“How am I ever going to be happy again?”
That was the question Michael Cruz Kayne’s wife asked him after the death of their one-month-old son, Fisher.
Michael is a comedian, actor and a staff-writer on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where his work has earned a Peabody Award, a WGA Award, and two Emmy nominations. He made his off-Broadway debut in Sorry For Your Loss, a raw, comedic, and deeply vulnerable one-man show about coping with a parent’s worst fear, the loss of a child.
This is a sad but inspiring conversation. I found Michael’s attempt to make sense out of his grief and to honor Fisher’s brief life to be an uplifting act of service.
