Anderson Cooper isn't afraid to openly share his views on grief.

The CNN correspondent sat down with author Megan Falley for an episode of his live show "All There Is Live with Anderson Cooper" − his grief podcast that premiered three years ago − where they discussed the recent death of Falley's wife, poet and activist Andrea Gibson.

The two went on to talk about the finality of death, which caused Cooper to become visibly emotional. "You used the word 'allegedly' when you talk about Andrea's death, which I kind of love," the journalist told Falley during their conversation about reading something she had written about her late wife.

Falley replied, saying, "It felt so weird to talk with such certainty, to say 'Andrea died' as if any of us know what that means."

"We actually don't know what it means, I don't think," Falley added. To which Cooper agreed, "It's true."
