Garfield, who has openly grieved for his mother since her passing from pancreatic cancer in 2019, shared his feelings on loss, noting that grief represents unexpressed love. He also discussed the beauty of missing someone, equating sadness with love, which resonated with many viewers and fans.
Goldie, Goldie, Goldie: Can I tell you something? There's someone, there's a person, who gave my mother, during her life, the most joy, the most comfort, and tonight, I feel very lucky because I get to thank that person from the bottom of my heart.
For me, grief is unexpressed love, and I'm never going to be able to express fully the love that I have for my mother, the gratitude that I have - that I got given the best mother around.
It's like we all leave this life with an unfinished song. No matter how much of our song we get out, it's never going to be fully done, and it was the same for my mother.
Sadness is a gift. It's kind of a lovely thing to feel, in a way, because it means you really loved somebody when you miss them.
