My wife passed away 43 days ago at the age of 66. She never leaves my thoughts now. Learning to live without her is the saddest and hardest thing that I have ever done.
My wife and I were barely married for a year before she was killed, and now she has been gone for longer than the marriage lasted- Still the best days of my life and I miss her every single day
@@lavianahampton4641 ........exactly! Sometimes your asked; "when doe it get better"? The truth is, it never gets better, it just gets different ( if that makes sense)
I am a nurse who deals with death on a daily basis. I can look into Liam’s eyes and see how much of him is gone without his wife. I just want to tell anyone out there who might be going through this that losing part of yourself is normal, and may last the rest of your (and his) life. We are complex and grieve in our own way in our own time. Don’t ever let someone tell you to “get over it.” ❤️
Thank you. I, too deal with death and dying on a regular basis as a hospice nurse. Totally agree with you. Tis true that life will never be the same but it's ok. You will have strength in yourself and others as you move forward in your new normal. There is no timeline for grief. Love and spirit never dies.
I will never get over it. Losing my husband was hands down the most grueling, painful event of my life. 12 years later, I still feel the pain every single day.
Suzanne Kitwin Morss I am so sorry you have lost your husband. I cannot imagine how that feels. Please know there are people out here that are thinking of you.
@@Smorss2011 I replied to you earlier before reading your post about losing your husband 12 yrs ago. So sorry for your loss. Your words of grief are a testament to how deeply you loved him. I hope you feel some comfort in knowing how beautiful it is that your heart loves that deeply. I wish it didnt take pain to know this. How good your love must have meant to him while he was here on earth and in the hereafter he feels it still.

It can go on for an entire lifetime. My Dad died in 2004. Still feel it practically every day. He was the only one who ever truly loved me. Irreplacable, and absolutely unforgettable.
She saved my life. I had the same injury a month after she passed and my mom knew to take me to the hospital because of her. I may not have gone to the hospital soon enough if this hadn’t alerted her that even though I seemed to be acting normal something could still be wrong.
So sorry for your loss. My husband died in a mountain climbing accident and I can see where he fell and crushed his chest from my window. I have to drive toward him every day. I wrote a book about it while I was immersed in my deepest mourning, because I wanted people to know how it feels while it is happening, not looking back. It's called "The Ten Gifts Of Grief." I don't know if it will help, but you might connect with some of it. It's on Amazon. My pen name is Hawthorne Wood.
Judy T Beautifully put. My husband wakes up every morning and there's that one second he "forgets," then it comes slamming back even after 13 year: "Oh, my God, my son is dead."
The closer we are to the loss, the more profound the grief. But as John Donne wrote, "The death of any man diminishes me." Why we feel such undeniable sadness when we lose even entertainers who've had an important impact in our lives. Corny as it may sound, I think George Lucas nailed this connectivity when he described the Force in Star Wars (I also believe it's that essential truth that made the movies such massive, global hits -- though I'm not sure we didn't return to the trough multiple times looking for the magic and power of the original release and finding only shades or hints of it and not the depth we craved). We are connected. Entangled, like quantum particles. Separation hurts. Death diminishes.
@@leannesmith5818 I took care of MY MOM for 15 yrs, I lost My Mom ( my Best Friend ) last month... I never knew how painful grief is... I just sat here for 5 mins. trying to find the words to explain how much I miss Her... its impossible... My Dear Sweet Mother is gone... my heart is broken
I lost the love of my life in August of 2017. We were together for 40 years. It has taken me nearly 5 years to just begin to adjust. I will never feel the same about life, but they are always in my heart. I'm not alone in this. Everyone who has had that one perfect love will understand. I was so very lucky . I will forever be greatful.
Stephanie Wilson I accept that it's a loss that I ll never get over. With each year it gets easier. But I never want to get over it, because it's a testament to how much he loved me.
I love you, Anderson Cooper. You stole my heart way back during hurricane Katrina when I stayed up all night watching you brave the storm live on CNN. It was the first time I ever saw you and I knew you were a kind-hearted man. Thank you for addressing grief. The big white elephant in the room that is often difficult for people to address. I just happened upon this video today and don't know if you will ever see this comment, but I wish I would have found this video back in 2015 when my husband died on Valentine's day. Ironically, today is February 12, 2020. Two days before Valentine's day. It has now been 5 years since Charlie passed on to the spirit world. What I learned about grief is: How easily it can blindside you. My grief brought me to my knees. I now finally feel comfortable with my grief, but always there will be a day when I hear a song on the radio or smell a familiar scent, visit a certain place or see a photo and the tears come flooding forward. I miss him so much. Missing his presence in my life is the most difficult. Peace, love, and light Anderson Cooper.
I'm astonished and inspired by Neeson's strength and willingness to be open about such a deeply personal tragedy when he doesn't have to be. Despite what many may think of Anderson Cooper, he did a great job. He was very professional and respectful towards Neeson.
I lost my soul mate nearly 10 years ago and I still grieve for him. i think in some way I always will. It's so true that grief has no timeline and you can't rush it or force it. I recognized the sadness in his eyes as it matches what I have in my own. When someone you love like that dies, you lose a piece of yourself and from that moment on, you are never the same person.
I am here reading With tears falling down on my face you are 100% right what you're saying I lost my love of my life 3 years ago he was only 51 years old He was diagnosed with stage 4: cancer and then 9 months later I lost him My whole world was shattered everything was so numb mind and body was in shock And today 3 years later I am a different person
@@wolfienickelszaragoza5020 I am so sorry for your loss. Yes it does change us and we won't ever be that person we were before. We just have to learn to adapt and make a new life for ourselves even though it;s not what we had planned. I do hope you find some peace in your journey.
The hardest time after a loss, for me,all boils down to that one word: after. The after is all encompassing and it seems never ending in its constant,painful,hum.
I unexpectedly lost my wife Chris 3 years ago this past December 23rd 2015. I can see the pain in his eyes. I know he hurts, but for anyone to say that they know how he feels is wrong. He misses his wife in different ways than I miss mine. My wife Chris was 41, she lost her life in a trauma unit to a pulmonary embolism / cardiac arrest. I helplessly watched it happen. That stole my good memories. Praise God I have some vacation videos and pictures. In Memory of Christine Antoneo Smith The best wife any man ever had Jan 1974- Dec 2015
I lost my wife in May 2019, Denise is ALWAYS on my mind. She was 40 when she was dianiosed with MG, she battled it for 17.5 years, she was 57.5 years old when God called her home. She made me such a better Human Being, Husband, Father, PopPop, Son, Brother, Uncle, Brother in Law. I will NEVER forget what she gave to me. I struggle a lot with her passing, even today. I think it will be that way for the rest of my life. I have since re married last year, and I'm very blessed that Beverly has the heart for God that she does. She has been so very supportive of my grief, mourning, and saddness that I battle from time to time over Denise's passing. I'm very grateful to God for not only giving me Denise but Beverly as well. I don't know if I would still be here, if not for Beverly's love & prayers over me. Reminding me, that Denise's no longer suffers, no longer in pain, she is made a new, and is in the presents of God. That I will see her again, and that we will ALL be together. I'm also blessed that Beverly has such a good relationship with Denise & I's 2 daughters and granddaughter. Just know that I pray for all of you who has lost & continues to suffer in your lost of your loved one. Like my wife Bev tells me all the time, "We are just walking each other home." I hope my post helps in some small way to help someone who is grieving and needing to read this, know that YOU are not alone in your sorrow. That there are people who are praying for you, don't give up, our loved ones would not want us to give up because we miss them so much; we must honor those that have gone on, by living, by remembering them. God Bless you all, be a peace, know you are not alone.
Liam Neeson seems like a really great and genuine person. Really tragic what happened to his wife. It seems like tragedy always strikes at good people.
My Grandfather died in the early 70's and I still long to sit on his front porch swing listening to his stories. What saddens me is that my kids, grandkids were not around to feel his love. He is a name, a picture, but to me still very much alive in my heart. Time marches on..give your future generations the gift of a journal outlining a special person to you..it will give them a sense of belonging.
M C I am sorry for your loss. On September 22nd it will be 18 years since I lost my grandfather. He helped my mom raise me when my father left and he gave me away when I got married. I have his favorite sweatshirt hanging in my closet and I wear on the anniversary of his death. 18 years later and it still feels like my mom called at 1:12 am to tell me he was gone. My oldest son was a baby when he died and my younger son wasn’t born yet but they know who Pop Joe was.
“Sometimes if there's been a sudden death or violent death, people end up focusing on the way they died as opposed to the way they lived their life.” - Anderson Cooper. That is such a heartbreakingly sad yet definitely true sentence. My deepest apologies to everyone who has lost a beloved friend/loved one. God bless you.
What makes Liam so incredibly sexy, besides his obvious gorgeous looks and his profound talent ... are his grace, charm, dignity, humility, honesty, his obvious presence of a warm heart and a deep soul ... the clear absence of that "superstar" attitude and sense of entitlement, and being devoid of any egotistical arrogance. Liam Neeson is a credit to his profession, and to his gender! We love you Liam!
Having endured multiple tragic losses in life, I always feel calmed when people share their raw pain. Natasha was such a talented, beautiful and loved woman. Liam is such a beautiful man. Much love to him and his wonderful family x.
I once was at the restaurant at Kensington palace and Vanessa was there bonding with a new born infant, part of her tribe I imagine. She was sitting apart from her group holding that baby facing her and penetrating its soul with her eyes. Magical moment for me. I have always been fascinated by her and that glimpse was a huge gift. Respect
It's been 12 years that I lost my Mother. The pain never goes away. People say with time the pain goes away but it's all still there for me. Wishing everyone on here my condolences!!
My wife Peggy was the sweetest human being I have ever met and kindest as well. She will always be in my heart and my mind as long as I live. We were married Nov 1965 and I lost her on March 30th 2016 we were married at 18. I totally agree with Frank below. not a day goes by
Bill Thorn Thank you for sharing that. It's good to hear that you had such a sweetheart as your wife for all those years, and that you so much appreciated that. in this fast paced disposable world, it's truly heartwarming to know that some relationship are of the wonderful, genuine, lasting kind!!
Bill ; just heart breaking for its like the whole world did 360. Losing my spouse to continues to give me the worst suffering of my life. Maury was such a special person, one of a kind. I know how you feel Bill. There's days insist I could disappear so I no longer have to think, at least we got to love and be loved which today is not possible. I love to love.
Bill Thon: it heart braking to how we all continue to grieve and haven’t let go. The professionals say you must move forward - but I don’t agree. We don’t have an off switch .. I grieve and grieve for you Maury for I loved you with all my heart. How you left us ( whst a tragedy ) hurts the most as their was no closure . I’ve lost faith in God and just don’t believe and nothing will change my mind . Why would this God allow us to suffer so much? If there’s afterlife then we at least should communicated with the loss of our loved ones . All it takes is one significant happening. I know if I was God I would do all I could for those left behind. I know I wouldn’t want anyone to suffer . If I was God I wouldn’t want to be worshipped 24/7 ... just doesn’t make sense . So I do not believe in God ! My God is Maury ( my loss) for I loved him , saw him in the flesh and blood . I talk to him every day . As for God to descend on earth ... what are you waiting g for ? There’s no God but just bible pushers making millions of dollars preaching to the vulnerable
I love how real he is. He plants flowers. Lives in a quiet place. I love listening to him. And I think he's sexy. Yes. But I just love his stories. His personality.
I was widowed at 47. Raised two children alone. I am thankful for the emotional support of my parents and sisters, and great friends. Time does heal. Wgat lingers for me is what has become of my children and how I got through it. Some days are better than others. It helps to get on with your life and "love again." That is very healing.
Yes Amelia to love again means we still have hope in our hearts and a huge capacity to love. It is the hope that my loved one, now departed from this earth, often told me was a trait they admired in me while they were living. We honor them by loving and hoping still. It's what they would suggest we do were they still here. Yes ?
watching this interview has always given me comfort because I went through a rough time for five years of self-destruction, my ego got the best of me I lost trust,friends,and my sanity because of it. been dealing with the grief of that for five years. seeing liam's interview truly made me feel better and to have faith that when you lose something, never lose hope to get it back.
GOD BLESS YOU Liam Neesom. I feel your pain. My Son passed away when he was 28 years young. I am 63. He was my only child as well. His spirit is with me every day. I'm not with anyone, because I just feel like I can't...just hard to explain. The struggle is real. Love and Light to you. ❤️🌹
My mom, who was the person I loved the most, who gave me unconditional love and made this world seem beautiful and safe to me passed away 3 months ago; it hasn't got any easier. Life now looks very lonely and scary. Forgive me for the grieve I gave you. I will always love you.
3 months is not a long time-at all. Our parents give us life. Even as adults, when our parents pass, we become a certain kind of certified, official grown up, a certain kind of alone and it is frightening. As time goes on, thoughts, feelings and perspectives will change. As time goes by, I wish you the comfort, peace and all that your dear mom would certainly want for you. PS We all pass on, still, love never dies. The love she gave to you is yours for always.
Two men that I admire so much. They both bring a lot to this world in their own ways. Honestly and good character. Thank you for adding positivity to this world. It’s so greatly needed!
I have listened when Anderson Cooper talked Grief over with Stephen Colbert & here with this star, I can see he is undoubtably a very compassionate person. And when he covers disasters I cannot stand to watch. He’s a sensitive soul.
What I noticed recently after the sudden passing of a great friend was that the friends left behind seem to be forgotten. Not only is the family grieving the loss but so are the friends who have been in their lives or a long time.
There’s a spiritual depth and maturity about Liam that Anderson could not comprehend or explore. Some people are afraid to go there and instead ridicule it when faced with it as it happens towards the end of the conversation.
My mother passed away 3-10-2001. She always in my heart. There is not time on grief. Sometimes I smell something that reminds me of my childhood, sometimes I dream of her and her voice calling me makes me cry. It takes times. How much time is up to YOU!
Liam Neeson is a living legend. Such a humble guy despite the hard times he faced. He's a marvelous actor and his voice is hypnotic. I could listen speak all day long. Even if he was threatening me lol.
My husband died at 28yo, that was 2 years ago! I never knew that grief was an actual physical pain- now I know loss nothing about life or death scares me anymore! I just want to live each day well and remember the wonderful soul that left this earth on 11/09/17! He is a loss I have learned to bear but more than that he’s a person I feel thankful for- that love is the guide for me still and I would not change a day of our lives together! ❤️
Lost my husband from a heart attack the day before Valentines Day several years ago and each year since Valentines Day is so very painful. Liam is right the loss stays with you daily and forever, we just learn to journey through it! ♥️🌹
After I lost my only child to suicide in 2011 I fell into a vast pit of nothing for years. The road to sanity has been long. If I were to ever write a help book for men dealing with grief, one main chapter would be entitled: When The Casseroles Stop. Once all that initial love, support, and empathy ends and the flurry of supporters start to slow down, there is a second grief. A second loss. It was good for me to stumble upon this 5 year old video today.
We don't know each other but I would like to thank you for posting this comment. I have been mentally down these past few months and have been thinking of suicide many times. I am an only child too - I need to be reminded how sad my parents would be if I died this young.
My thoughts and prayers go to Liam Neeson and his family.. I lost my beautiful little girl in 2000 to a tragedy and it was devastating.. i was lost for so many years and by the grace of God I have recovered but will never forget and have learned to cope..🌹😊❤️
We home nursed our dear mother, and when she died at home, at 95, we were convinced that life as we know it is indeed, more than physical. After physical death - we live on in not only photos, but in the faces of our children. In stories, and jokes and memories....in our love for each other. We will meet again. And yes, Liam..we are all..connected. Be blest..
It’s been 6 years for the loss of my husband. Living with this pain is the most difficult thing I have ever done. I’m moving forward but life certainly isn’t the same. It’s emptier. There’s a void. There’s a hole in my heart that will never be filled. I’ve just learned to live with it. You have to.
Anderson is right. I lost my husband five years ago. We all know the losses he’s experienced in his family. No one wants to talk about it. The avoidance often adds to the widowed’s loneliness. Grief is a beast you learn to live with. It never becomes part of your past; it’s part of your everyday, my widowhood is. Great segment.
I loved the comment from Liam Neeson," are you a Catholic Muslim or are you a Protestant Muslim" and this can be understood by where he was born ... Great comment.
Amen brother, it's a pain that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I unexpectedly lost my wife Chris 3 years ago. I get up every day and have to figure out how to do it all over again. At night, I hate nights !!!
My brother died June 29 ,2021. He had a heart attack due to broken heart syndrome. His wife Glenna died last August 16 of cancer.; My brother never got over her death. He grieved his self to death . Rest in peace my sweet brother. Your no longer grieving.your with your love of your life. Glenna ,. Love you both , see you both in Heaven one day.
Thank you for sharing this moving interview. Bringing death and grief out into the open is something we at OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center support 100%. Thank you.
You are witnessing true love- this man looks heartbroken. But his calmness is so lovely almost soothing. No fuss No drama just facts. God bless you and help you in your grief.
I lost my dad in March this year, and Liam is absolutely right about grief. I’m still lost and drowning beneath the waves. I love you dad and I miss you 💕.
I'm so sorry for your dad i hope you feel ok now, i understand this feeling too my dad passed away from covid and now i feel this slow emptiness crawling through everything around me i wish i could change and be better stronger more fun women than I'm and i hope you will too, all my love and prayers to you, stranger I'll probably will never see but can still feel
It has been close to 30 years since my STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL WIFE passed-away from breast cancer, yet I still WEEP EVERY SINGLE DAY!! There is NO closure for the loss of my lady-faire!! When you have had a WONDERFUL LIFE with your very soul-mate,... how can you 'move on'?? YOU CAN'T!! Liam, just do the very best that you can!! Your 'NATASHA WAS SIMPLY STUNNING, as well!!!! We both, were married to such FANTASTIC women, and stood at the VERY TOP of the 'mountain'!! ...any which-way that one would try to look, is simply 'DOWN'!!...and THAT I won't accept, for ALL my remaining days!!
You see it on his face, the bottomless pain. Thank you Liam for letting us sit with you and looking at it together. Nothing more needs saying. Take care.
I love actors like Neeson. No drama. No wild stories. Just a man with a very particular set of skills.

@@Production791 Right on ! Grief is utterly personal, anyone who tells you how to grieve needs to back off.

The sadness in his eyes it’s incredible

How did she die
@@devriestown It was a skiing accident. She was taking skiing lessons and she fell and hit her head. It was an undramatic fall and she was ok right after the fall, but a few hours later her condition worsened and she fell into a coma. She died when they cut off her life support.
And????

It can go on for an entire lifetime. My Dad died in 2004. Still feel it practically every day. He was the only one who ever truly loved me. Irreplacable, and absolutely unforgettable.
Same here
I just have the feeling some1 else has-or will-truly love u too.❤🥹
She saved my life. I had the same injury a month after she passed and my mom knew to take me to the hospital because of her. I may not have gone to the hospital soon enough if this hadn’t alerted her that even though I seemed to be acting normal something could still be wrong.
Wow
Thank you for sharing that, I am grateful your mother knew to do that.
Head injuries are always dangerous, and they should always be checked in a hospital. The consequences can be very serious.
Stop lying
So sad. You can tell how much he loves her.

Hé is strong too.
What a quiet, gentle way he spoke about her. With a reverence.
RIP Natasha. Best of thoughts to Liam and their sons.

I didn't lose my daughter. I know where she is. She died March 5, 2013. I will grieve and miss her til I die. There is nothing worse in the world.
So sorry for your loss. My husband died in a mountain climbing accident and I can see where he fell and crushed his chest from my window. I have to drive toward him every day. I wrote a book about it while I was immersed in my deepest mourning, because I wanted people to know how it feels while it is happening, not looking back. It's called "The Ten Gifts Of Grief."

Oh my god, my heart goes to you. I’m a dad and can’t imagine how I would deal with such a loss. Please accept my condolences.
Judy T Beautifully put. My husband wakes up every morning and there's that one second he "forgets," then it comes slamming back even after 13 year: "Oh, my God, my son is dead."
Nobody knows what it feels like unless that specific type of death has happened to them.
Im sorry for your loss🗻
What a truly wonderful man. I am so sorry for his loss, and Vanessa Redgrave, her mother, how horrible to lose a child.
He was so right that "we are all connected. The sadness in his eyes says how we all feel when we lose a loved one.
The closer we are to the loss, the more profound the grief. But as John Donne wrote, "The death of any man diminishes me." Why we feel such undeniable sadness when we lose even entertainers who've had an important impact in our lives. Corny as it may sound, I think George Lucas nailed this connectivity when he described the Force in Star Wars (I also believe it's that essential truth that made the movies such massive, global hits -- though I'm not sure we didn't return to the trough multiple times looking for the magic and power of the original release and finding only shades or hints of it and not the depth we craved). We are connected. Entangled, like quantum particles. Separation hurts. Death diminishes.
You can feel every word he says. That was amazing.
I lost my mom in 03. She was 47. I'm nearing her age now. I still miss her so much
I lost mine in 1999, and I still miss her, I hope your doing ok and life is good,

You didn't lose your mom, you gained an angel in heaven waiting for you.
I lost the love of my life in August of 2017. We were together for 40 years. It has taken me nearly 5 years to just begin to adjust. I will never feel the same about life, but they are always in my heart. I'm not alone in this. Everyone who has had that one perfect love will understand. I was so very lucky .

A veritable timeline.

When someone you love is no longer in your daily life...life is never the same.
why
you can
you could meet someone else without forget .
It took three years to pack up my dads clothes. It hurts bad. I still grieve bad he was the best dad ever a treasure.
I lost my father in April so I know the feeling. My sympathies over your father, love.
Stephanie Wilson I accept that it's a loss that I ll never get over. With each year it gets easier. But I never want to get over it, because it's a testament to how much he loved me.
Stephanie Wilson 😢
I lost my mother and my dad a year later i love them both i will never find them again in this world .
LAURA RAIN Both my parents are gone too. Mom passed 3 years ago and my dad 20 years ago. It's the type of heartbreak that never mends.
Lost one of my kids 9 years ago next month. Still miss her and think about her. Always will.
I love you, Anderson Cooper. You stole my heart way back during hurricane Katrina when I stayed up all night watching you brave the storm live on CNN. It was the first time I ever saw you and I knew you were a kind-hearted man. Thank you for addressing grief. The big white elephant in the room that is often difficult for people to address. I just happened upon this video today and don't know if you will ever see this comment, but I wish I would have found this video back in 2015 when my husband died on Valentine's day. Ironically, today is February 12, 2020. Two days before Valentine's day. It has now been 5 years since Charlie passed on to the spirit world. What I learned about grief is: How easily it can blindside you. My grief brought me to my knees. I now finally feel comfortable with my grief, but always there will be a day when I hear a song on the radio or smell a familiar scent, visit a certain place or see a photo and the tears come flooding forward. I miss him so much. Missing his presence in my life is the most difficult. Peace, love, and light Anderson Cooper.
I lost my soul mate 20 years ago. Grief never gets easier. Some people just cant be replaced.
Of course
But
Yes
He will meet different woman to make him Happy again.smile too
You so rarely hear men talking about grief.
I'm astonished and inspired by Neeson's strength and willingness to be open about such a deeply personal tragedy when he doesn't have to be. Despite what many may think of Anderson Cooper, he did a great job. He was very professional and respectful towards Neeson.
So true. I feel a connection because my mom died and I'm going through it.
Tristan Smith I'm so sorry for your loss...
Liam just seems like a fantastic, kind, caring gentleman. Very proud to be born not far from where he was born in Ballymena.
I lost my soul mate nearly 10 years ago and I still grieve for him. i think in some way I always will. It's so true that grief has no timeline and you can't rush it or force it. I recognized the sadness in his eyes as it matches what I have in my own. When someone you love like that dies, you lose a piece of yourself and from that moment on, you are never the same person.
I am here reading With tears falling down on my face you are 100% right what you're saying I lost my love of my life 3 years ago he was only 51 years old He was diagnosed with stage 4: cancer and then 9 months later I lost him My whole world was shattered everything was so numb mind and body was in shock And today 3 years later I am a different person
@@wolfienickelszaragoza5020 I am so sorry for your loss. Yes it does change us and we won't ever be that person we were before. We just have to learn to adapt and make a new life for ourselves even though it;s not what we had planned. I do hope you find some peace in your journey.
is sad but Strong

The hardest time after a loss, for me,all boils down to that one word: after. The after is all encompassing and it seems never ending in its constant,painful,hum.
I like this guy he seems like a good man.
I unexpectedly lost my wife Chris 3 years ago this past December 23rd 2015. I can see the pain in his eyes. I know he hurts, but for anyone to say that they know how he feels is wrong. He misses his wife in different ways than I miss mine. My wife Chris was 41, she lost her life in a trauma unit to a pulmonary embolism / cardiac arrest. I helplessly watched it happen. That stole my good memories. Praise God I have some vacation videos and pictures.
In Memory of Christine Antoneo Smith
The best wife any man ever had
Jan 1974- Dec 2015
I lost my wife in May 2019, Denise is ALWAYS on my mind. She was 40 when she was dianiosed with MG, she battled it for 17.5 years, she was 57.5 years old when God called her home. She made me such a better Human Being, Husband, Father, PopPop, Son, Brother, Uncle, Brother in Law. I will NEVER forget what she gave to me. I struggle a lot with her passing, even today. I think it will be that way for the rest of my life. I have since re married last year, and I'm very blessed that Beverly has the heart for God that she does. She has been so very supportive of my grief, mourning, and saddness that I battle from time to time over Denise's passing. I'm very grateful to God for not only giving me Denise but Beverly as well. I don't know if I would still be here, if not for Beverly's love & prayers over me. Reminding me, that Denise's no longer suffers, no longer in pain, she is made a new, and is in the presents of God. That I will see her again, and that we will ALL be together. I'm also blessed that Beverly has such a good relationship with Denise & I's 2 daughters and granddaughter. Just know that I pray for all of you who has lost & continues to suffer in your lost of your loved one. Like my wife Bev tells me all the time, "We are just walking each other home." I hope my post helps in some small way to help someone who is grieving and needing to read this, know that YOU are not alone in your sorrow. That there are people who are praying for you, don't give up, our loved ones would not want us to give up because we miss them so much; we must honor those that have gone on, by living, by remembering them. God Bless you all, be a peace, know you are not alone.
Liam Neeson seems like a really great and genuine person. Really tragic what happened to his wife. It seems like tragedy always strikes at good people.
Hé is thé most strong man .and Will be alive ..
My grandfather passed away 29 days ago . He is the love of my life . I'm heartbroken. I miss him so much .
my grandfather passed away in the end of february 2019 and i have the same feelings you've had two years ago. Are you better now?
My Grandfather died in the early 70's and I still long to sit on his front porch swing listening to his stories. What saddens me is that my kids, grandkids were not around to feel his love. He is a name, a picture, but to me still very much alive in my heart. Time marches on..give your future generations the gift of a journal outlining a special person to you..it will give them a sense of belonging.
M C I am sorry for your loss. On September 22nd it will be 18 years since I lost my grandfather. He helped my mom raise me when my father left and he gave me away when I got married. I have his favorite sweatshirt hanging in my closet and I wear on the anniversary of his death. 18 years later and it still feels like my mom called at 1:12 am to tell me he was gone. My oldest son was a baby when he died and my younger son wasn’t born yet but they know who Pop Joe was.
Great Actor but more importantly Great Guy.
He still loves her so deeply. True love. Here’s one guy who redeems Hollywood. Most of Hollywood are disgusting but he is a rare one.
Hello just wanna say a big thank you for your constant love and support, I really appreciate your kindness ❤️
“Sometimes if there's been a sudden death or violent death, people end up focusing on the way they died as opposed to the way they lived their life.” - Anderson Cooper. That is such a heartbreakingly sad yet definitely true sentence.
My deepest apologies to everyone who has lost a beloved friend/loved one.
God bless you.
What a lucky woman to find a man who really has true love
What makes Liam so incredibly sexy, besides his obvious gorgeous looks and his profound talent ... are his grace, charm, dignity, humility, honesty, his obvious presence of a warm heart and a deep soul ... the clear absence of that "superstar" attitude and sense of entitlement, and being devoid of any egotistical arrogance. Liam Neeson is a credit to his profession, and to his gender! We love you Liam!
Angel Deville Liam is my favorite ❤
So well said. A good quality human being.
Angelina A.. i can feel his pain
eviltreemonster... omg hes channelling his pain.. in movies...
Kiarinadia.... he will be with her again
Having endured multiple tragic losses in life, I always feel calmed when people share their raw pain. Natasha was such a talented, beautiful and loved woman. Liam is such a beautiful man. Much love to him and his wonderful family x.
Hello just wanna say a big thank you for your constant love and support, I really appreciate your kindness ❤️
And?
I once was at the restaurant at Kensington palace and Vanessa was there bonding with a new born infant, part of her tribe I imagine. She was sitting apart from her group holding that baby facing her and penetrating its soul with her eyes. Magical moment for me. I have always been fascinated by her and that glimpse was a huge gift. Respect
It's been 12 years that I lost my Mother. The pain never goes away. People say with time the pain goes away but it's all still there for me. Wishing everyone on here my condolences!!
My wife Peggy was the sweetest human being I have ever met and kindest as well. She will always be in my heart and my mind as long as I live. We were married Nov 1965 and I lost her on March 30th 2016 we were married at 18. I totally agree with Frank below. not a day goes by
Bill Thorn Thank you for sharing that. It's good to hear that you had such a sweetheart as your wife for all those years, and that you so much appreciated that. in this fast paced disposable world, it's truly heartwarming to know that some relationship are of the wonderful, genuine, lasting kind!!
Bill ; just heart breaking for its like the whole world did 360. Losing my spouse to continues to give me the worst suffering of my life. Maury was such a special person, one of a kind. I know how you feel Bill. There's days insist I could disappear so I no longer have to think, at least we got to love and be loved which today is not possible. I love to love.
Bill Thon: it heart braking to how we all continue to grieve and haven’t let go. The professionals say you must move forward - but I don’t agree. We don’t have an off switch .. I grieve and grieve for you Maury for I loved you with all my heart. How you left us ( whst a tragedy ) hurts the most as their was no closure . I’ve lost faith in God and just don’t believe and nothing will change my mind . Why would this God allow us to suffer so much? If there’s afterlife then we at least should communicated with the loss of our loved ones . All it takes is one significant happening. I know if I was God I would do all I could for those left behind. I know I wouldn’t want anyone to suffer . If I was God I wouldn’t want to be worshipped 24/7 ... just doesn’t make sense . So I do not believe in God ! My God is Maury ( my loss) for I loved him , saw him in the flesh and blood . I talk to him every day . As for God to descend on earth ... what are you waiting g for ? There’s no God but just bible pushers making millions of dollars preaching to the vulnerable
I'm sorry
🙏🏻💔🙏🏻
I love how real he is. He plants flowers. Lives in a quiet place. I love listening to him. And I think he's sexy. Yes. But I just love his stories. His personality.
Good interview. I adore him, and was so sorry about Natasha. She was so sweet.
Pollyanna l.p.,
what a nice conversation. two beautiful men.
Hello just wanna say a big thank you for your constant love and support, I really appreciate your kindness ❤️
That is so wonderful that his mother-in-law was there for him and the boys; that's priceless.
Hello just wanna say a big thank you for your constant love and support, I really appreciate your kindness ❤️
Touching to see someone not move on to someone new quickly. To me that shows how much he loved her. To him she is irreplaceable.
I was widowed at 47. Raised two children alone. I am thankful for the emotional support of my parents and sisters, and great friends. Time does heal. Wgat lingers for me is what has become of my children and how I got through it. Some days are better than others. It helps to get on with your life and "love again." That is very healing.
Yes Amelia to love again means we still have hope in our hearts and a huge capacity to love. It is the hope that my loved one, now departed from this earth, often told me was a trait they admired in me while they were living. We honor them by loving and hoping still. It's what they would suggest we do were they still here. Yes ?
Liam’s correct; the Muslim call to prayer is mesmerizing! It’s SO BEAUTIFUL!
Mrs. G. Well, i have to respectfully disagree. To many ppl. it is the exact opposite.
@@fredajordan5704 why?
@@fredajordan5704 too many people? What does that mean
@@tz6706 Go figure.
I could listen to that soft voice all day long. He seems like such a genuine soul. A incredibly talented actor.
watching this interview has always given me comfort because I went through a rough time for five years of self-destruction, my ego got the best of me I lost trust,friends,and my sanity because of it. been dealing with the grief of that for five years. seeing liam's interview truly made me feel better and to have faith that when you lose something, never lose hope to get it back.
A wonderful actor a wonderful man, wish Natasha was still here for him. Don't think he can love like that again.
You are not alone I miss my mom it's been 9 yrs
GOD BLESS YOU Liam Neesom. I feel your pain. My Son passed away when he was 28 years young. I am 63. He was my only child as well. His spirit is with me every day. I'm not with anyone, because I just feel like I can't...just hard to explain. The struggle is real. Love and Light to you. ❤️🌹
He’s a good example of someone living in the life as best he can. Always learning.
My mom, who was the person I loved the most, who gave me unconditional love and made this world seem beautiful and safe to me passed away 3 months ago; it hasn't got any easier. Life now looks very lonely and scary. Forgive me for the grieve I gave you. I will always love you.
3 months is not a long time-at all. Our parents give us life. Even as adults, when our parents pass, we become a certain kind of certified, official grown up, a certain kind of alone and it is frightening. As time goes on, thoughts, feelings and perspectives will change. As time goes by, I wish you the comfort, peace and all that your dear mom would certainly want for you. PS We all pass on, still, love never dies. The love she gave to you is yours for always.
Two men that I admire so much. They both bring a lot to this world in their own ways. Honestly and good character. Thank you for adding positivity to this world. It’s so greatly needed!
It's been 7 years. I still can't breathe.
no, it's been 5...wtf he even said it
.....i'm talking about myself and my own loses?? WTF.
greenorangeviolet oh im sorry but i lost my crystal ball.. you only say ''its been 7 years'', can't guess! peace
Pain never really fades. You just learn to live with it. Make room for it. I'm sorry for your loss.
Sadness is the price to pay for all the wonderful times you had with your soulmate. I wish you peace.
I lost my father at 18. It never goes away, you live with it.
God bless and comfort you, Liam.
I have listened when Anderson Cooper talked Grief over with Stephen Colbert
& here with this star, I can see he is undoubtably a very compassionate person.
And when he covers disasters I cannot stand to watch. He’s a sensitive soul.
Heart wrenching. You can clearly see he carries heavy grief just below the surface
I love Liam neeson. He's a good actor. He's not a wild or crazy actor. He's very calm person.
I admire Liam... such a warm, dignified and graceful soul.
What I noticed recently after the sudden passing of a great friend was that the friends left behind seem to be forgotten. Not only is the family grieving the loss but so are the friends who have been in their lives or a long time.
One more reason to admire Liam.
Hello just wanna say a big thank you for your constant love and support, I really appreciate your kindness ❤️
There’s a spiritual depth and maturity about Liam that Anderson could not comprehend or explore. Some people are afraid to go there and instead ridicule it when faced with it as it happens towards the end of the conversation.
Love him!! I met Liam in Toronto at a film festival, he's a great guy!! I'm deeply sorry for his loss!!
My mother passed away 3-10-2001. She always in my heart. There is not time on grief. Sometimes I smell something that reminds me of my childhood, sometimes I dream of her and her voice calling me makes me cry.
It takes times. How much time is up to YOU!
Liam Neeson is a living legend. Such a humble guy despite the hard times he faced. He's a marvelous actor and his voice is hypnotic. I could listen speak all day long. Even if he was threatening me lol.
My husband died at 28yo, that was 2 years ago! I never knew that grief was an actual physical pain- now I know loss nothing about life or death scares me anymore! I just want to live each day well and remember the wonderful soul that left this earth on 11/09/17! He is a loss I have learned to bear but more than that he’s a person I feel thankful for- that love is the guide for me still and I would not change a day of our lives together! ❤️
1:17 Very true, my father died 4 years ago and I still cry,everyday I think about him.
Lost my husband from a heart attack the day before Valentines Day several years ago and each year since Valentines Day is so very painful. Liam is right the loss stays with you daily and forever, we just learn to journey through it! ♥️🌹
I love Liam Neeson. Honest, even it would hurt his career.
After I lost my only child to suicide in 2011 I fell into a vast pit of nothing for years. The road to sanity has been long. If I were to ever write a help book for men dealing with grief, one main chapter would be entitled: When The Casseroles Stop. Once all that initial love, support, and empathy ends and the flurry of supporters start to slow down, there is a second grief. A second loss. It was good for me to stumble upon this 5 year old video today.
We don't know each other but I would like to thank you for posting this comment. I have been mentally down these past few months and have been thinking of suicide many times. I am an only child too - I need to be reminded how sad my parents would be if I died this young.
My thoughts and prayers go to Liam Neeson and his family.. I lost my beautiful little girl in 2000 to a tragedy and it was devastating.. i was lost for so many years and by the grace of God I have recovered but will never forget and have learned to cope..🌹😊❤️
I like this man, his blunt he’s open, he’s honest, This is a man that you can trust
We home nursed our dear mother, and when she died at home, at 95, we were convinced that life as we know it is indeed, more than physical. After physical death - we live on in not only photos, but in the faces of our children. In stories, and jokes and memories....in our love for each other. We will meet again. And yes, Liam..we are all..connected. Be blest..
I can't believe that Liam Neeson has been widowed for 15 years, almost 20. You cannot believe how very sorry I am for loss, either.
It’s been 6 years for the loss of my husband. Living with this pain is the most difficult thing I have ever done. I’m moving forward but life certainly isn’t the same. It’s emptier. There’s a void. There’s a hole in my heart that will never be filled. I’ve just learned to live with it. You have to.
Hello just wanna say a big thank you for your constant love and support, I really appreciate your kindness ❤️
Anderson is right. I lost my husband five years ago. We all know the losses he’s experienced in his family. No one wants to talk about it. The avoidance often adds to the widowed’s loneliness. Grief is a beast you learn to live with. It never becomes part of your past; it’s part of your everyday, my widowhood is. Great segment.
Anderson Cooper is such a gentleman.
I loved the comment from Liam Neeson," are you a Catholic Muslim or are you a Protestant Muslim" and this can be understood by where he was born ... Great comment.
I know this feeling.
I also have lost my wife,and its a crushing blow to me.
The saddness never leaves you.....
alexander dela cruz
I agree with u that when u r truly in love it is crushing
Amen brother, it's a pain that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I unexpectedly lost my wife Chris 3 years ago. I get up every day and have to figure out how to do it all over again. At night, I hate nights !!!
My brother died June 29 ,2021. He had a heart attack due to broken heart syndrome. His wife Glenna died last August 16 of cancer.; My brother never got over her death. He grieved his self to death . Rest in peace my sweet brother. Your no longer grieving.your with your love of your life. Glenna ,. Love you both , see you both in Heaven one day.
Love you A.C.! Keep talking about Grief. America needs to talk about it.
Anderson Cooper seems like a genuine soul. A great interviewer and journalist.
Liam Neeson seems like a peaceful and good man.
*They were true soulmates.* I can't even fathom being able to stand, breathe and move forward after something like that.
Thank you for sharing this moving interview. Bringing death and grief out into the open is something we at OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center support 100%. Thank you.
Hello just wanna say a big thank you for your constant love and support, I really appreciate your kindness ❤️
This was so unimaginably tragic. And Cooper has had the most insane amount of tragedy in his own life.
Beautiful segment.
Spielberg was a genius choosing him for Oscar Schindler.
Yes still my fave movie of him aside from Taken.
You are witnessing true love- this man looks heartbroken.
But his calmness is so lovely almost soothing. No fuss No drama just facts.
God bless you and help you in your grief.
Liam Neeson is awesome.
Qui-Gon Jinn, Darkman, Ras Al Gul...
+RMG Productions Rob Roy, Taken, Dirty Harry Dead Pool, the list goes on of fine cinema thanks to him.
@@doctorhouse3151
He was awesome as Good Cop and Bad Cop from The Lego Movie.👏
I lost my dad in March this year, and Liam is absolutely right about grief. I’m still lost and drowning beneath the waves. I love you dad and I miss you 💕.
I'm so sorry for your dad i hope you feel ok now, i understand this feeling too my dad passed away from covid and now i feel this slow emptiness crawling through everything around me i wish i could change and be better stronger more fun women than I'm and i hope you will too, all my love and prayers to you, stranger I'll probably will never see but can still feel
Hello just wanna say a big thank you for your constant love and support, I really appreciate your kindness ❤️
Thank you Mr. Neeson and Mr. Cooper for this interview.
It has been close to 30 years since my STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL WIFE passed-away from breast cancer, yet I still WEEP EVERY SINGLE DAY!! There is NO closure for the loss of my lady-faire!! When you have had a WONDERFUL LIFE with your very soul-mate,... how can you 'move on'?? YOU CAN'T!! Liam, just do the very best that you can!! Your 'NATASHA WAS SIMPLY STUNNING, as well!!!! We both, were married to such FANTASTIC women, and stood at the VERY TOP of the 'mountain'!! ...any which-way that one would try to look, is simply 'DOWN'!!...and THAT I won't accept, for ALL my remaining days!!
This was truly healing. To hear him talk about his loss and see some similarities makes me know we are never alone in grief.
You see it on his face, the bottomless pain. Thank you Liam for letting us sit with you and looking at it together. Nothing more needs saying. Take care.
Clearly longing for his wife. I cried the whole time watching this.
