In September, the comedian penned an essay about Henry's death and the hospital visits leading up to it. He wrote at one point, "A regular baby's smile is wonderful enough. When a sick baby with partial facial paralysis smiles, it's golden. Especially if it's my baby."

Henry died at their home and was "so happy" to be in his comfortable surroundings. Delaney told Sunday Times, "It was just us, and it was really special."

On Christmas, Delaney took to Twitter and wrote about the holiday without one member of their family. "Our first Christmas without Henry came & went," he wrote. "The day itself was okay, maybe because there were so many horrible, painful days leading up to it; we must have hit our quota or something. We talked about him a lot & included his memory throughout the day."

He said in a second tweet, "I speak publicly about Henry in an effort to destigmatize grief. My family is sad & in pain because our beautiful 2 yr old boy died after a long illness. Why wouldn't we be sad? Why wouldn't we be angry and confused?"
