This was very sad indeed......it has to be an unbeleivably and terrible situation when suicide becomes the only solution to ending the suffering. Rest in Peace Funny Man.......

A friend sent these to me, interviews offering insight into RW. I was a huge fan of his work, but the last two days have taught me that I knew relatively little about the man.

A statement issued from his wife.

"Robin's sobriety was intact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety,as well as early stages of Parkinson's Disease, which he was not ready to share publicly.

It is our hope in the wake of Robin's tragic passing, that other's will find the strength to seek the care and support they need to treat whatever battles they are facing so that they may feel less afraid."

Yeah, I saw someone had the name "I Hate Robin Williams" and was steadily talking crap to her about her Dad and saying how happy he was that he was dead. It was just awful to see that only hours after the news broke.

What the hell is wrong with people?!

I don't blame her one bit and am just sorry she had to deal with all that.
