I Will Miss Robin Williams

PussyCat691. I will miss lots, I thought a great deal about him too. He had to be in extreme pain to cause him to commit suicide. He had to realize that many people loved him and that he was a role model to many. For him to cope with his pain in that way didn't take GUTS. He just gave in, and quit. His many fans would have respected him more if he would asked for help.

Wouldn't you have respected him more if he would have asked for help, instead of taking the cowards way out. That was the first thing he did that didn't make me laugh. Sure it was very sad but Robin, that definitely wasn't funny.

He did ask for help. Or that's my understanding. The help he got just wasn't what he needed perhaps? I don't know. My own life has changed a lot since, to better I must say. Not because of professional help I got, which as I think of it now was a complete scam. No. Because of a hand that found my hand in the darkness and has held it since. Perhaps such a hand was what he was missing, but it's now too late to ask...

Pussycat691, My relationship with Robin Williams was only as an adoring fan through the media. I didn't know, know him as a close friend might. I just "used" him because he could always make me smile. One Time, a group of buddies were sitting around just a shooting the bull and someone in the bull session asked "If you could trade lives with another person, who would it be?" People in the group would name a person that he would most like to be like. For instance Jim liked to drive fast and take risks so he would always name a big Time car racer. Another buddy of mine was built pretty good and would always say the name of a body builder the group had never heard of. Steve was a lady's man and he would always say John Holmes or some other porn star. When it came for me to name the person I most wanted to swap lives with I would always say Robin Williams because I was always the out going, entertainer of the group. I don't say that anymore because I have lost my idol.

When I heard that he had died and I asked how. I didn't want to believe that really wanted to "0ff" himself, I thought it was only an accident,
In a skit or a comic routine that had gone wrong. (Real wrong)

I had never heard that he was anything but the Rock of Gibraltar and that he was very upbeat. I didn't know that he hurting. I feel stupid now when I say "why didn't he"

Early in my career I was a supervisor on a production line that required so many women to be on that line and working. I had quotas I had to meet each day and I expected the line to produce. So when one of my employees would call in saying that they wouldn't be able to come in. I would ask why? I could accept that they had the flu or a illness that would require a doctor visit. When a single mother told me that she wasn't able to come in because of DEPRESSION I would freak out. I used to think that depression wasn't real. Now, I know different. Because of an injury I have been in a wheelchair for 25 years and will be for life. Boy, do I know that depression is a real thing now. I was married with children, had a good, successful career. Now I have nothing. Now I'm just a lump in a wheelchair. I'm not depressed because of the good anti-depression drugs. I try to find activities I can do in my physical condition, now I can smile again.

I now know that depression is real but there is no reason to let your life be consumed by it like Robin Williams did. He was always the type A individual and for him to appear weak and ask for help is something he wouldn't do.

That laughter gift sharing was very strong within him. For awhile in his life he hid behind it. He learned thru his talent and intellect that both were so powerful and could be counted on as a life changing availability. He figured it out and believed he did not have to be brought down by his handicap or by accepting it as a part of him. He would accept that He couldn't keep that handicap in check. And his talent was so brilliant and powerful , he could just accept his handicap for what it was...something he could not put in check. He just lived with a handicap. But as his senior years and changes within us that come was a direction he could not control like he could all those younger years, we'll then it was

....we'll then it was becoming clear to him his life was changing ...desperately . He sensed it , he felt ,he knew it . There was no longer to be an acceptance . He was now going to have to fully live with the the handicap that brought him to realize that he has just so much time before his life would become so thoroughly living within an aged handicap ... that most likely he would not be aware any further if life as he knew it . He would be completely removed . A walking dead . Once he lived as long as he could with this info and the measures of his daily life...there was no more. He would accept this reversal .... That he would have to be living in a handicap life he couldn't truly put in check this call.

Said it all from the heart! Such a tragedy! i don't think i'll ever be able to watch his movies ever again without sobbing. :(

I will never be able watch them without crying after... Even seeing a little clip of that scence in Patch Adams hurt, though it's my favorite scence in that movie.

Mork n Mindy was actually a TV series,
