“You never ever get over it, but you learn to live with it," Gloria shared with Anderson. “There was a moment when I thought I was going to jump after him, but then I thought of you... and it stopped me from doing that."
Reflecting on his brother's death is also a very emotional process for Anderson, who becomes choked up during the intimate interview.
"There's this word closure they've spoken so much of today and there is never closure on something that happens like this," his mother added of Carter's suicide.
"When I hear people on TV use that word it's like a TV word," Anderson said.
