Im not trying to be calloused or to sound uncaring. I promise, Im really not. But I have to say this. Im as shocked as anyone at the death of Robin Williams. I was a fan and thought he was an absolute genius. I have loved his comedy since Mork and Mindy and in more recent years his more serious rolls. What an incredible loss. My inicial reaction was poor guy. It must be terrible to feel so much despair. But then I read the press release from his wife, Susan Schenider. She said that she lost her best friend. There is no telling what his three kids are going through now. Shortly after reading that I talked to one of my best friends who was sitting in the hospital with his wife. Shes there because of her complications with cancer. I pulled up facebook and see two posts that made my heart fall. I wont give details but one has a beautiful four year old son who just received devastating news and the other lost their mother unexpectedly. With so many people who are fighting so hard to live, how can anyone justify suicide? I know that depression is hard. I suffer from it myself. Ive spent weeks hiding from the word with so much anxiety that I couldnt keep food down, or even want to eat. I keep myself occupied by continually telling myself that it will pass. People, life is precious. I wont say everything I want to say but think about the people around you. Think what you are doing to them. Everyone has someone who cares, I promise.
