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

I understand that feeling of regret.

Did I spend the time with her I should?

Now that I have little kids, and how much I love to be with them, the idea of me being old and them being in their 20s and me only seeing them occasionally is just terrifying to me.

Talking about your mom, you said, I was always waiting for glimpses of who she was in the past, whereas he, talking about Jerome, embraced the person she had become.

Sometimes I caught sight of the old her.

She would raise one eyebrow, a skosh, when I asked her if she wanted a glass of wine.

The idea that she was still in there but couldn't communicate gnawed at me.

You also said that you never told her she was in hospice and that you never asked if she knew that she was dying or if she was scared.

And you write, I was like Ilyich's wife, Tolstoy's Ivan Ilyich.

I was like Ilyich's wife, chirping about bullshit while he lay terror-stricken.

I would drop by her cottage and try to perk her up with some dessert or a few sips of wine, but my visits were never more than flybys.

You sound very hard on yourself.

She wasn't alone.

I mean, she... She was with Jeromeo, but... In a cottage right by your house.

It's not like you left her on an ice floe somewhere.

You said, it occurs to me looking back that I abandoned her because of the narcissism of small differences.

Friends always said that we were uncannily similar in looks and temperament.

I couldn't bear to see her until I knew that I wasn't going to die right along with her.

Like I'm going through this.

Your therapist said that you didn't have to appear strong or unfazed to your kids or have definitive answers.
