Robin Williams, 63, Dies By Suicide, Had Severe Depression

August 12, 2014

Readers, I’m listening to the news as I type, with shock and sadness.

I loved Mrs Doutfire as a teenager. There was a sequel in the works, which I would have loved to see. Very, very sadly, that will not happen now.

Reportedly, Robin Williams had been experiencing severe depression in recent months. Readers, today the world of showbiz has lost a great, lasting and special talent, to severe mental health issues.

The very, very sad death of Robin Williams reminds us of something yet again. Mental health issues, which are recognised disabilities, can strike anyone at any time- no matter how rich, talented or world famous they are.

Many, many people experience these issues daily. If Robin Williams’ very, very sad death raises some awareness of how common these issues are, if Robin Williams’ very, very sad death encourages one fan to seek support for these issues, it will not be in vain.

If Robin Williams’ very, very, sad death saves one life of one depressed fan who seeks support, it will not be in vain.

In tribute, I post the Mrs Doubtfire trailer:

 

 

And the Happy Days theme tune:

And the Jack trailer, because in that he played a boy with a disability:

 

Robin Williams, Sir, you brought so much laughter and fun to the world. I hope your life wasn’t always dark and sad- I hope you got some fun out of your amazing talent and your career.

RIP Sir, and thank you so much for the laughs.
