Stephen Colbert's Perspective On Grief Brings Anderson Cooper To Tears
During a poignant interview on CNN's AC360, Stephen Colbert spoke candidly with Anderson Cooper about his experience dealing with grief and moved the anchorman to tears. Colbert lost his two brothers and his father in a tragic plane crash in 1974 when he was just 10-years-old. Cooper asked Colbert how he learned to cope with such a loss.
"It's a gift to exist, and with existence comes suffering," Colbert revealed. "There's no
escaping that. I don't want it to have happened. I want it to not
have happened, but if you are grateful for your life, which I think is a
positive thing to do, not everybody is, and I am not always but it's
the most positive thing to do—then you have to be grateful for all of
it. You can't pick and choose what you're grateful for." Watch below:
