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

I found it incredible.

I mean, I've seen a lot of bodies in a lot of different ways.

I've been in hospital wards where like children die in front of me and stuff, but I was holding my mom's hand and it was just, I don't know, I just found it to be this incredible thing.

And I'm so glad I was there.

I think it's so true what you say about the rituals, though, and I do think there's something incredibly valuable about some sort of faith tradition and the ritual of it.

I've started to collect stuff from my mom's family that comes up in weird estate sales and frame a lot of photographs of my dad's ancestors.

tell my kids the stories of them because I want my kids to feel like they're not just floating in space, that they are grounded in a family and a tradition and a history.

And I feel that in grief.

We're living through these cycles which generations of people in our families have lived through before.

I'm working out stuff that my mom was trying to work out as well, and I'm now reading all my dad's old letters.

I'm now

reading all the things that were he was worrying about and concerned about.

Yeah, I'm getting to know him in a whole new way.

I did not have a memorial or a celebration of life for my mom either.

I mean, I did what I normally do, which is like I just threw myself back into work and...

It wasn't until I started going through her things two years later, once I was finally ready to go through her apartment and stuff, that it really started to hit me.

I had this whole idea for a memorial service for her because I wanted it to be really like at the Cafe Carlisle where we used to go and listen to Bobby Short sing.

And I imagined it opening up with like...

somebody dressed in one of her Fortuny gowns dancing under a spotlight with either another woman in a Fortuny gown looked like her as well, or some guy who's masked or something.

I just want it to be this really unusual, interesting, beautiful, strange thing, which is what she was to me.
