What Anderson Cooper Gained Through Immense Loss
Once outgoing, Anderson found himself retreating. "I used to say I am a different person than I was meant to be," he mused. "I became much more introverted and wary, observing more than participating. But I don't know that those are negative things necessarily."But another tidal wave was coming. On July 22, 1988, his brother Carter, 23, died by suicide, with Anderson later explaining Gloria attempted to save him as he jumped off the terrace of her apartment.
While Wyatt's death felt sudden, Carter's was, as Anderson described, utterly shocking, clouded by a violence he's unsure he will ever come to terms with.What does it say about a relationship that I didn't know this was a possibility?" he shared. "I struggle with that 34 years later. There are moments that still just stop me in my tracks and it's like a punch to the gut."What about remembering Carter for how he lived and not how he died, I asked.
"It's hard to get to that place, particularly if their death was violent," he responded. "He will always be this 23-year-old. It's hard to imagine who he would be or what he would be doing today. I don't think I'm there yet in being able to overcome the circumstances of his death and see his life without it being in the shadows of what happened."
