Liam Neeson And Sons To The Knicks Game

Liam Neeson took his sons Daniel and Michael to the Knicks game Wednesday night. The Neeson men, along with friend Aidan Quinn, watched the Knicks defeat the Nets.

In the weeks since the untimely death of Natasha Richardson, the family has gone to London, watched a Liverpool football match, booked a film, and spent Easter in St. Tropez.

It's good to see the Neesons enjoying the game with friends. That's what happened when my mother died, I had to stay busy to get through it.

Mr. Neeson is a public figure and knows he's going to get his picture taken. It's a compliment to him and his late wife that people care enough to want to know how he is doing. I'm sure if he was adamant about not getting photographed that he would go into seclusion somewhere. The only thing that's wrong (to me) is when people comment about how awful it is that he or the boys are having a good time and laughing, as if they don't realize that losing someone makes you appreciate life and how short it can be even more.

Like the rest of us, grief comes and goes. It's so soon after Natasha's death, I'd say they're still pretty much in shock. There is a kind of disbelief about the death of a beloved spouse... a beloved parent. As tho the heart and mind won't allow the fullness of what's happened to enter all at once.

Aye... grief comes and goes. In time, as one continues to live their life, moments will come when one is caught off-guard... a song on the radio... the turn of a phrase... something in the wind... and one comes unglued all over again at the remembrance.

Liam is doing right by his boys, and himself. The key to life is balance. As the good book says, there is a time and season for all things. Their moments of grief must be tempered by moments of joy as well, else life is not worth living at all.

God bless this family... and all families... all souls... who share this experience in our common humanity.

They are going about their lives - good for them. This is not to say that they are not grieving. As for the pictures, I think Mr. Neeson is smart enough to know that his and his boys' pictures will be taken when they are out in public. It doesn't look like they are posing for the camera.

Liam seems to be dealing with his wife's death like my brother dealt with my mother's. He went right back to work immediately. This is how he got thru it, work, work, work..

To those who express surprise at Neeson's activities, I ask: what do you want him to do, sit around and mope? Do you think that's what Natasha would have wanted for him or her sons? They should be left alone.

it's exponentially different when you have the kids.

Bless. What a nightmare it must be for the man. All strength to the Neeson/Richardsons, and good on Aidan Quinn. Missed that guy.

It's wonderful to see a man keep going in a normal condition with clear motion while recently in such grief and non-existence. Shows the strongest sense of character.

Oh my god.. is that Aidan Quinn??

[JahLenin]

He looks alright! Different, but good!

[conscioushope]

LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Let them live thier life however they choose.

Grief has to be worked out in one's own way and in one's own time.

From what I've read of him, Aiden Quinn seems to be a lovely person. It's good to know Liam has nice friends who want to help may this a little easier for him.

How can watching the Knicks possibly make anyone feel better about anything?

[sbowerman]

Thats the point of watching the Knicks play. You realize that you don't have it so bad.

[grimcity]

I think your humor sensor is turned off, sbowerman.

One of the very hardest lessons in life to learn is that when someone passes on, life goes on and is for the living and is to be lived to the fullest.

People grieve in different ways and at different paces. I personally feel that Mr. Neesom is doing EXACTLY what a parent needs to do by maintaining a sense of normalcy for two active boys. His attempts at doing so are brave and touching. Of course there will be press, it's the curse of fame, but the kids need a break in the intensity of their day to day pain and their father seems to realize this. I admire him more for this support for his children than I ever have for his enormous talent.

[harriettubman]

Yeah, I saw my brother react the same way with my mother's death.

[Annieke]

I am glad to hear the family is looking for ways to cope with their loss and these distractions and a change of scenery might be that.
But please...leave the boys alone, give them their privacy to mourn for their mother, give Liam privacy to mourn for his wife and give them room and privacy to pick up life after this terrible ordeal for all of them.
No more of these private pictures please!

[kelzk]

OMFG, can we PLEASE leave this family alone?? HuffPo, let it GO.

[Bafun]

disgusting. Let them alone
