Like Kerri said, he was trying to tell us and we didn't listen.<br /><br />Also thanks for posting those resources. It's tempting to think that they're for people with 'real' problems, not us, but that's not true.

The part that always boggles me is the profound loss.. the void.. that emptiness after the person has gone. Sure, they're gone but what about everyone else they've left behind? I say that, but I totally get it. It's just such a profound feeling that sometimes you feel like you can't shake, and sometimes you don't.<br /><br />If you ask me on a certain day, I'd tell you that I believe that some people aren't meant for this Earth, that they are "too big" for this world. Maybe in another lifetime or on another plane of existence... You know what I'm saying?<br /><br />I'm incredibly sad for his family and friends, but mostly for all of his children. :( I love(d) Linkin Park.. very tragic..<br /><br /><3The Flynniganshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13938230221615097086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-27896751601283004632017-07-25T01:09:38.949+10:002017-07-25T01:09:38.949+10:00I must admit that Linkin Park was never a band on ...I must admit that Linkin Park was never a band on heavy rotation for me, but my heart still grieves for him, his loved ones and many fans. It's so hard to explain how dark life can get for those who have never personally suffered with mental illness. That even when logically we know our thoughts are illogical, we still believe them. We still hurt, physically and mentally. And it's open conversations like this that help someone sitting in the dark, thinking they're alone and contemplating harming themselves, and lets them know they are not alone. There are people who understand and places they can go to for help.Tanya @ A Mindful Migrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662395965850097235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-80984867671714946642017-07-25T00:50:32.176+10:002017-07-25T00:50:32.176+10:00I first learned of the news on Thursday and I imme...I first learned of the news on Thursday and I immediately went to playing my LP playlist. I remember listening to Crawling and In the End back in HS when they first came out and thinking that whoever had written the lyrics must have been through some tough times. To see him struggle for all these years and then tragically end it all....I just cant even think about it right now. Mental illness, depression, suicide, they know no social status. Mental illness does not care if you are rich and famous. Money can't buy happiness. Some of the comments I have seen infuriate me and make this so much more painful.

I discovered Linkin Park when I was in high school and, while I probably couldn't have told you Chester's full name, I knew most of the songs and listened to them on repeat. <br />Internet comments about suicide being a sin and "these rich people who are famous and comfortable that stupidly end their lives" make me cringe. If you've never been in the position where you truly think suicide is the only way out then I think that's wonderful and you should be truly grateful... but it's damn near impossible to explain those feelings of desperation and false hope to someone who's never been there.<br />I'm glad you put those resources out there, Erin! And I'm glad you called them! <3Audrey Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01593561585985740053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-10352850284257557072017-07-24T09:08:21.510+10:002017-07-24T09:08:21.510+10:00Ahh Erin.

Telling the world he was hurting and the world just sang along. Me included. So sad and such a good reminder that rich or poor, famous or not, mental illness is no discriminator.Kay R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17616798594879683219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-2787925532350165902017-07-23T09:34:34.549+10:002017-07-23T09:34:34.549+10:00Beautiful post Erin.

I can't stop listening to their songs even though it feels like I'm picking on a scab over and over again. The most recent album feels like a suicide note. :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762987240307604682noreply@blogger.com
