Nothing hurts quite like losing mom. She was a regal lady. Look at the wonderful man and professional journalist she gifted the world. Job well done, Gloria.
@Marco Molito : it's perfectly fine to take issue with journalists you feel don't represent the truth (in your eyes), but it's particularly loathsome to do it here, in a place where people are honoring the life of his mother, and at a time such as this. Civility is a choice.
Yet you are here watching him. To each their own, if you don't care for him don't watch him or comment. To speak negative on someone's tribute to a death of a parent is classless. I don't spend my time watching videos or commenting on people that I don't like...I never understand why people give their time to things that they clearly don't enjoy.
Melissa Ann Me too! I come back to watch this every now and then. I love Anderson’s emotions, that Peggy Lee song (which is magical) and some of the things that were said between him and his Mother remind me of my relationship and similar exchanges with my Mum. Sad day today but yet I watched this to put a smile on my face.
zed Mr .....Well.....I believe that Story is in the Quran and the Torah......I am not sure if it’s in any other Religious Bible....All I can say to you......is....We can agree to disagree......God Bless you......
Oh Anderson . You looked after your mum so well, she would be so proud of you and your tribute . She is with your dad and brother now but my heart is breaking for you .
Wake Up Pretty sad troll!! He’s lost his mum, he’s an orphan now. He’s lost both his parents and his brother !!!! I hope to god you haven’t lost anyone especially your mother or father. I lost my dad and it hurts. so back to your stupid Pizzagate and your stupid conspiracy theories with your stupid president. He’s grieving it took massive guts for him to do this he didn’t have to come back to work so soon.
It's a particular kind of lonely when all who were there from the beginning are gone..... but you are not alone Anderson! All who can relate are sending you special love right now!
Anderson Cooper, there is something remarkably honest about your reporting and storytelling. An authenticity which cannot be tutored, only given to us as a precious gift by our mother and father.
@@catalinacurio Anderson is a pervayer of fake news and works for the deep state. I have 0 respect for him or his family. I could get really ugly but will give the race baiting bastard a chance to "grieve"......
Your mom went through so much yet she always held her head high. Remarkable lady, one of the last true vestiges of old New York. Keep her legacy alive, beautiful tribute Anderson. RIP, xx.
My heart goes out to Anderson. They had 9 beautiful days together at the end. As sudden as it was, so much better than suffering for months even years. They had already said everything they wanted to say to each other and he was with her 24 hours a day for 9 days. That's so wonderful! She was magnificent and raised a magnificent, sensitive and loving son. They were truly "A match made in heaven"! Stay strong, Anderson, we are all with you. Losing a mother or a father is one of life's greatest sorrows. I lost both of mine and still miss them everyday of my life. I can't wait to see them again and that wonderful reunion that we'll have.
What a lucky mom to have a loving, kind son like you. You’re a good man who had a good family with a loving mother who also moored you. The pain comes in waves when we lose a dear loved one. I pray the calm waters return in a short time. Give yourself time and love. May your mom be reunited with all of those loved ones who passed before her. You are loved. Be well. 💞💐🙏🏻
paul joe Stop.. Just stop!! This is why people in America are so hated.. Would you be ok if your mother died and these things where said about her? What's wrong with you??? A person died Jesus what's wrong with you? Disgusting human being!
@Mind Freshener lol lol lol and here are you hiding behind a screen like a whimpering coward, trolling bile day after day, picking on people who are grieving cause your cold inside, gutless and sad. No person with a warm relationship with their mother would have as much hate in their heart as you do. Think on that.............
I feel your loneliness.... My dad was killed in a car accident, and 6 months later my mom was diagnosed stage 4 small oat cell carcinoma....in 1990. Both were gone 💕💕💕 I felt alone, just like you. I was like an orphan at 45, all alone. I cried till no more tears... I cried a million tears for you, knowing how you felt. Alone.... Something you can't describe until it happens to you 💟 But I was happy Ms Gloria Vanderbilt was out of pain. I'm SO happy you were with your mom till the end. Those moments of love between mom and son will stay with you forever. You WILL appreciate being with her, AND your laugh together, holding hands 💟 I will ALWAYS think of your mom every time YOU laugh, as I'm sure YOU will think of YOUR mom. Those are GREAT memories 💕💕💕💕 Forever Your mom was one of a kind. Just like YOU Anderson. She loved you SO much. Caring, compassionate, and loving. Especially for YOU. Stay Strong Anderson You're not alone... 🌟You have ALL of US as YOUR FAMILY 💟💟💟 Mr Anderson Cooper YOU are LOVED 💟💟 AND Rest In Peace Ms Gloria Vanderbilt I love you both Sincerely Kathy 💜
Your mum Gloria is resting in peace, Anderson, and the space she left is still filled with her love, for you and for life. I too spent the last night that my lovely 96 year old mum spent here on Earth holding hands, smiling and sharing love and beautiful thoughts. And it was indeed the best night of my life. It has been a priviledge to be able to accompany her this way, a rare gift that I cherish every day, when I think of her. They never really go away, if we feel them in our hearts. Love, Anderson, and all my respect. From Milan, Italy
Even with his voice breaking, he is still maintaining his professional air he has had his whole career. Lovely tribute. I know how it feels to be the last one in the family. Lost my father when I was 25 and my mom at 32. I have so many years left. I miss them all so much.
No one knows how great of a heartache it is to lose a parent,especially a mother , untill it happens to them . I lost my mom last year and we had been very close ☹️ Gloria Vanderbilt wasn't just a high society name,she was a special lady who triumphed as well as suffered through losses
Mind Freshener You're a disgusting human being. Now isn't the time.. What if someone said to you, I hope one of your kids gets raped and murdered.? That's just not something you say..
Mind Freshener You don't even make sense.. You must be a child.. Now I feel a bit bad because I didn't realize that.. I should have though because adults, adults just don't say things like you did in this post and then went to other posts to just be a sorry piece of shit..
@Mind Freshener lol lol lol, Here you are hiding behind your screen day after day trolling hateful bile on the internet. A sad lonely coward. No one with a kind thoughtful mother would grow up to be like you, unless you are a sociopath, think on that, or is it a case that you troll even your own mother, cause I can't imagine you being nice to anyone, I hope you don't have a dog.........
Rest in peace to your mom and my condolences to your family. One of the most toughest things is losing your mom. Because your mother will be there for you when nobody else will.
Anderson Cooper, I understand you so well. I lost my beautiful mom to cancer suddenly. And I too feel the loneliness, and for lack of a better phrase; "Is there all there is." Congratulations on the birth of your son. He will always remind you that your Mom, is still with you forever.
Glad you got to spend that time with her. Also very rare to feel that you and your mother left nothing unsaid and truly knew each other. Sorry for your loss brotha!
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I've lost both my parents. It's been about 6 1/2 years but every morning, I have to remind myself that they're gone. I think that's probably because I am the caregiver of my oldest brother who is severely mentally and physically handicapped. He's 62 and I'm 54 (with cerebral lupus) it was my last promise to my daddy. I love that you now know who gave you, your infectious, wonderful giggle. I've told people that if mama left this world without knowing everything about me then it was simply because I forgot to tell her. Anderson, you'll never see this, but I do pray that you know how much your mother was loved just by being Gloria. And, who knows, you might have a little girl or boy one day to pass on that perfect genetic pool to, but also the eternal quest of "knowing" that you both shared. I hope so. The giggle must live on. Prayers and warmest wishes from someone who knows what you're going through.
You made her PROUD! My heart feels for you deeply. You’re a strong spirit to have overcome such tragedies in your life. God bless you my dear friend. God bless your mom’s soul. 🙏🏾❤️
She was such a remarkable woman. So strong after a life of sadness. Losing my mom took a lot out of me too. So grateful u were with your mom at the end like I was. Love never dies. Grief is just an outpouring of love. Hugs and prayers.
Anderson Pooper, death is not the end, she simply made a voyage to another dimension, love is still the connection. Remember I was alone for 25 years in Indonesia, my elder sister died and I couldn't attend her funeral. All your mom needs is a prayer to keep her moving to the light...
This tribute was very touching. It felt as if Anderson was in my living room with me talking about his mom. She sounds like a truly beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing her with us and for sharing the memories you have. I am glad that you created those memories and left nothing unsaid. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Anderson. I know it's not the same, but you do have people who love you.
What a beautiful tribute. I started to get choked up listening to Anderson. Live life to the fullest possible, love everyone you can, help everyone you see in need of help, smile more but accept that sometimes you may only be able to cry...lift yourself up and those around you. Life goes by far too fast. Please find happiness in as many things as you can, even if they’re only small things. I wish you the best.
He's breaking my heart. What a lovely man he is and his love for his mother is so touching. I'm so glad he has decided to have his own family....he deserves to be loved and love.
I lost both my parents by the time I was 35. I was the youngest of 7 and my parents were older than my friend's parents. Now at 50 most of my friend's parents are still alive. I tell them all the time how lucky they are to have them still around. I don't think they truly understand what I am saying. When you lose your parents, everything becomes less secure. I remember my mother saying to me when her mother, my grandmother, died that there was no one left to separate her from death. I didn't know what she meant at the time but I did when she died. That safety net of knowing it isn't "your turn" is now gone. Everything in life becomes a lot more lonely, a lot more insecure, and makes you realize how fragile your existence is. Losing your parents is jarring as they were the people who you could turn to in a crisis, or just some unconditional love. They knew you from the beginning, and stood with you when friends and lovers left you. Life is a wonderful thing, but can turn on a dime and suddenly you realize you are standing alone. Anderson certainly never had anything but fragility in his life. His father's sudden death when he was 10. His brother's tragic end when he was in his 20s. He was lucky he had his Mom so long, but in the end, he is indeed now the lone one left. He will feel that void forever. It scares the hell out of you to know they are never coming back. I wish him luck and hope he finds solace in knowing he had her for a long time and left with no regrets.
@Jack Booted Hug What kind of evil deviant doesn't respect a man's space to honor and grieve for his mother......... Says a lot about their mothers....
My mom passed almost 2 years ago and I too was honored to have spent the last year of her life caring for her. She went almost three months after her cancer diagnosis. Nothing compares to the love between a mother and child. You are not alone Mr. Cooper. You may not know us but we are here with you.
Anderson your mother must have been so proud of you.A son who is kind,merciful with so much sympathy for the less fortunate people always ready to resucue anyone in a bad situation.My heart goes out for you,she has fallen asleep,but soon you will see her in the paradise earth.A best tribute from a loving. Son Anderson be strong many people.ove you very much
My deepest condolences to Anderson, truly heartbreaking to lose all of your family. Well done to him for holding himself together, I would not have been able to do so.
I’m crying... I lost my dad 6 months ago. Your tribute reminds me all the wonderful moments I spent with my dad, the unspoken harmony between us. Rest In Peace, my dad, your mom, and anyone else who meant so much to us.
“The bond between a mother and her son is a special one. It remains unchanged by time or distance. It is the purest love; unconditional and true. It is understanding of any situation and forgiving of any mistake”. As the mother of two sons I thank you Anderson for your beautiful tribute to your mom.
I know exactly how Anderson feels. I also lost my mom this June 3. She was 100 but I miss her terribly. We were close and had conversations often till she fell down the stairs at home In April and broke her arm. She developed pneumonia later at the hospital and never got better. I am also the only one left now in my immediate family. I feel orphaned right now.. Just me and my two sons. I know how Anderson feels.
My God, you’re so strong, Anderson. That quote about a fatherless daughter makes me feel even more connected to your mom. God bless you and her. May you know that you are not alone and may you find peace in knowing she’s right by you. 🙏🏼💜💜💜
Beautiful tribute Anderson! May God bless you you and your family! May God grant her internal peace! No matter how old you are loosing a mother is one of the hardest thing in this world 😔
Losing a parent is Big Time tough...... and when both are gone you feel like an orphan. I lost mine and now I feel like no one in this world will ever love me like they did
Love you, Anderson...great tribute! If my daughters ( even just a bit ) feel the same towards me, it will an honor. You and your mom were blessed by God.
God rest her FABULOUS soul. What an icon. I love that story about her social media excitement. My mom JUST joined Twitter. 😳 You followed her. She WILL NOT stop talking about it. 💖 I'll keep her favorite song planning for all the divas.
Anderson, when it comes to the loss of our mother , there is no pain to equal it. I wish to offer my sincerely condolences. Speaking from personal experience, it is something you will never get over, but time will make the pain easier to deal with.
Your mum is an epitome of beauty...heart moving tribute...rest in peace ma'am! Anderson you are in our prayers...be strong for us ypur listeners...God be with you this time of your grief...
Such a lovely lady. I lost my mom in October 2019 and have a huge hole in my heart. Sorry Anderson for your loss....It never is the same without them. I know.
I'm sorry for your loss Anderson...it's clear how much you're hurting with this loss. I don't think being so open and honest about your feelings and experiences are lost on people. I admire the courage.
My hearts aches for you but a beautiful tribute to your mama! I feel your pain, I’m lost both parents within 3 months of each other and I’m an only child. So I understand the alone feeling all to well. Although they say the pain gets better with time, I don’t believe so I have only learned how to cope with the loss! My thoughts and prayers are with you through this journey. You are an amazing son, your mama raised you right!
Peace on you and yours. Your amazing mother is your guardian angel now, she is still here-because she is a part of who you are, now it is her time to protect you. Your tribute, and the book you wrote together are so precious. What a blessing to have had that time to share yourselves completely. Few people get that chance. I know you probably won’t see this post, but I wanted to acknowledge just how much your pain and loss have touched me. I wish I could give you a hug. You are not alone.
Nothing hurts quite like losing mom. She was a regal lady. Look at the wonderful man and professional journalist she gifted the world. Job well done, Gloria.

How true 💔
You're a class act Mr Anderson. God bless to you and your mother. May she rest in peace.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I've lost both my parents. It's been about 6 1/2 years but every morning, I have to remind myself that they're gone.

He's 62 and I'm 54 (with cerebral lupus) it was my last promise to my daddy. I love that you now know who gave you, your infectious, wonderful giggle.

And, who knows, you might have a little girl or boy one day to pass on that perfect genetic pool to, but also the eternal quest of "knowing" that you both shared. I hope so. The giggle must live on. Prayers and warmest wishes from someone who knows what you're going through.

RIP Ms Gloria Vanderbilt you were pure Class🙏🏽💛🌹
BKK your Filth !! and I am reporting you...
*R.I.P GLORIA*
What a beautiful tribute. I started to get choked up listening to Anderson. Live life to the fullest possible, love everyone you can, help everyone you see in need of help, smile more but accept that sometimes you may only be able to cry...lift yourself up and those around you. Life goes by far too fast. Please find happiness in as many things as you can, even if they’re only small things. I wish you the best.
I lost my mother just over a year ago. That pain never leaves you. Bless Anderson Cooper for this moving tribute to his mom. He is a great journalist.
He's breaking my heart. What a lovely man he is and his love for his mother is so touching. I'm so glad he has decided to have his own family....he deserves to be loved and love.
Sorry for your sadness Anderson. Remember her remarkable life and your contribution to her happiness.
Beautifully put...
@MLK's Conservative Ghost I thought you were dead, you're such a horrible disgusting human being.
RIP to your belove Mother....and deep condolence to you and your families 🙏🙏🌷🌹🌻❤
I lost both my parents by the time I was 35. I was the youngest of 7 and my parents were older than my friend's parents. Now at 50 most of my friend's parents are still alive. I tell them all the time how lucky they are to have them still around. I don't think they truly understand what I am saying. When you lose your parents, everything becomes less secure. I remember my mother saying to me when her mother, my grandmother, died that there was no one left to separate her from death. I didn't know what she meant at the time but I did when she died. That safety net of knowing it isn't "your turn" is now gone. Everything in life becomes a lot more lonely, a lot more insecure, and makes you realize how fragile your existence is. Losing your parents is jarring as they were the people who you could turn to in a crisis, or just some unconditional love. They knew you from the beginning, and stood with you when friends and lovers left you. Life is a wonderful thing, but can turn on a dime and suddenly you realize you are standing alone. Anderson certainly never had anything but fragility in his life. His father's sudden death when he was 10. His brother's tragic end when he was in his 20s. He was lucky he had his Mom so long, but in the end, he is indeed now the lone one left. He will feel that void forever. It scares the hell out of you to know they are never coming back. I wish him luck and hope he finds solace in knowing he had her for a long time and left with no regrets.
Losing our mother is the hardest most excruciatingly painful heartbreaks of our lives.
My heart breaks for you.
Your MOM is proud of you Cooper.
Hang in there,
Why are you calling him Cooper?
My deepest sympathies to you, Anderson😔 I wish you strength to get through this loss. RIP Gloria Vanderbilt
@Jack Booted Hug What kind of evil deviant doesn't respect a man's space to honor and grieve for his mother......... Says a lot about their mothers....
My mom passed almost 2 years ago and I too was honored to have spent the last year of her life caring for her. She went almost three months after her cancer diagnosis. Nothing compares to the love between a mother and child. You are not alone Mr. Cooper. You may not know us but we are here with you.
Anderson your mother must have been so proud of you.A son who is kind,merciful with so much sympathy for the less fortunate people always ready to resucue anyone in a bad situation.My heart goes out for you,she has fallen asleep,but soon you will see her in the paradise earth.A best tribute from a loving. Son Anderson be strong many people.ove you very much
My deepest condolences to Anderson, truly heartbreaking to lose all of your family.
Well done to him for holding himself together, I would not have been able to do so.
Sorry for your loss Andersson!!! You’re a great friend of Haiti and i believe God will comfort you and your whole family!!! Stay strong 💪💪💪
Grand lady ...beautiful soul ..and. ..a beautiful son ...loved and missed.
I’m crying... I lost my dad 6 months ago. Your tribute reminds me all the wonderful moments I spent with my dad, the unspoken harmony between us. Rest In Peace, my dad, your mom, and anyone else who meant so much to us.
What a gift of love and gratitude. 🤧😇💜🌻 rip.
I'm not crying! YOU ARE! ;(
“The bond between a mother and her son is a special one. It remains unchanged by time or distance. It is the purest love; unconditional and true. It is understanding of any situation and forgiving of any mistake”. As the mother of two sons I thank you Anderson for your beautiful tribute to your mom.
I know exactly how Anderson feels. I also lost my mom this June 3. She was 100 but I miss her terribly. We were close and had conversations often till she fell down the stairs at home In April and broke her arm. She developed pneumonia later at the hospital and never got better. I am also the only one left now in my immediate family. I feel orphaned right now.. Just me and my two sons. I know how Anderson feels.
Thank you for sharing Anderson, condolences to you...may your deceased loved ones Rest In Peace and may you meet them some day in a beautiful place...
Love you Anderson!
I loved the relationship you had with your mom. It seemed so genuine and fun. She was a nice lady and you are too.
My God, you’re so strong, Anderson. That quote about a fatherless daughter makes me feel even more connected to your mom. God bless you and her. May you know that you are not alone and may you find peace in knowing she’s right by you. 🙏🏼💜💜💜
Beautiful tribute Anderson! May God bless you you and your family! May God grant her internal peace! No matter how old you are loosing a mother is one of the hardest thing in this world 😔
Prayers and condolences 🙏😢
Praying for you... dear Anderson, it’s so heartbreaking.
That was beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. I admire his strength. Hug your mom today if u can
Losing a parent is Big Time tough...... and when both are gone you feel like an orphan. I lost mine and now I feel like no one in this world will ever love me like they did
This one of the most moving tributes ever peace and love Anderson ❤️❤️
Love you, Anderson...great tribute! If my daughters ( even just a bit ) feel the same towards me, it will an honor. You and your mom were blessed by God.
I lost both of my parents, too. I believe your mom is in a very peaceful place now. I have respect both of you.
It’s amazing the gifts we get . I got to spend the last month of my mom’s life with her. I will never forget.
God rest her FABULOUS soul. What an icon.
I love that story about her social media excitement. My mom JUST joined Twitter. 😳 You followed her. She WILL NOT stop talking about it. 💖
I'll keep her favorite song planning for all the divas.
💔 she was lucky to have such a wonderful young man for a son. Best wishes, Mr. Cooper. 💔
Among many other gifts, she gave the world her wonderful, intelligent, sensitive, and beautiful son. Thank you.
You are your Mother's son..we think of you as a treasure as we did your Mom..well done Anderson, you are America's son too.
How befitting. How lovely.
Well said Anderson!! I know you will keep making you Mom proud.
Anderson, when it comes to the loss of our mother , there is no pain to equal it. I wish to offer my sincerely condolences. Speaking from personal experience, it is something you will never get over, but time will make the pain easier to deal with.
Your mum is an epitome of beauty...heart moving tribute...rest in peace ma'am!
Anderson you are in our prayers...be strong for us ypur listeners...God be with you this time of your grief...
Im so sorry Anderson.Please dont feel lonely.She wouldnt want you to be sad.
My heart goes out to you and your family. May God bless and keep you safe.
Such a lovely lady. I lost my mom in October 2019 and have a huge hole in my heart. Sorry Anderson for your loss....It never is the same without them. I know.
I'm sorry for your loss Anderson...it's clear how much you're hurting with this loss. I don't think being so open and honest about your feelings and experiences are lost on people. I admire the courage.
A classy tribute to a classy lady. Thanks for sharing Anderson. ❤️
A gift to be with your mum and her with you Anderson. Holding hands, I know that too. ❤️
My hearts aches for you but a beautiful tribute to your mama! I feel your pain, I’m lost both parents within 3 months of each other and I’m an only child. So I understand the alone feeling all to well. Although they say the pain gets better with time, I don’t believe so I have only learned how to cope with the loss! My thoughts and prayers are with you through this journey. You are an amazing son, your mama raised you right!
I'm sorry to hear about your mom. We just lost my fiance's mom today and his dad in August. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
What a lovely, moving tribute. Good man.
Rest In Peace and God blesses Anderson with a very happy life
What a wonderful son you were! She was lucky to have you! I’m so sorry for your loss.
Peace on you and yours. Your amazing mother is your guardian angel now, she is still here-because she is a part of who you are, now it is her time to protect you. Your tribute, and the book you wrote together are so precious. What a blessing to have had that time to share yourselves completely. Few people get that chance.
I know you probably won’t see this post, but I wanted to acknowledge just how much your pain and loss have touched me. I wish I could give you a hug. You are not alone.
