All There Is with Anderson Cooper · Amanda Peet: ‘There’s No Algorithm For Grief’ · 12 Jun 2026 podcast

But the idea that you're saying words and doing a ritual that your forefathers did and their forefathers and so on and so on is like it gives me chills.

It's a way to maybe feel comforted that there's something bigger than you.

You're getting to know him.

I have had some similar things happen.

I think one of the most extraordinary things that happened was that when the essay got published, people reached out to me.

In particular, there was a woman who worked at my dad's law firm and talked about the kind of bro culture and how

oppressive that was and how my dad would talk to her about Shakespeare and theater and that he was what she would call a true mensch.

And that was extraordinary to me that

there was something he had done that was so moving to someone that I didn't know about is such a beautiful and strange revelation.

And even with my mom, I just got a letter from her freshman roommate who told me that my mom was such a keen field hockey player, she would do her practice with her stick

on the floor past lights out and that just tickled me so deeply to know that and she sort of implied that my mom was like a little bit naughty and got in trouble sometimes but that she was fun in a really endearing way and so it was just wild it was wild to hear a story about her as a teen my mom was so sick for so long and all her friends are all over the world so we didn't have

a memorial or a celebration of life for either of them, but it's been trickling in as such.

The beautiful things that happened with my mom's death is that

Um, I have a very old friend who I've known since I was six.

We had a big fight and we broke up for nine years and then we got back together and her mom was very sick at the exact same time that my mom was very sick.

Both of our moms were single and broke.

We were just in such a bizarrely similar situation.

And one of the things we talked a lot about is that there's no algorithm for grief, that there's no right way to do it or wrong way to do it.

And it's such a beautiful daydream for you to have this curated idea of a memorial for her and to say it in this podcast.

And there's value in that.
