I wonder if he knew how much he was clearly universally loved or if even that wouldn't have mattered? If there could ever be a "good" thing to come out of it, perhaps it'll be that mental illness will be highlighted more. There needs to be more understanding and treatment. I read somewhere recently someone else saying that, though they aren't normally an overly-sentimental person- this is the first time a celebrity death has felt like a personal loss. So you aren't alone with that feeling.

It is ...What a thoughtful, heartfelt post, LaVonne. It is so very hard to understand what made this beloved man feel like suicide was his only choice.<br /> <br />If you want some insight into Robin Williams, he gave a very honest interview to fellow comedian Marc Maron a few years ago on the WTF podcast. You may find it interesting: <br /><br /> http://www.wtfpod.com/<br /><br />I can say that coming from a family of musicians whose circle of friends were other artists it's been my experience that the most talented people are the most unbalanced in some way. It's hard to explain but it's like they are so good at this one thing that other areas of their lives or psyches are unhealthy.<br /><br />And to be the insightful, sensitive performer he was I'm sure he felt things very deeply. Deeper than most people. This includes his own pain. <br /><br />I'm very sorry he's gone. <br />Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685637592576563415noreply@blogger.com
