@nbcchicago: "Dying is the opposite of leaving." - Andrea Gibson (8/13/1975 - 7/14/2025) ❤️ An unforgettable moment from renowned poet Andrea Gibson’s final TV interview. They wrote this poem for their wife, Megan Falley, and the entire crew was moved to tears by the heartfelt exchange back in April. Andrea passed away on July 14, 2025.
I didn’t know who Andrea was before today. I missed out.

I’ve never heard a poem more true. Chills , tears. This will be a life long etched poem in my vault to pull out when I need a reminder that our loved ones never leave us. Andrea Gibson you are here. More so than ever. May your loved ones feel your presence ever so sweetly. 🦋

Andrea Gibson’s words will live on forever. 🫶🏻 I hope their soul rests as gently as the comfort, courage, and truth they offered to queer hearts, tender spirits, and anyone who ever needed to feel seen. Their voice changed lives—and it always will.
