Anderson Cooper Calls People and Listens to Their Grief Experiences

This video of Anderson Cooper’s recent appearance on the Late Night with Stephen Colbert really moved me:

“Listening to others has changed my life. It has saved my life in many ways, and it’s given me a new life. I’m so grateful… I routinely call people who have sent me direct messages, and I speak to them on the phone.” He shares that he was never able to work through his grief and losses until his later years, but now that he’s gone down this pathway, it has transformed his life. “It’s only in the last two years by feeling this grief and this sadness that I’ve been able to feel joy.”
