Grief isn’t talked about enough and I feel like he’s honoring his family by speaking about it so beautifully.
I’m really grateful for how he’s handling this. He’s so sweet.
Ugh love him!! ❤️
I love that he’s sharing this ❤️❤️❤️
He looks just like my grandma in that last frame, I’m gonna go call her.
I love him so much. EB White said he wrote about death to help ease children into the subject of grief. Grief is universal, might as well treat it as such.
Grief is the love we didn’t get to give them in our lifetime.
I talk about my losses an annoying amount but it’s because in doing so I can be incredibly open about my mental health. I always tell people “you know who gets to be candid about suicidal ideation? The woman who has lost two kids.” And it’s allowed other people to talk to me about their own mental health because they know I’ve been there and I’ll never judge. It also helps me immensely because I can’t not talk about them, they’re the biggest parts of me and I don’t want to hide that.
Thanks, Mr. Short. I feel the same way.
We need to stop viewing grief, despair, sadness, loss, death, depression, etc like they’re unique experiences that we don’t “burden” other people with. Everyday sadness happens. Lets talk about it. Let’s get used to being in public while experiencing something.
I am so glad he’s speaking about all of this in these terms, specifically. So many of us are managing those things and feeling less alone matters. Especially when there’s so much risk, still, in being open about some of these conditions due to stigma.
so this just makes me love him even more, (somehow that was possible). But he’s right and I appreciate him sharing in this way.
Yes! I love that he is doing this publicly but truly every single person that has ever bought up suicide/MH in a regular-ass conversation has helped to create a ripple effect to de-stigmatise the issue. Let people share and get some love and support rather than carrying these things alone.
I think a lot of people don’t realise how brave it still is even though it’s 20 fucking 26.
Amazing and beautiful from a man who has lost a lot.
Marty is the goat, not just in terms of comedy, once in a lifetime dude.
What I admire most of about him is that he doesn’t have to be doing this right now. He just lost his daughter to one of the most painful moments that can happen to a family but he is talking about and advocating for more talk about mental heath and suicide. RIP Katharine.
He seems so lovely, I hate that he’s had all this grief in his life 😞
he’s been through so much 💔 much love
Grief is such a part of life and unresolved grief can hurt people even more. It shouldn’t be swept under the rug. All feelings are valid not just the ones we are comfortable dealing with. Bless him and everyone like him. ❤️ It is not an easy thing to talk about your loss and feelings publicly.
I love him for this. He’s so right.
Exactly.
My parents are both dead and I’m 37. Shit is hard to deal with. I felt shame when talking about it when it first happened but I slowly moved to not hiding it. In some weird way it helps me cope.
I also had a friend who passed away shortly after we turned 21. I couldn’t imagine being a parent and losing your kid like that.
I feel for anyone who unexpectedly lost a loved one so untimely.
we need to talk about this more, thank you, Martin
Bravo.
