Ruled a suicide-by asphyxia Sadly we lost another great one,only this time to suicide. His death hit's home for me because coming this Sept.22nd.my wife committed suicide 10 years ago.My daughter now 42 and I survive. How many of us contemplate suicide?I know I have,but fortunately my daughter is the love of my life and I could never commit such an act.Anyways one suicide in the family is enough. Robin Williams certainly had his demon's,an inner voice that commanded him to drink and to use drugs.Even the power of Jesus,our Lord couldn't stop him from his addictions. I feel sad for his wife and his children who must've adored him. Rest in Peace Robin Williams,you will be missed.
Prayers for The William's Family, daBronx's, and all surviving family/loved ones of suicide. I read one quote on the internet today summing up Robin Williams from the movie/character Genie "You're free". Robin Williams had phenomenal talent and I grew up watching him on "Mork and Mindy" amongst his movies. God bless and RIP.
Dabronx. You are a very strong man and it seems you and your daughter have a great relationship. It is very sad that so many take the suicide way out. It's just so hard on those left behind. We seem to be hearing about it more frequently. He was a wonderful actor. He brought laughter to so many. It's just sad.
My high school friend's son (he was 17) committed suicide and in memory of him, we donate yearly to this program: http://yellowribbon.org/ My childhood neighbor (he was 50) committed suicide and in memory of him, we donate yearly to this program: http://www.bringchange2mind.org/
If anyone you know, is struggling with thoughts of suicide, please immediately seek help. You can speak with a skilled, trained counselor at a national Suicide Prevention Lifeline crisis center in your area, anytime 24/7 — call 1-800-273-TALK (8255). I wish Robin had access to this information!
I believe he had acess but was unable to pull himself out of the deep dark hole he was in. I believe he was exhausted from continuously having to battle the demons inside of his head. I know from dealing with a family member that addiction is a lifelong struggle and sometimes you just can't fight anymore. It is tragic for the family. I feel so sad that Robin gave up the fight not only for him but for those who loved him. I pray for him and his family.
That brings a big smile to my face, I've watched it several times. I am so sad for The Williams family and suicide survivors. Big hugs to you, daBronx.
To be honest, I don't know why/how that played a bearing in anything, many people live with Parkinson's.
Nobody gains anything by committing suicide so i have to assume that for some reason(s) perhaps including but probably not limited to physical illness, life has become unbearable for them. I keep thinking til we walk a mile in their shoes we will never understand and we should count ourselves lucky if we have not faced things that drove us to abandon all we have including our very lives.
