Russell's interview technique is excellent. No matter what the subject is or who the guest is he asks the question and lets the guest answer it fully with no interruptions. I applaud Rob's strength here. No parent should face that.

I know it sounds weird, but I feel honoured to listen to Rob when he speaks about Henry.

I love his openness, he doesn't do the typical thing of putting a brave face on, it's fucking unfair and he says so and doesn't care if people think he's self pitying. This is healthy grief. And the way he talks about his son's eyes is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life. God bless him.

As a grieving father, thank you Rob Delaney for this poignant reflection. I connected with everything you said as I remember my lost, loved Joseph.

This is such a moving thing to watch. It's also a great example of positive masculinity.

"Grief is the price we pay for love" - Rowan Williams

His dream of his late son leaving message to baby brother in their mother's womb. I just can't...

Props to the audience as well for being quiet at the right times...

"And now when I hold my other children, I feel - I physically feel - that they are like, stardust that has temporarily assembled into human form, and will one day disassemble and become something else." Nothing like earth-shattering loss to really hone in on what is important in the world.

This is one of the most raw, poignant, and heartbreaking interviews I’ve ever watched. Thank you for being willing to share your pain in hopes of helping others who might be going through something similar.

I wasnt prepared for this video when i clicked on it.

There should be no stigma to grief, or mental health really.

Shout out to My Nigerian Aunties out there , being fully expressive of their emotions

Shoutout to his wife, she must have suffered so much

"He was so fun to be with." That's such a raw sentiment even though it seems so simple.

Very impressed by Rob Delaney. He is incredibly good at simply talking - his voice is warm and relaxing, and he sounds like he actually means every single word he says, which makes them even more meaningful. Then you look at what he is talking about, and it is unbelievable he can be so composed for the whole time. So much respect to him. I have been dealing with grief too, but even if I am doing relatively fine now, I would never be able to be so open about it. There is no recipe for how to face grief, everybody has to find their own way, but having somebody like Rob sharing his story and feelings is going to be an incentive for all of us to keep going. We can all do it. Thank you Rob.

This is so god damn good. Not only Rob Delaney being able to speak openly about this subject but also how excellent Russel Howard is as an interviewer.

Still remember fun we had on the ward Henry! Still thinking of you sweet lil boy. Hugs from a student nurse

I don't know how anyone could dislike this video.

I really appreciated this! It really hit home for me. I lost my brother last September to suicide. It was a few (hot) days before he was discovered. My father, who volunteers as an emt, was able to hold his hand as they zipped him into the bag. I can't even imagine what that was like for him. My city wouldn't even do the autopsy because of the level of decay, they had to send him to the capital. It was a no casket funeral... One of the hardest parts for me is dealing with other people. In part because I hate the "idk what I'd do if I lost my sibling." It feels selfish. Like, this isn't about you!...but then I feel selfish...yes, I know I should be in counseling. I have dealt with loss before, my mother, a decade earlier. But that was illness, I had expected it for 16 years....plenty of time to come to terms....prepare myself, as it were... If it's someone who knew him, I can jump to a funny story. But I'm lost when it's someone who never knew him. All I can think is "it's ok, it was his choice." So, hearing a healthier take on this warmed my heart. I have to be more patient with them and take the opportunity to tell them about my genius brother! Who taught me algebra before I knew my times tables. Who taught me to use and maintain my computer. Who taught me game strategy. Who had to be told twice not to start fires inside buildings... Who retired at 40 and started a home business selling board games. My brother who taught me to love my inner geek! My brother, who will never be able to say "I'm so glad I'm here."

stardust comment is just profound esp coming from Rob. do feel sad for his sons passing. but really nice he try to help others with their grieving

This should be shown to all the internet trolls who attack "celebrities" online with nasty comments because they think they know them. I had seen Delaney's tv show and saw him in Deadpool 2 and thought what a great year he was having and what a funny guy he was, but I had no idea about his personal life and what he was going through until now. Everyone has problems, big and small, that we don't know anything about, so maybe think about that before you decide to attack some one just because you didn't like their movie, tv show or song. Thank you Rob for sharing and I'm so sorry you and your family have to go through this. Thank you Russell for a great interview.

I'm glad Russell let him speak so candidly about this. That's the unspoken thing here. Rob could have just come on and sold his TV show or whatever, but they obviously agreed to talk about his feelings about the son that he lost. Qudos.

Genuine tears streaming down my face. I can empathise with Rob; I lost my brother to cancer six years ago, it was his birthday on Monday and I miss him like mad everyday.

I like how the interviewer isn't being rude and too personal, like not pushing it like most interviewers. Got my respect from a guy from Canada.

Unfortunatelly I experienced the exact same thing as Rob. I was crying so much when listenning and I completely understand and feel everything he said. My boy passed away a year ago from neuroblastoma, he was 3 years and 5 months old. He was fighting for one year and 5 months. He loved halloween and christmas. I miss you and love you my boy forever!

I’ve always found Rob to be absolutely hilarious, but Christ do I have a new level of respect for him after watching that interview.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.......

as a father.... this broke me

I know this love pain Rob carries, I tragically lost my adored 20yr old son, Kyle, 18 months ago. I’m incredibly inspired and proud of him for speaking so honestly about how deep this pain is, how he kept himself together is admirable. His dream that Henry left the new sibling a message is so intense in beauty...it will take your breath. God Bless Henry...& his beautiful family💙

“I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.” - Robin Williams Rob strikes me as someone with this mindset. It's something I see a lot with comedians :(

What a powerful interview. I can feel the absolute love he has and had for his son and the absolute pain he is in now.

I am amazed how well Rob is able to articulate his grief....and this Russell Howard guy - what a fantastic interviewer.

The insights that Rob Delany shares are truly profound, and man, kudos to Russell Howard for handling a tough subject brilliantly and allowing him to speak. Wow.

Rob giving others permission to talk about their grief in the way that he does is the most powerful expression of emotions about loss I have seen. He must be applauded for doing this and helping others when he is clearly so grief-stricken himself. What a lovely dad he is.

Thank you for this interview. I lost my beautiful 20 year old daughter two years ago. Rob you so eloquently described the feelings of grief. Even though we are all on our own grief journey, I have learned that there are so many commonalities for grieving parents. I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Henry. Thank-you for sharing your grief so openly.

This man is so much stronger than he believes he is. His mannerisms talking about his son are so beautiful. Literally has me welling up.

I just had to hug my little brother and feel his warmth.

This interviewer is amazing! If this interview was done on American Television it would have been conpletly ruined!

Hearing Rob talk about his children, especially Henry, made me feel slightly uncomfortable at first. But it's just that level of love is so rarely spoken about. I love the way he sort of looks off to the side, he's not saying it to anyone, he just has to say it abd it's beautiful. It takes a brave soul to bare themselves like that. Stunning sir, stunning.

“Even if Beatrice worked at pizza express”. Apparently she went there at least once with her father

Well now I don't think I'm ever going to stop crying

The sheer strength to articulate this immense grief without breaking down, to me, is superhuman. What a strong man he is. Beautiful and useful for everyone. Thanks for a glimpse into genuine strength of heart.

Pure love..."words mean nothing"

This should basically be required viewing for anyone's significant loss.

Watched this with my newborn sleeping on my chest. What a wonderful Dad. 😭

He shows the most real and honest expression of grief. Even comedy can be a magnificent tool for healing.

The message in the womb only Henry could know... oh my goodness I don't know if I've ever heard anything as beautiful and tragic... so sorry this happened to you Rob, and all the grieving parents out there... love and light to you all

Fan of these two as comedians and entertainers, but never really was too fussed with Russell's interviewing abilities. He has outdone himself and he has converted me. What an excellent and honest conversation. Wishing them both success and happiness in the future.

I liked the bit where Rob was talking tenderly about the death of his son and Wish played their shitty jingle and tried to sell me stuff.

I've been awake about 5 minutes, made a bowl of cereal, popped youtube on and I. AM. BAWLING. This beautiful beautiful man, god bless you and your family.

Grief is evidence that you have loved.

My girl is 4 months off being 3 I cannot comprehend her not being around she is the light of the world, the happiness and silliness and love of existence. This interview is so incredible Rob is powerful in his grief and love and vocalising emotions and Russell being a comedian interviewing on such a serious subject with respect and love. Men sharing their vulnerability is everything the world needs.

This man is still deeply hurting and covers it with comedy. As a father and human, that also covers his pain with comedy - this genuinely brought me to tears. I wish I could embrace this guy and give him love.

That's just heart breaking. Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Rob is very eloquent, I appreciate his speaking out about his experience with grief and love, this is so beautiful

The feeling like a complete alien thing, that's exactly right. My dad passed when I was 9 and that feeling is the real kicker. All loss hurts, but even when it dims it's strange how life-adjacent you continue to feel.

9:53 this is so spot on. I wish everyone knew this. Friends would always apologise for mentioning the person but I feel sader when they don't as feels like everyone's forgotten about them except me

Absolutely stupendous video! Kudos to Russell for conducting one of the most considerate and caring interviews I’ve ever seen. Kudos to Rob for having the strength to open up his personal world and pain to the whole world and telling it like it is!

Oh this interview is one of the better things on the internet. So sorry he had to go through this, AND so grateful he chose to share so vulnerably. What a hero.

Thank you for this Rob. 3 years today since I lost my daughter. I didn't have to chance to meet her, she was stillborn, but you summed up everything I have felt since then so much better than I could.

I usually avoid sad things, but for some reason this video was really beautiful and captivating

Everyone needs to be be able to express their grief like this, hats off to Mr Delaney for speaking in such an open, honest way and to Russell Howard for letting him talk, powerful stuff

He is so eloquent about his grief that it is therapeutic. Wish him and his family all the happiness in the world.

Russell is one of the best interviewers - he lets his guests talk and answer everything as fully as they want. Rob Delany's raw discussion of grief was incredible and touching, and he's such a good role model for men who feel they can't express their emotions without being well received. And the veil he discusses - its one of the big things I noted with my depression from a few years ago (from grief as well) that you see the "real world". Hit home.

This is heartbreaking but I found myself smiling the whole way through, especially when he was taking about Henry’s hair ❤️

Absolutely heartbreaking 😞 I don't know how Russell got through without being an emotional mess, I know I couldn't have done it. Rest in peace little one x

I love that every comment I have read on here is positive. I hope Rob Delaney continues to get more of a platform for his honesty, eloquent insight and compassion. A powerful role model, sorely needed by so many.

Beautiful. What a brilliant Dad and an exceptional man.

I am at 4 years after losing my 31-year-old son (suicide) and this is so true. The worst thing a parent can go through after losing a child is thinking people forgot him because no one will speak about him. I get it, it is hard to talk about and you don't want to upset the parent, but we are already upset and talking about our children helps even when it hurts. I am amazed at his quiet strength, I strive to be there one day.

Thank you so much Rob. I can't begin to understand how hard it was for you to talk to Russell about Henry in such a public forum. It has to be one of the most incredibly touching moments I have ever seen on television. All my love. Phil x

These are the kind of interviews people need to see. They’re real and could really help someone.

I just watched this, even though 5 years ago, and I'm absolutely wrecked. This hits so differently when you have a son. Rob is such a kickass individual to be able to share something so horrendous and yet talk candidly. I seriously applaud this guy for laying it all out there. Catastrophe was such an awesome show too.

I’m breaking down ... wow. The authenticity and emotion and grief in every word ... oh man

What a strong man. Speaks from the heart ❤️

His love for his child is beautiful. I wish to have his strength and grace.

Wow. This was not the interview I thought it would be. Profoundly heartbreaking.

This really does make you realise how fragile life is....I can’t even imagine how Rob is so easily able to just convey his emotions without breaking down....I’d be a mess

I come back and watch this sometimes. What a strong man, I hope he finds peace one day

Holy shit this was powerful, I was glued to his every word, I hope it helps people going through a similar thing. Well done Rob x

thank you for this i am a grieving father whom is struggling with the fact of losing my son Tyler in Aug 17, Your words are so uplifting my heart go's out to you and your family i feel your pain and understand that horrible side of life happens but as i have learned they will always live within us but thank you for your words its nice but not knowing that i am not along in the grieving we feel in our lose of a child

I watched this interview with tears in my eyes, i can’t imagine the level of pain and grief this man has been through. To see him being so positive today is a great message to all people who have suffered a loss in their lives.

My 2 sons died in 2011 in the same MVA that involved my whole family. It was sudden and devastating. I could listen to you and UNDERSTAND what you're trying to convey. It meant a lot to me. Thank you.

Howard is the best interviewer even seen, Delaney, god bless you fella, may the angels cuddle you xx

The world is fucked up when you hear a loving father talk about his loved baby son like Rob just did…. Oh my word…. Absolutely heartbreaking… stay strong…. He is stardust again 😢

HE'S SO RIGHT THERE ARE NO WORDS

I'm surprised that he didn't break down in tears, if i had been through that i would have not lasted.

I wish everyone could watch this. Phenomenal honesty and wisdom.

This is such an intelligent, open and honest articulation of grief. Rob’s an amazing individual.

I have so much admiration for Rob Delaney, such a moving interview. Great stuff Russell

This made my heart sore/soar

wow, that was painful and beautiful at the same time

This is great! This. Is the definition of courage, humility and authenticity! Thank you Russel and Rob for helping us navigating around grief and how to stay by people who grief! ;)

What an intense, real, organic, honest interview I can't imagine his pain

What a beautiful, wonderful man

This is honestly the best interview I've ever seen. His approach to life after losing his child is so beautiful, and has changed the way I view losing a loved one. I'm so glad I got to see this. Thank you.

Why did I go on youtube tonight? Why did I enter in "Rob Delaney"? Why is anything? This horrible thing happened so Mr. Delaney could talk and show us the depth that love can go, how strong we can be, to look at people differently. Tragedy is coming for all of us. Nobody can really escape it, but we can help each other. Thanks for speaking so beautifully, and filling this whole room and turning everyone's room who watched this, into love. We ALL care. We are all a little more on touch with what is really real, and what matters now. I wish you even more strength and blessing and love if you ever need it, Mr. Delaney. Thanks you so much.

what a beautiful, strong man with a beautiful but heart breaking story to tell.

This is just so incredibly powerful. It's almost too much to watch. I'm grateful for this.

Never stop talking about the ones you have loved and lost, the moment you do that, that is when they are truly gone. Memories heal
