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

And at the birthday party, there were all these balloons in the front room.

And the mom was just lying on the couch, like somewhat corpse-like, with stockings that were like way too big.

And she was not the right color and had the wig was like slightly askew.

And I remember being so disturbed by it.

But when I thought about it, when I had cancer and was thinking about my children, I was like, how beautiful, how beautiful that the family had the strength to include her and come what may and not treat her and the pain and the grief as something to be sectioned off.

like a cordoned off thing that's not to be seen, not to be talked about.

I thought it was so beautiful, even though as a child I felt almost repelled by it.

My whole life, she taught me how to talk about my feelings.

Yes, we were insufferable.

Yes, I know.

I know it's different from the way you grew up, yeah.

And different from the way she grew up, whereas I have always found it to be extremely comforting to be able to talk to someone who has been through the same thing or talk to someone who isn't going to judge me.

I can't keep it inside.

As long as I could tell her something, I felt like...

the world sort of righted itself.

So at first it was a very childlike sense that a lot of us have when we just hold on to our mom's sleeve when we feel unease.

But later when we were both adults, it became our ability to really talk deeply about very uncomfortable things.

My sister wasn't like this at all.

It was kind of like my sister and my dad had a certain style of dealing with uncomfortable feelings, and then my mom and I had a certain style.

And it's taken me a long time to realize there is beauty in both ways of handling things.
