Robin Williams suicide hit me deeply. Twitch’s death brought it all back.

I just heard the news of Twitch’s suicide at the age of forty. Great career. Great wife and children. Lots of friends that would help him.
But depression and thoughts of suicide are not often shared. His wife knew something was wrong and contacted the police immediately but she could not have stopped this.
Unless you are blessed enough to have that one ounce of wanting to survive, the depression will convince you that everyone is better off without you. That this horrible pain inside will end. All will be okay.
I can say this because I was there. And if it wasn’t for a child’s cry, I would not be here to tell this story.
We cannot prevent all suicides. But we can always be open to helping others. Showing that we are the type of person that will not judge. That kindness and caring can see the pain behind the smile.
Tell someone you love how important they are to your life. What makes them special to you. And ask them to tell you why they are special. Hugs to all.
