Robin Williams Dead

[ishii]

Many depressed people laugh to keep from crying, it is a coping mechanism that I use myself.

Just think of the many Jewish Commedians. Mel Brooks for example and the terrible experiances they have had. Hollocost anyone?

That’s a good point. Thanks for your post.

I see it as putting up a barrier to acting on the suicide impulse.

For those with brain diseases the suicidal impulses are very real. That is why there are suicide hotlines.
Are you of the view that funding should be pulled from suicide hotlines or other last hope interventions?

I see all the above as pro life measures.

No. What would make you think that?

My spell check indicates when a word is spelled wrong, but does not give the right spelling.

PS, I had a bad stroke 10 years ago and my intellectual capacity has shrunken a lot during that time. I guess that stroke like clinical depression does not exist for some.

Don’t worry. It is such an important word in history I just wanted to makr sure people know what you are referring to.

Prayers Andrew. I have never had a stroke but I do have another kind of medical condition
I know its not easy and can be very isolating.

May God grant you the grace of love understanding kindness and compassion that our culture cant seem to grasp.

God Bless

Marie, thank you for your prayer.
Yes life is not easy for a person who has both clinical depression and has had a bad stroke.

Obviously, like many others, I found Robin to be a brilliant performer, and as a child, I thought he and Chaplin and Jerry Lewis were the greatest comedians ever. His movie Popeye was the first one I ever watched, I’m rather sure.

Forgive me for being corny, but in listening to Swee’Pea’s Lullaby, a song from that film, I found myself overcome by emotion. Such a sweet and gentle and brilliant soul, and how sad this has all been.

Watching Popeye cartoons as a child,I remember taking my daughter’s to see the movie.I thought Robin Williams and Shelly Duvall depicted their characters perfectly!
