    It's amazing. Both of these men were an inspiration to so many people. And when Chris needed him most, Robin was his Superman 😊

    You know, just when you think you're having a crappy day... look at what he went through, and how he endured. Not to belittle others' troubles, we all have them - but this is something on a much greater scale than most of us will, hopefully, ever have to live with. He was, is, and will always be a great hero of mine.

    I recently just saw Super/Man: Christopher Reeve story at Sundance, and it really dived in to the relationship between Robin Williams and Christopher. Glenn Close tragically said in the documentary, “If Christopher Reeve were still alive today, so would Robin.” 😢

    "Anyone who says that life is not worth living is totally wrong, totally wrong." Too bad Robin didn't remember Christopher Reeve's advice, who by most people's standards, after his accident, did not have a life worth living. RIP old friends.

      You have no idea the effect that a debilitating disease has on the mind. The Robin that killed himself was not the Robin that we knew and loved. He had so much weight on his mind that he was a different person. That's who killed him.

      Nostalgia - Robin was in the throes of Lewy Body Dementia that was slowly destroying his brilliant mind. He was also on medications that may have, unfortunately, magnified the irrational thoughts of his dementia because the diagnosis was not made until his death.

      @@pink_alligator so incredibly sad. I believe that Robin was indeed suffering and, in addition, he just couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel. I think he was also afraid of what would happen when his loved ones would have to deal with him in the truly bad times that would have surely been there if he'd lived. Plus, the fact that he spent so much of his life and career making people laugh. I don't think he knew what to do with himself. It's just heartbreaking.😭
