Sloane Crosley – “Grief is for People” | The Daily Show

Been reading Sloane Crosley's works since 2010. I'm happy to know she's gotten into this difficult genre in this book. She writes so excellently on everything, especially very sensitive topics but she pulls in comedy too without being offensive. Enjoyed this interview alot!

FantastIc Sloane!

Interviewer does not seem like he cares or is engaged

Very unlucky person she says with a straight face. The Gaul is astounding. The poor delicate wilted flower.

she did it

I like Sloane Crosley, i'd get to know about her because her apearances The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson; and those interviews are priceless.

My first ever mentor died soon after his son died very suddenly, it was tragic and, still, it felt like I had no right to mourn as much as I did 😢 Thanks for bringing this topic to the table

I’ve been been providing grief counselling as a therapist for many years. The part most struggle with is letting go of the grief as people sometime believe” if I stop grieving I no longer love or care for the person” , however, letting go of the grief means the love for the person will live forever in your heart and memories move from constant sadness to reflexive happiness. ….If the grief continues on past two years then there are broader issues ie., clinical depression etc.

His head is perfect square. He is Jim Acosta boyfriend.

Am I the only one that thinks Kosta and Sloane are straight up chopping??

How beautiful is life that we never, nowadays, can go forward with the things they write and do so from their own minds

AOC in 20 years

I’ll be back. Michael Kosta has specials & after I hang my head in shame I have work to do. 🏃

Wow! That seems like way too much work, and way too complicated, but you do you! I generally kit up by numerical order, but that is what works for me.

North American culture does not shy from death… Mexico has a Day of the Dead. I think Kosta meant to say American

Well done

Thank you.

Great to see authors and poets being interviewed.

Lost my best friend when i was16 then my next bf the next year. I am 48 now and am still processing grief. Maybe i buy this book, maybe we share this grief.

😕Son of a gun. For a moment, I actually thought The Daily Show was interviewing AOC.

stolen jewelry = stolen generational money = stolen vacation money = robin hoods justice ...i only feel sorry for not feeling sorry for you.

Theres an entire subset of study of grief solely and specifically focused around online and long distance relationships.
To say that there isnt content available for understanding the loss of a friend just shows that it was never even pursued.

"Love Never Dies" by Larry Barber is also a fantastic book for those grieving a recent loss

The lovely Sloane Crosley!

Secure the border.

What a cool conversation. At 77..believe me I've gone through grief from loss more than I ever expected. Eventually it moves to the back of the bus...but it never goes away..it just quietly chips away at your heart.

I love when she said her friend’s life was not about the last decision he made, or something like that. There were a whole bunch of years of great times and laughs before that. That’s how I’m going to think about my grief now.

What's up with all these dude hosts?!?? Why can't you hire females as hosts? Put what's her name back on. Desi. Yeah! That's her.

What a beautiful and important interview. Thanks

Keep your heads up everyone no matter what 🙏

Caucasian AOC over here haha

hahaha what a thin book😂😂

Those of us who have lost our Persons love being asked about them. Thank you, Michael Kosta for asking the question.

While Kosta will probably hate this when watching it back - he could of handled it better in many different ways - for me, it was still a great interview and humor surrounding the most serious of topics is the best type of humor out there.

"As a human being, I'm deeply unlucky". Um, no. You're a successful writer who's made it to The Daily Show.

Hearing Michael Kosta being serious, and not the extreme comedic relief he usually is is wild lol

Grief is the worst. It's the Room 101 of the living.

I'm always a little turned off by these types of interviews, cause they are just adverts to sell books.

Sorry, but how did this tool (Michael Kosta) achieve this coveted position?

can someone please tell Kosta to stop saying "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"

Sloane's books are great. She's an excellent humorist. I'm so very here for the grief next.

Are you serious. She got her Shtuff stolen and her friend committed suicide. So that makes her super unlucky and makes her an expert on grief. You must be...me.

I lost my brother to suicide one and half year ago. The pain is here every day. I cried watching this. Thank you for bringing the topic of grief to the Daily Show. I will read this book.

Heartfelt interview about the realities of the human experience. Thank you 🙏

A Grief Observed is an amazing book that's helped me through so much grief.

I thought this was Mary-Louise Parker at first!

I lost my 17 yr old brother in a car accident when I was 12yr. I can relate to the uncomfortable nature surrounding grief, cause not only did people, my peers especially, not know what to say to me, but it also made me uncomfortable.
I remember a few years later at a pep rally, the band/guests, whoever they were, who were speaking/performing at the pep rally spoke of my brother's passing. They remembered the last time they were at our school 3 years earlier, how a junior student (my brother) had died. I was embarrassed by it. Of course I swelled up with emotion at the mention of him, but at the same time, I sunk down in my seat, not wanting to b noticed tearing up. I was ashamed, embarrassed, & horrified of any attention it might bring me.
Of course, as I've grown up & matured, I realize the undue burden of others' squeamishness that I placed on myself not wanting to make others uncomfortable, when I honestly should've just allowed myself to grieve. I added to my suffering by pushing down those feelings & not wanting them to b seen publicly because I must've sensed people's reaction & not wanted them to b uncomfortable.
I sensed that at 12.
Of course as adults we're more tuned in to cues & body language, so I imagine many who grieve are influenced by a desire to filter or conceal their grief in order to cater to others, when I think we'd mostly all agree, in actuality, it should b quite the opposite. At our darkest moments, the comfort level of others should not b a priority. Sadly, for me it was. Here's hoping for others, they don't feel this burden.

I’ve lost two best friends. It’s not a club you want to be in. The worst question to be asked. Were they a born again Christian? If the answer is - no, how the f is that comforting?

"This novel was pleasantly chesty" was an interesting take that I did not expect.

Get this dumb show off the air.
