It used to not affect me as much as it does now. Maybe because this time it was someone who touch my souls during a low time. Seeing him, or hearing him, my heart still aches.

Yes, it did. For example look at Robin Williams, the man who made me laugh since Mork and Mindy. My favorite movie that he was in was "Mrs. Doubtfire", I never knew that he struggled with some sort of mental illness. I do know that some woman condemned him because he committed suicide, most people who don't struggle with mental illness issues don't know what it's like to struggle with those issues. So me being the person who likes to make people laugh and smile even when am crying inside or fighting the demons of the vicious cycles that I go through on a daily basis... can understand how he felt.

Robin Williams definitely touched me....and I feel sad that it came out after his death that he was developing a neurodegenerative illness....

I lived through a bunch of celebrity deaths, some were sad, I do have feelings, but Chester's is still so hard. I know we do not personally know them, but it was like he knew me through their songs. His hard life, though a bit different, was similar to how I felt.

Robin Williams was a great man, it was a sad loss. I too remember him in Mork and Mindy. I will never forget the day I first heard the news.

A lot of times it triggers me. I think k back to the last time I wanted to commit suicide and compare to how I am now. See what's changed and what's the same.
