Elmo and Jessie sometimes have big feelings when they remember Uncle Jack, but Elmos dad Louie reminds them that it helps to talk about their feelings. When Families Grieve launches April 14th at 8 pm on PBS (check local listings) with a television special featuring Katie Couric, Elmo, and the courageous stories of families coping with the death of a parent.

@Angie2343 Yep. I’m pretty sure that Bill Cosby had really strong feelings when his son died.
My grandpa died a year ago…
the voice of the older monster sounds like lotso from toy story 3
Louie has a SWEET bowling shirt 
Seasame street handled it beautifully when Mr Hooper died
@BeatlesAmiYumi The same feelings happened when Wheel of Fortune announcer Charlie O’Donnell passed on to the next life. The show is gonna be a lot different now.
@flwrgrl13 Gosh! I’m really sorry about your hamster! Really, I am! I felt the same way when my grandpa died in March. I even fely that way when my Aunt Cheryl died of cancer.
Very Powerful. How many other Kids shows teach us that we shouldn’t be afraid to express our feelings? Sesame Street beats Barney the Dinosaur any day.
i remember last year, my hamster Sandy died….she was a little overweight and i thought she was going to have babies but it turns out that she died even though i gave her food and water and cleaned her cage
i was so mad when she did, but i got over it the next day
Go Jessie and Elmo!
awww that was really touching :,)
@AlalineBond No it isn’t. Death is a natural part of life and it affects many children. There’s nothing wrong with talking about death or educating children about it.
Louie looks like a recolored Telly. Also apparently Louie is in the military.
he reminds me of hannah montanas dad lol
@EssenceOfTruth yeah that was so sad
T T OH i miss u sooooo much Mr hooper!!! i cried the very same day on dat episode!!!!
@EssenceOfTruth “Just because.”
Sesame Street - 1,000,000+
Barney and Shits – ZERO!!
My uncle Chuck died 2 years ago my dad I still miss him now.
@GryphonHall then try to think positive and don’t be depressed
Ah, so simple. Just talk about it and the pain will go away, right? But what if, when you try to talk about it, people tell you to shut up, get over it and get on with life? What if you aren’t ready to stop talking about it? That’s what I’d like to know.
@mindmonkey00 They did it before.
I loved this special so much! Kudos to Sesame Street for covering the issues most Americans care about!
I suscribed.
I get so sad when i watch this, I remember my mother and I watching sesame street almost every day until i was 7, we loved sesame street. A year ago last tuesday my mother past away. I’m still grieving inside, and I’m happy that my old friend elmo can help
