journey Henry 🕯️🧸
Thank you Mr. Franken and Mr. Delaney for this heart touching interview. Deepest condolences to the Delaney family for the loss of sweet Henry.
So beautiful. So sad. Like you, Al, my heart cries as I smile with the love shown. Thank you. To Rob, God bless you.
Thank you for this particular show. As parents who lost a child 23 years ago, we were saddened by this story. It helped us and I’m sure it will help many others.💜
When I saw the title of this I was like “nope” but I’m listening. Heartbreaking, beautiful, thank you for sharing.

So beautiful. Thank you both, gentlemen, for filling my soul with your humanity.
What a wonderful interview, AL with Mr. Delaney. I could feel the emotions from both of you as I listened...smiles and tears.

The pain of losing a child of any age truly sux.

while the human body may be a miracle there are a million ways for it not to work ...
