Anderson Cooper’s tribute to his friend Anthony Bourdain
Anderson Cooper’s tribute to his friend Anthony Bourdain
In death, as in life, Anthony Bourdain brought us closer together.
On his award-winning series, “Parts Unknown,” Bourdain brought the world home to CNN viewers. Through the simple act of sharing meals, he showcased both the extraordinary diversity of cultures and cuisines, yet how much we all have in common.
Tragically, he proved this again on Friday. Bourdain’s death shook television viewers around the world. The most common sentiment: “I feel like I’ve lost a friend.”
Oh my goodness… I fight depression myself… we hide it deep inside…. but I tell my self just hold on one more day. As tomorrow things could changes… I am still hoping… it’s not easy… but you can’t give up… regrets are a chance to change your path… look forward not back… some times the path is not easy we all take one step at a time move your feet and enjoy the journey it’s yours alone , you never know what you will fined around the corner.. … if you give up, you could miss something so special! Your life! So don’t give up… you are never truly alone… take a chance reach out don’t be afraid to ask for help… open the phone book call the number in your area the suicide hot line…. some one will be there to listen… and tomorrow is a new day a new start.. and today will be the past…
N Bigby Good point I would never have thought of. Thank you.
Anne’s Reborn Babies and fun in The nursery We must continue to find the strength and the will to make another day, this world needs the balance the most sensitive people contribute, we matter!!
Anne’s Reborn Babies and fun in The nursery lots of love to you sweetie.
Anne’s Reborn Babies and fun in The nursery I feel ur pain
. Hold on baby.. we got this
Ive had deep and lasting bipolar disorder for 25 years. The highs can be fun, but the lows are absolutely crushing. Ive contemplated suicide many many many times. The only thing that keeps me here is my profound belief in reincarnation and in knowing that death is not the end. But a door. And whatever you could not conquer in this life, you will repeat in the next. Your dark side is not something you slay. Its meant to give you a different understanding of existence. Darkness is real. Shake its hand, respect it, and know that the good that exists in you is greater. Its a test used to discover your best self. If you were always happy, you would never stretch. Until you get weary. Stretch. Understand. Empathise. Love. Rest in greatness Bourdain
MsTuliplady May you and all of us keep striving. This world is no joke.
reincarnation? Bwahhh ha ha you nut job
Ms. T,
Very, very well said. I’m sorry to here about your everyday situation
You have to deal with. But so wonderfully greatful, I was able to read your reply you posted on YouTube. Gonna miss Anthony and his shows insight. But everyday is a new day to hope and try. You will never be better off choosing death over life. Stay , live,
love w/ us.
Not sure anyone can truly understand until they’ve been there themselves. One of the unfortunate social and societal side effects of this malady. And it is a malady. The first step is recognizing it. Then, fighting it, knowing it’s going to be a long, hard battle — possibly lifelong, as you say. The only way to deal with it, I suspect, is to listen to the advice of your friends and stay as close to them as possible.
Hard to believe he would do such a thing. Anthony just filmed a show in Armenia. I’m sorry but I believe it wasn’t suicide. A person like Anthony has seen the world he knows better. In my heart, I know he knew better than to commit suicide. RIP my friend ❤💙💛from Armenia.
It is strange to live in a world without Bourdain
The_Thrillist84 very strange
Truth.
R.i.p Anthony, thoughts and prayers go to your family and friends.
Anthony was such a badass. I will miss him.
Spiral Breeze Badasses don’t hang themselves over nothing.
I’m Amazed at how Bizarre many of the comments are about Bourdain. Seems as though he was Loved and Admired by many but on the other side of the fence many Vicious comments about his being Liberal and Glad he Died Blah, Blah, Blah……So much Hate in the World over differing Beliefs……So sad.
PhotoGeorge he wishes dead to Trump and I am glad he go to hell
gene tillman
Your an idiot.
And s closet homo.
Come out! You’ll feel better
Nobody
It’s in your little life “nobody” if you accomplish an once of what this man had managed to do you should consider yourself lucky. Flapin your lip won’t change anything.
And I seen and read a lot of that stuff. I think you taking it a little too seriously.
If you look closely.
They’re all one kind of people.
The music towards the end reminds me of Brooks’ death in Shawshank Redemption. So sad. I never comment on this kind of stuff but I first read kitchen confidential when I was 15. Was a fan ever since. I miss him already. I have never felt like I lost a friend after a celebrity death. Today has been surreal.
Ohhh noooo!! Noooo…. 🙁 Why…!!?? Nooooo….
why because he wanted to cook for eternity..in hell 🙂
Trevor K McKenzie troll ……boring and dumb
Cultured and pure class with grit. As a man, he was goals.
Pure class? He said he would murder the President. Ended up killing himself.
Just another crazy liberal who couldn’t hack the real world.
Esteban A. “Goals?”
Like banning an entire race of people from his talks?
Like extorting people who have no ties to America’s slave trade by garnishment of all white wages?
Like being so self-loathing you’ll spend millions to prove Jews aren’t white and your a Jew?
Like feeding two world leaders hemlock and starting a world war so all the whites will fight and die?
Like making forced race mixing a thing, to eliminate whites from the gene pool?
You need to reevaluate some things and if you’re white and can’t understand the 14 words, join him please.
We are 7.3% of the world’s population, how are we to blame for everything??
Ever heard of a scapegoat?
I bet they’re white.
Nobody … Seriously, what the actual fuck are u talking about? Put down the crack pipe.
Rest in Paradise Mr. Bourdain
You’re a dumb ass libturd if you think the eternal flames of hell are paradise 🙂
Trevor K McKenzie insensitive
After having hung himself? No, Anthony is not in Paradise.
He did an amazing amount for recovering addicts. Changing opinions and being open about a subject that many denied. I’m saddened by this. I loved him.
Princess Sarah, he openly wanted all White people to die. You love a genocidal monster? Do you love Hitler? You’re either ignorant to who Bourdain was or you are satanic
He will be sorely missed
Condolences and deepest regrets to his family. May he find peace.
Trevor K McKenzie, if you truly believe in God, be passionate and less judgmental, please! Only he and God knew of all the suffering and agony he went through
.
Trevor K McKenzie why?
Issam Harrabi, it’s because he is a POS!.
Trevor K McKenzie I hope you honestly get your fingers chopped off.
Bourdain wanted all White families eliminated from the earth. Said so on his show. Do not grieve chief Hitler.
I am still in shock! Thank you Mr. Cooper! Love this and at least I was able to laugh at your reaction with blood sausage. I will surely miss Anthony Bourdain. So hard to think he left us.
J Town Cooper is CIA. Was born into it. He is disinfo.
Look at what he is worth, and why.
Classical blue-blood.
Bourdain was killed because he knew…
Regular Joe You shouldn’t skip your meds.
Picket Fence lmao
The world’s greatest story teller didn’t leave a note.
He did openly call for the genocide of all White children. He was scum aka Hitler on LSD
4GUESTS BOOOWHOO😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
…A great loss! So sad! Every interview he mentions having a great life – doesn’t make sense; leaving a girlfriend, leaving his daughter behind. Makes me wonder if an autopsy report could show proof if there was a deficiency of Vitamin D that caused his depression. If it was more medical, rather than, emotional. Someone that would travel as much as he did, there had to be times of great jet-lag, or lack of sleep, drinking more coffee, or self-medicating to stay alert/stay awake.
4GUESTS this guy was a crook
4GUESTS Exactly! Illuminati set up!!!
I am speechless we lost a great person, my greatest condolences to this family
He was a genocidal monster. He wanted all White people to die.
He got me through some dark times. this breaks my heart.
And how! Or, should I say, ‘da.’ Da, indeed. Xорошего дня!
a777, i hope your mother is proud of you! i bet you were the school bully.
A777 huh
same here…so hard to believe
Exploration Inspiration yawnnnnnn
I don’t know one celebrity that was so respectful to so many different cultures. The world, not just this country, lost a legend.
Openly wishing for the deaths of all White people is respect for different cultures??? You’re a special kind of stupid or an old fashion type of evil
So true what Anderson said he finds those heavanly words which makes me a grown man cry he truly has the best words ever this illness makes me wanna quit sometimes but my kids need me as long as I can why did he hurt his children like that ?? Im suffering every day what is my reason to go on then … maybe loosin my eyesight but I must go on rest in paradise anthony
That is the reason for myself having struggled with it every day for 27 yrs the thought never really leaves my head I’ve come to terms with it’ll be one day. But for my kids sake I try to postpone it for as long as I can. There’s just some days it’s hard escape the hold it has on you.
Chris Howard Sorry to hear that and death is inevitable but the lasting effects it leaves on your children..Our children should outlive us..You’ll get to the other side eventually dont be in such a hurry to get there🤲🤲❤
H.N.I.C sometimes if you can withstand the pain you have in your entire body and you have the will to live then you must tolerate it or take pain meds to get it stop for awhile but tolerating the pain for many years is hard if you have a drug addiction that nearly helps slow the pain down but the human has it’s limits and it’s up to that person to decide if he or she can’t take it any longer and choose death to end their suffering
H.N.I.C I may not know you, but as part of this human race that we are all joined by, we are family.
I hope you don’t feel alone and that you know that you’re loved, even by people who have never met you. Our souls link us, all of us.
We are family, please, take care. I care. 🕊
🕊Chris Howard I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I know that all our bodies are made differently and some people are wired to feel things more… Or less than others. It sounds like you feel sadness and darkness more than the rest of us and that’s unfair. Just know that you’re not alone. I admire and respect you so much for fighting every day for the past 27 years, fighting so that someone else will not feel that sadness darkness and despair if you took your own life. I think it shows great strength to have love win, Despite having the feeling inside you of darkness and wanting to stop the pain.
I wish I had answers for you, but I don’t. I just want you to know that some stranger in Canada cares about you. I want you to win. I want you to survive this darkness. Whatever light you can find whatever goodness you can see whatever makes you happy chase it, tackle it to the ground, embrace it and devour it. Let those small moments of light consume you so when you’re hungry for them you know that they’ll be back.
Please keep staying strong. You have the power to make this world a greater place, a better place while you are still in it. If you were to go it would make the world for everyone who knew you turn dark and make all those people feel what you feel now. I don’t want you to suffer, but just as importantly I don’t want those who love you to suffer either. You have the power. You are power, and you are loved.🕊
