Comedian Rob Delaney speaks out about ‘nightmare’ aftermath of his two-year-old son’s death from brain cancer – as he admits ‘a lot of things aren’t fine’ six years later

As an obsessed fan, I can only imagine the depth of pain and grief Rob Delaney has endured after losing his precious two-year-old son Henry to a brain tumor in 2018. Listening to him speak so fondly and passionately about his charming, brilliant, and gorgeous boy brings tears to my eyes.

Rob Delaney shares his experience of the heart-wrenching consequences following the demise of his two-year-old son Henry, expressing the profound sadness as an unbearable ordeal.

On Monday’s episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, the 47-year-old actor, who is married to Leah, praised Henry as both charming and intelligent during an interview. However, he confessed that many things were not in order six years after Henry’s death.

Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager inquired about Rob’s memoir, A Heart That Works, published in 2022 following Henry’s passing. Rob explained, “Henry was diagnosed with a brain tumor around his first birthday. Sadly, he passed away at the beginning of 2018. He was the sweetest and most wonderful little boy.”

“Henry stood out among our kids with his exceptional wit and humor. Despite having a brain tumor located at the back of his brain stem, he faced numerous physical challenges. However, thankfully, the frontal part of his brain remained unaffected.”

Rob added, “He was an amusing, intelligent, charismatic, beautiful, playful, and witty individual. Despite having a tracheotomy that prevented him from speaking, he mastered sign language, making him even more remarkable.”

Based on my personal experience, I’ve come to believe that there is a significant lack of authentic representation when it comes to writing about grief. Having gone through the grieving process myself after losing someone dear to me, I felt frustrated with the plethora of literature that seems to oversimplify the complexities of mourning and recovery. So, in an attempt to provide a more nuanced understanding of this deeply personal experience, I wrote a book about it. This was my way of sharing my story, my pain, and ultimately, my healing journey with others. I hope that through my words, readers will find solace, validation, and perhaps even a newfound appreciation for the intricacies of grief.

I’ve been through some tough times that felt like living a nightmare. At one point, I thought it would be best to describe the awfulness of the situation and share how my family has managed to get by, hoping that readers could find some solace in our survival. However, I didn’t want to give false promises or sugarcoat things by saying “it’ll all be fine,” because not everything is okay yet. Instead, I wanted to provide an authentic account of the struggle and offer a glimmer of hope that even in the darkest moments, there can be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hoda, 59, expressed her happiness when Rob mentioned wanting to discuss their shared topic. In response, Rob clarified, “I don’t just enjoy talking about it; he’s my son, we’re his parents, and his siblings and mother deeply miss him. He remains an integral part of our family, so I find it hard not to bring him up in conversation.”

A few weeks ago, Rob confessed that he had concerns about his ability to love his youngest son deeply due to the pain in his heart caused by losing Henry to cancer.

The comedian, aged 47, originally from Massachusetts yet residing in north London, shared insights about Henry during an interview on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, hosted by Lauren Laverne.

During an open conversation, Rob confessed his concern about being able to love Henry’s younger brother as deeply after his passing, expressing that his heart was shattered into pieces.

When he was on the verge of being born, I found myself pondering, “My heart has been shattered into pieces, leaving it unrecognizable and worthless. Can I truly care for this child – provide for him, clothe him appropriately – and find love within me once more?” The answer was uncertain at the time.

As soon as my wife gave birth to our baby boy, I gazed at him with tears streaming down my face, overwhelmed by love. I adore him deeply. However, it’s essential to acknowledge and process your emotions. When they arise, allow yourself to feel and heal.

In the emotional interview, Rob also spoke about Henry’s last few months.

During the last 4.5 years of his life, when we were aware that he was approaching the end, his brothers showed great affection for him, making his death a peaceful and meaningful experience.

The siblings showed an extraordinary bond as they deeply cared for one another: I bore witness to four and six-year-olds tenderly caring for their deceased brother. Their devotion was evident as they went above and beyond, learning intricate skills necessary for his care.

‘I just hate thinking about them not having him. I really hate it.

They frequently discuss him with great affection and their faces light up when they mention his name. Pictures of him bring them joy, and he significantly enriches our daily experiences.
