Hey everybody, it's me, Audie, and we're actually taking some time away to produce some new episodes of the show.

But in the meantime, we wanted to highlight the amazing work of our colleagues at CNN Audio.

And today we're going to do that with an episode from the latest season of All There Is with Anderson Cooper.

So it's a conversation with Anderson and the actor Ashley Judd about her mother's death by suicide and how that's impacted her mental health journey and how she keeps her mother's spirit alive.

So here's Anderson's very powerful conversation with Ashley Judd.

The past is never dead. It's not even past. William Faulkner wrote that in his novel Requiem for a nun,

and my mom liked to quote it a lot. I found an addendum of sorts to it online recently,

a quote by a writer named Greg Isles from his book, The Quiet Game.

I want to read it to you because I think it speaks to grief in a powerful way.

Iles wrote, Falkner said, the past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor and

webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment,

of desire and consequence of history and eternity. Haunted by wrong turns and roads not taken,

we pursue images perceived as new, but whose providence dates to the dim dramas of childhood,

which are themselves but ripples of consequence echoing down

the generations. The quotidian demands of life distract from this resonance of images and events,

but some of us feel it always. The past has felt especially present to me these last few weeks.

Perhaps it's because of the holidays I've so long avoided

or the anniversary of my dad's death last Friday.

But the dim dramas of my childhood have been playing out very brightly in my mind.

The grief I've so long buried is increasingly, insistently,

trying to make itself known to me.

I just don't know if I'm ready to welcome it.
