You're way off on judging someone who was that depressed. Sure, it hurt a lot of people, but that is unfortunately how it gets you. Depression is an emotional riptide and I feel awful for the people it takes as well as the loved ones left behind.

Thoughtless? Yeah you don’t understand those feelings do you? Good for you I guess.

To take his own life, he must have been in severe mental anguish. It seems to me, she could have relapsed over this past year, as a previous substance abuser. She blamed herself for his death, just so sad. I dont know she used again, but at the Golden Globes, her face was sweating🙁

It is sad her daughters couldn’t tell how much in trouble their mother was in.
For her, only that overt demonstrated love would have helped her.

She was very public about her grief.
Her daughters are relatively young so it can be overlooked that they weren’t attentive as they might have been.

You’re incredibly ignorant when it comes to mental illness.

From what ik, Ben took his life because he couldn’t bear the burden to be compared to Elvis...that’s not mental illness.@Pinkstarburst

@Wiseacre Anyone who takes their life is struggling mentally with things they cannot get a handle on. This, again, is proof of your ignorance toward mental illness.
AND…unless you were walking in his shoes or living in his mind, you know nothing.
