Kudos to the author for what she did. Depression and su***de need to be talked about -- as difficult as it is. Condolences to their family. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/inspired-life/wp/2016/03/23/i-told-the-truth-in-my-sisters-obituary-so-that-others-might-choose-to-live/?tid=sm_fb

As we all mourn Robin Williams' tragic death and remember the great gifts he shared with us all, let's educate people about mental illness, substance abuse and su***de and their warning signs. Support those who need it. Accept help when it's offered. Depression is nothing to be ashamed of.
