As I see all the posts about Robin Williams it takes me back to the very first time I experienced suicide! My friends mother when we were 19 years old took her own life and I was so angry!! I thought it was so so selfish and how could she do this to her kids and her husband? I learnt a few years ago that it is very far from selfish and that anger turned to compassion as I watched another friend go through it with her husband! Except this time I looked at it differently because her and I talked about how he truly thought that taking his life was the best for everyone around him...that everyone would be better off if he was gone! How sad that he was so stuck in that mindset that he could not get it out....he was suffering so badly and noone could do or say anything to make him think differently...mental illness is real....depression is real not just in the stars who have everything going for them but for our family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances in our community!! What are we going to do to help, to change this?amy wont talk about it for fear or being judged? But truly if they could only see how brave and courageous they are....I hope if any of you are ever feeling this way you know I am here for you! You will never be judged as I have seen so many people in my life go through this and come out on the other side triumphantly!! Show some love, hug someone, look into their eyes and have the tough conversations!! Just be there....and seek help with them!
