Charles Krauthammer’s son Daniel on Thursday said he is still grappling with grief after the lost of the conservative author, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, and Fox News commentator earlier this year.
“I’m OK. It’s still a hard time, it’s still very recent and fresh. But I’ve really dedicated myself in this time since to completing his book for him. That’s something he entrusted to me, and it’s something I’ve taken more seriously and more meaningfully than probably anything else I’ve ever done,” Daniel Krauthammer told “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg. “That’s been hard, but it’s also been good, and I felt like I’ve been able to fight for him still, and to do what’s right by him, and also by everyone else who read him and looked at him.”

Charles Krauthammer died in June at the age of 68 following a prolonged battle with intestinal cancer. Daniel Krauthammer’s appearance on ABC’s “The View” coincided with the launch this week of The Point of It All: A Lifetime of Great Loves and Endeavors, a collection of some of his father’s essays and speeches.
Co-host Meghan McCain asked the younger Krauthammer whether he had any advice for other families preparing to spend the holiday season without a loved one. Meghan McCain lost her father, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in August at age 81, after he was diagnosed in 2017 with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
“Spend every minute you can enjoying the beauty that love is with family,” Daniel Krauthammer said.
