Not gonna lie, this hit me hard, really hard. I had a smile on my face every single time he was on camera. You could tell he just made others happy to be around him, helped elevate their spirits. RIP Boss. You’ll be sorely missed. Deepest condolences to your beautiful family. ❤️
I am SO beyond shocked and heartbroken😢I feel like I knew Twitch personally and his love of dance, music and his lightning bright smile will never be matched! I am sending prayers to his wife and sweet children and please believe your beloved husband and father made this world a more beautiful and bearable place❤
and this is someone who had the resources to get help. many don't, but it goes to show that you can't fix people. everyone is responsible for themselves. now he'll have to deal with the wreckage he's left behind...and the toll on his children.
@@michellegordon4211 if him going to a hotel and offing himself wasnt enough information for you... Then I dont know what to say. He didnt want help. He did what he wanted to do. No one even knew he was struggling not even his wife...
Reading this news yesterday morning physically took my breath away and I shouted NO! My heart grieves at the loss of this beautiful bright light of a man. Grieves for Allison and the kids. I've struggled with sadness and depression most brought on by serious life challenges. Life can be so hard, so incredibly tough. 1 day at a time folks. ❤️
I had suffered from deep depression for over 50 years and no one knew because I was able to keep a smile on my face and make sure everyone around me was ok & happy and anything I could do for anyone so they wouldn't experience what I was experiencing that was my drive, it was since I cannot be happy at least let me do all I can to make others happy and literally would pray for God to take me out of this crazy world, what saved me and brought me out was the grace of God I went after him with everything in me until one day all the darkness just vanish to no more to return as dark as it can get it can be bright, MY HEART AND SOUL GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY AND ALL THAT ARE DEALING WITH THIS, BUT THERE IS HOPE AND DELIVERANCE I AM A LIVING WITNESS
It’s nice to hear that you were able to overcome your battle with depression💕I can relate to your experience because depression is hard to deal with!!!
The way you explained how you felt for so long is how I feel now. My mom passed in 1992 when I was 16 and I had to take on her responsibilities and help raise my brother, cook , clean, shop just everything. I can’t believe I made it this far. I ask god every day to make it through.
I struggle with depression and anxiety disorder, and it's hard to wake everyday and just face my day. I would smile but I'm fighting to be happy, because I'm not happy. Let's be nice to everyone, because we don't know what that person is dealing with. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes everyone!❤
I’ve been emotionally challenged for most of my 62 years. I have to fight it away every moment of everyday. I use my happy face to everyone so they don’t know I’m falling apart. I’ve been at the brink of doing it, but my love for what my family would feel keeps me here and I’m blessed to have that saving Grace. I’ve given my life to God under no religion and strive to live my life for Him no matter how low I am. That’s why I’m still here. Twitches death hit me real hard today and I find myself here letting people know that this world needs love and kindness and understanding of those with mental health issues. There not enough drs and therapist for us out there. Please be kind because you never know who love your kind words might save from death
Hi Lisa!! My 40 yr career was in mental health where my eventual focus were men who ended up on the psych ward. It is known fact that women will seek help before men. As a sad rule, men will live with there torturous thoughts to the point where they see only one way out. Some thoughts have them fearing they will hurt someone else so they end those thoughts by taking there own lives. I’m no psychiatrist but I’d venture to guess he was suffering from what is called rapid cycling also known as racing thoughts where the torment is endless. I’ve seen countless men and yes, women too, grab there heads and plead for “it” to stop, crying uncontrollably. I would hold there hands and assure them, it will go away once the meds kick in and forcibly reiterate that once he feels human again, STAY ON YOUR MEDS. Men are more apt to stop there meds once they feel Whole again and when they plummet to there dark place, we’ll see them back on the ward or worse. Don’t get me wrong, women are not immune but will seek help before men on a scale of %80. The stigma attached to mental illness prompts men to suffer in silence. Everyone of us is susceptible to mental illness at any given time in our lives. Pertaining to men, the torment in there thoughts are debilitating to the point of desperation. I hope you can seek help to live a fulfilling life. I’m a 65 yr old women who lives in a family of 12 where mental illness is rampant in my family from my siblings to nieces and nephews and yes great nieces and nephews. Mental illness is factually hereditary, which is why I chose my career as a psychiatric nurse. My career was very rewarding despite the several losses that were heartbreaking. I don’t know about the availability of mental health care for yourself, but I strongly recommend you seek out the help you need. I’m Canadian, living in Western Canada. Mental Health Care is prioritized here. Stay Safe and Godspeed!!
@@shirleyjcoombs2066 thank you so much for your reply. I do suffer from racing thoughts as well. I need to have constant distraction to stop the thoughts and the replaying of nightmares. I’m under great mental health care, will always take my meds and have a good understanding of the illness but it is very difficult and have been at the brink before. My faith in God is what keeps me on my meds and doing all I can to stay safe from listening to the thoughts. I pray peace and happiness for you and your family. Have a nice holiday season
I’m glad to read you have an awareness of the negativity being the illness and not reality, and that you seem to realize suicide is a *permanent* solution for a *temporary* problem. I have a paperback workbook called “Feeling Good” that uses written exercises to address negative thoughts, which I refer back to often. But the best non-pharmaceutical solution is a 45-60 minute walk through nature/outdoors every day. Humans weren’t meant to spend all day every day with our devices & tv’s! God Bless you on your journey. I’m sure your words have helped someone today Lisa 🙂
Heartbreaking, my family has experienced this type of loss as well in the recent past. We had no idea our loved one was suffering to the extent that resulted in taking their own life. My heart goes out to his family.
@@adarllkelly3536 Very true, huge problem with the system. Needs to be stopped so black men don't take their lives, being made to feel hopeless and wrong for who they are. Terrible.
This is a heartbreaker....his kids,how can you tell them?...a person with such charisma,energy and love,a joy to anyone that he crossed paths with...a loss for words with this,so young😢
It is heartbreaking and shocking but you really never know the demons people are fighting. In a split second those demons have so much control over a person's life so much so that it can alter a person's life including their families. Mental health is REAL and we as society and a country need to make it a priority.
Demons only have control of you if God himself not involved I have mental things go on with me its a mind thing and learning how to control your thoughts. That's why it's important to know your higher self if you don't something else on a spiritual realm will take over and result most likely in suicide which is very sad.
If you can accept those demons are in your life and you get help for it, those demons will no longer have control. You will live a life overcome with sudden saddness for no reason, anger or rage, sudden crying jags and you have no idea why. Everything is skewed to a degree. When you finally get help it changes immediately. You no longer view life the same way. You feel for the first time in your life normal. Like what others feel like. and when it gets tough you see a therapist to work it out. You come to realize how precious life is. and you fight for it.
Sad is the only words I have right now. Sad to know that he was struggling and didn’t feel like he could help or talk to someone. Sad for his wife and children.
@@malayaanderson8222 Taking one's own life is for cowards, period. No matter the cause of someone's darkness, there is no excuse for thinking you can end your pain by dumping all that pain, doubts and confusion on those you leave behind.
The last celebrity death to hit me this hard was Robin Williams. To bring so much joy to others while battling pain alone is unimaginably tragic. If anyone out there feels alone and backed in a corner, there are people in this world that do care! Even strangers ❤ Please don’t give up hope.
I immediately thought of Robin Williams 1st thing I heard the news 🗞️ It’s like WTF 🤬 They both appeared so happy all the time! Apparently these 2 men cared more about other people then themselves! Super heroes in my opinion, I just wish they could have understood the joy they brought to the world! My heart brakes for his family!
Carson’s comment “everyone is propping up the best parts of themselves and that’s taking away from real conversation” So true. We all really thought he was THAT happy all the time 😢
Thank you for your insightful words at the end Carson. We can’t forget to bring awareness of the reality of mental health to the situation and you did it with real facts and care.
He was such a beautiful soul and had so much talent. He just radiated light! I truly hope his wife and children have a strong, committed support system. My thoughts are with them.❤️
I truly am shocked by this loss. He was such a joy to watch and now his wife and kids...To lose their dad..like this!! Prayers for comfort for all his family and friends and fans.
I can’t stop crying I don’t understand how this could have happened. Iam shocked with the rest of the world . This is behind heartbreaking. May he rest in peace May Allison and the kids find strength to carry on and May god protect them on these extremely difficult times.
Oh my gosh, what a beautiful spirit. So sorry for his wife, children & loved ones 💔. Carson's words are so true! Societally we have to STOP pretending everything is ok!
He will be so missed. We never know what is going on with people. He must of been suffering greatly, but obviously hid it well. My condolences to his wife and children who will miss him beyond words 😢
This is so heartbreaking and it hits so close to home for me because my daughter’s father took his own life 3 months ago and it has devastated all who knew and loved him. We had no idea that he was in such pain and since he and I were no longer together and remarried I didn’t see him everyday to even know that he was in such a deep dark place in his life. He just celebrated his 40th birthday a month before his passing and also celebrated the birth of his son who was 3 months at the time. My daughter is 11 years old so she is having a very difficult time with the loss of her father. This type of tragedy really does effect everyone in that person’s life and I hope that anyone who is going through deep depression or any other type of mental disorder can find the strength and courage or motivation to reach out to anyone for help. I have dealt with ongoing severe depression, anxiety and insomnia since I was 12 and I’m 46 years old now so I can relate and empathize entirely with the pain and suffering that depression causes. I was able to reach out to my family to help me get the help that I so desperately needed and I thank God every day for my life and for the chance to help others. My they rest in peace.
Deepest respect and heartfelt condolences on what you're enduring and on behalf of those who loved him who are affected by his absence. Three months is forever and no time at all. Truly sending you positive energy and Peace in the event it will help to ease anything for you. I'm happy to offer words or help as you'd like. Bless you and may all that you need always be at the ready.
He brought us so much joy. His love of dance. That's all I keep thinking. Seeing him with Allison and his children was pure love and joy. Genuine. It's the moments alone, I suppose, when he was not dancing.......... God Bless Stephen and his dear family and surround them in His Love.
I was shocked! I still remember watching him on So You Think You Can Dance from his audition to the finale and rooting for him the whole time. Seeing him succeed after the show was amazing! I'm so sad to hear about his passing 😢
All my prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends. He was a ray of sunshine to me no matter what he was doing. You will always be missed and loved
We lost our love ones once again. He's a real good man with a room full of joy. May you rest in peace Big "tWitch" Boss. I know this is so heartbroken that we will never use to see him dance again. My hearts goes out to his beloved family and their kids. This was a huge loss for all of us and dancing community.
Safe Journey ❤️, At least you tried to bring comfort and joy to the world 🌎 It's the people like you that can change people, and their hate...good rewards ARE WAITING FOR YOU MY FRIEND!!!
My heart is shattered into a million pieces. Such a huge loss...I will miss watching his videos with his wife and children. He brought such a positive light into my life. I pray for healing for his family and friends 🙏 RIP Twitch 🥺🙏
I am praying for his family, what really brought this action on to this beautiful light. I have sons and two have passed, what brought this on, really need to pray for our men as a whole.
Thank you Carson for speaking up about mental health and how people suffer in silence for years. Your comment will encourage people to seek help and will save lives. Thank you. God Bless You. Twitch, you are loved. Aloha Oe~until we meet again.💔
I haven’t been able to sleep since hearing this news. I feel like his soul was struggling so much. The poor darling. He was the light. Please people know you’re meant to be here on earth.
So saddened by this. I have experienced this form of loss. The pain goes deep. It cuts to the core and leaves you wondering, what did I miss? what more could I have done? 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 for his family.
He had a beautiful smile. But I guess we never thought there was so much pain behind that smile. When he was with Allison, you could see the love he had for her. We was a devoted family man. My heart and prayers go out to his family.
I can't believe it. I loved him. I was so inspired by him. He was amazing; an amazing person. I'm shocked and don't want to accept this. Mental health? What? He was so...he was doing so well. We just never know. Twitch! Please. Noooo. My heart breaks. I wish I could have done something. We all thought you were well. Sending love to your family. Sending love to the heavens to you. Loved you Twitch and will always think of you.
Sincere and heartfelt sympathy to family, friend and fans. I saw him several times on Ellen and he lit up the room when he entered. He was such a talent, he had a twinkle in his eyes and a smile that lit up the room when his family appeared on the show. Whatever his demons were - I hope GOD rest his SOUL and the angels lead him HOME.
I have depression for over 30 plus years. There are times I wanted to give up I reached out to anyone who would listen. I get told you seem so happy I never would of know you were suffering so. I always hid my true feelings. Most do. Please get the help you need do not be ashamed. That’s the first huge step you can do it. Prayers for the family they are changed forever
I always felt better just watching him, such an uplifting man. What a shame he was in that much pain, that he felt he no other choice but to take his own life. R.I.P.
It is unnecessarily presumptive to assume his thoughts. If anyone knew the people who are most affected by his corporeal absence wouldn't be in for a likely lifetime of wondering why. Please think.
Some people feel like that they can't reach out because every time that they do Reach Out they get criticized and put down and get told there's nothing wrong with you it's all in your head. May he rest in peace he's free now he's no longer in pain. 🥺
You described my mom to a T. Thankfully, I'm not suffering with depression at the moment but when I was, she said everything that you should not tell a depressed person, like: - Just be happy. - You have no reason to be depressed - Why are you doing this to me? I'm just trying to enjoy my day and here you cone with your depression. - Go exercise and watch TV - You need to go to church.
@@moonsyoungestsun6550 I too suffer with mental illness and have been put down by family and made fun of because of it. I suffer in silence because now I'm scared to let my feelings put because I don't want to hearths bull crap that comes with it.
I feel the same way I did when Paul Walker died. In shock, I don't understand what happened, the brain refuses to accept it. But the circumstances are different and that's why it's more shocking for me and for everyone else. Rest in peace, you were loved.💔
No one knew. If you are the "light" for people, but can never let your pain go, know that I love you. Know that you are important and special. This is so tragic, no one knew he was in pain. I feel sorry for his family. So sorry.
I am so shocked. What a loss to this world when the love he gave is still so needed. I am sure he is in a better place and out of the pain that took him from us. Rest in peace Twitch. Deepest condolences to Allison and the children,
I couldn't even watch the news last night I found out from a Facebook post and my mom. Couldn't believe it we couldn't watch the news coverage. Heart breaking I first learned about him on "So you think you can dance" back in 2013 or 2014. Twitch will go on to be a dance legend. His gorgeous wife Alison sending deepest condolences to her and their children. I have lost a couple of people in 2012 and 2019 to A similar situation and the loss is still memorable and still felt by many of us. Just one thing when someone says "Are you ok? How are you ask them how they're really doing privately". There's a lot of things happening behind the scenes we don't realize. Asking for help can change lives.
Sure will bring missed 😔 sorry he won't be here to see him smiling. This is a very sad day. Such a wonderful person, who always made people happy. Rest in peace my brother 🙏 😔
I'm wondering if anyone close to him knew something was going on. It's hard to believe that no one knew a thing about something bothering him. But, maybe not. That's what makes it so shocking. His family must be beyond shattered.
I love Twich...he was such a nice funny and warmth person. I am so sad to hear about his passing. God bless his wife and children and Twich.... may you find peace in God's embrace
I'm still shocked by this just because you see someone smiling & happy on the outside doesn't always match the inside. We all need to come together and focus on mental health! Make it easier to get access to treatment, and do anything we can to make it easier for people who are affected to speak out. We love you Twitch and will forever be missed! My thoughts & prayers go out to Allison and their kids during this difficult time! 🙏
I feel like people who are able to hide their emotions on the inside and showing an happy face on the outside seem to be at risk because when people see them, they see the outside which is happy so they think everything is fine with the person. For me, I don't have this ability which is good because if I am not feeling good it will show on the outside that something is going on
The problem is that the suicidal spiral causes a person to not have a desire to reach out for services (at that time) no matter how accessible the services may be. When a person is in that spiral, they also want to isolate and mostly won't reach out. The veil and distortion of suicidal thoughts warps sense of self and the ability to know how to reach out. That's one of the massive conundrums. Too many people think that the suicide hotline being posted, and offers for help will help suicidal people, it generally doesn't. It's like putting a plateful of food in front of a person who's starving, but has their hands tied behind their back and a blindfold on. It's there, but they can't see a way to access it. Suicide is ultimate self abandonment. It is when one can't sit with, hold space for, their pain. So they betray themselves by ending it. The distortion of the mind is that extreme that the myopic problem solving is one "solution". It's a catch 22. A suicidal mind needs support and help, but a suicidal mind goes the route of isolation and ultimate separation from self and all humanity. The potential solutions are much more complex and varied.
I agree this one is really hard to understand… nothing about it makes sense. Whatever he was going through privately that drove him to this I hope he’s found his peace! ❤
This made me so sad when I heard this yesterday 😢!! God bless Allison and the Beautiful Children!! You are all in my prayers 🙏. Twitch you will always be missed ❤️ 😢
I lost my dad to suicide when I was 5. I didn't find out until I was 15 how my dad really died. My heart goes out to his wife and his children. They are also going to need alot of love and when I say love I mean cuddles and that space to express their emotions. I also want to express my thoughts to twitch what he was going through. Those last moments. I am begging for people to talk about this subject because it happens. I went through very dark times losing my dad and it makes me ache that the world has lost another gentle soul. Talk about this please because this is happening too much. Whoever is feeling low. You are loved and wanted.
Not gonna lie, this hit me hard, really hard. I had a smile on my face every single time he was on camera. You could tell he just made others happy to be around him, helped elevate their spirits. RIP Boss. You’ll be sorely missed. Deepest condolences to your beautiful family. ❤️

Whole news cast could cry, he was such an electric dude. So sad. Twitch touched people he didnt even know he touched.
His own heart was broken way before everyone else’s. No one wins here. It’s all just horrific.

You no longer view life the same way.
You feel for the first time in your life normal. Like what others feel like. and when it gets tough you see a therapist to work it out. You come to realize how precious life is. and you fight for it.
@@dianelake7802 Amen 💧💧🦋🙏🏽
Yes.
You know you can't help people who don't want to be helped right?
Sad is the only words I have right now. Sad to know that he was struggling and didn’t feel like he could help or talk to someone. Sad for his wife and children.
So sad!
@maurice. It's not selfish because people that take their own life have an ILLNESS...it's called depression. Look it up, it's beyond one's control
@maurice. you must have never suffered from anxiety or depression
@maurice. it’s not selfish, at least unlike some other selfish parents he only took himself, not his kids.
@@malayaanderson8222 Taking one's own life is for cowards, period. No matter the cause of someone's darkness, there is no excuse for thinking you can end your pain by dumping all that pain, doubts and confusion on those you leave behind.
The last celebrity death to hit me this hard was Robin Williams. To bring so much joy to others while battling pain alone is unimaginably tragic. If anyone out there feels alone and backed in a corner, there are people in this world that do care! Even strangers ❤ Please don’t give up hope.
Thank you kadygirlforever. ❤️
💔❤🩹
I thought of Robin Williams almost immediately after hearing of his passing. I could not look at Robin Williams and not smile or laugh.
I immediately thought of Robin Williams 1st thing I heard the news 🗞️ It’s like WTF 🤬 They both appeared so happy all the time! Apparently these 2 men cared more about other people then themselves! Super heroes in my opinion, I just wish they could have understood the joy they brought to the world! My heart brakes for his family!
Carson’s comment “everyone is propping up the best parts of themselves and that’s taking away from real conversation”
So true. We all really thought he was THAT happy all the time 😢
He really seemed like he was feeling it in his expressions. I respect him so much for what he said and the heart with which he said it.
All of them got teary eyes 😢 how one life can impact so many is one of the amazing things in this life. He will be remembered for years to come.
Thank you for your insightful words at the end Carson. We can’t forget to bring awareness of the reality of mental health to the situation and you did it with real facts and care.
He was such a beautiful soul and had so much talent. He just radiated light! I truly hope his wife and children have a strong, committed support system. My thoughts are with them.❤️
He was the SHOW period. RIP 🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻
I truly am shocked by this loss. He was such a joy to watch and now his wife and kids...To lose their dad..like this!! Prayers for comfort for all his family and friends and fans.
I can’t stop crying
I don’t understand how this could have happened.
Iam shocked with the rest of the world .
This is behind heartbreaking.
May he rest in peace
May Allison and the kids find strength to carry on and May god protect them on these extremely difficult times.
Oh my gosh, what a beautiful spirit. So sorry for his wife, children & loved ones 💔. Carson's words are so true! Societally we have to STOP pretending everything is ok!
Though we cannot save the whole world, it’s truly a reminder to ask your loved ones how they are & mean it. ❤
And mean it. 👆
That smile and sparkles in his eyes! Beautiful soul!
Thank you for the beautiful tribute to Twitch. My heart is broken 😊for the loss of him, send my prayers to his family and friends. ❤😊
Always be kind. You never ever know what someone is going through
Still in shock. Watching all his dance videos. You are loved, and will be missed. Prayers to your family.
Thank you Carson so well said. I think everyone is crying.
It is so amazing how you can miss someone you never knew and yet my heart is breaking for the lost of this beautiful soul
I hope he has found peace 🌹
Seen a few people express feeling this way. I think it speaks to the power of resonance. Beautiful.
I like this guy! He is one of the coolest,we will miss him.
I don't believe he took his life. His life was taken ......
He will be so missed. We never know what is going on with people. He must of been suffering greatly, but obviously hid it well. My condolences to his wife and children who will miss him beyond words 😢
My heart brakes for his wife and children. I can’t even express my sadness for them…
This is so heartbreaking and it hits so close to home for me because my daughter’s father took his own life 3 months ago and it has devastated all who knew and loved him. We had no idea that he was in such pain and since he and I were no longer together and remarried I didn’t see him everyday to even know that he was in such a deep dark place in his life. He just celebrated his 40th birthday a month before his passing and also celebrated the birth of his son who was 3 months at the time. My daughter is 11 years old so she is having a very difficult time with the loss of her father. This type of tragedy really does effect everyone in that person’s life and I hope that anyone who is going through deep depression or any other type of mental disorder can find the strength and courage or motivation to reach out to anyone for help. I have dealt with ongoing severe depression, anxiety and insomnia since I was 12 and I’m 46 years old now so I can relate and empathize entirely with the pain and suffering that depression causes. I was able to reach out to my family to help me get the help that I so desperately needed and I thank God every day for my life and for the chance to help others. My they rest in peace.
Deepest respect and heartfelt condolences on what you're enduring and on behalf of those who loved him who are affected by his absence.
Three months is forever and no time at all.
Truly sending you positive energy and Peace in the event it will help to ease anything for you. I'm happy to offer words or help as you'd like.
Bless you and may all that you need always be at the ready.
He brought us so much joy. His love of dance. That's all I keep thinking. Seeing him with Allison and his children was pure love and joy. Genuine.
It's the moments alone, I suppose, when he was not dancing..........
God Bless Stephen and his dear family and surround them in
His Love.
I was shocked! I still remember watching him on So You Think You Can Dance from his audition to the finale and rooting for him the whole time. Seeing him succeed after the show was amazing! I'm so sad to hear about his passing 😢
Beyond heart breaking..praying for his family and friends at this difficult time
All my prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends. He was a ray of sunshine to me no matter what he was doing. You will always be missed and loved
No words😔
We lost our love ones once again. He's a real good man with a room full of joy. May you rest in peace Big "tWitch" Boss.
I know this is so heartbroken that we will never use to see him dance again. My hearts goes out to his beloved family and their kids. This was a huge loss for all of us and dancing community.
Wow !! How could he leave behind that beautiful family... poor man I wish he got the help he needed. So so sad. RIP
I lost my husband to suicide in July. I praying for his wife and kids.🙏🏾
Condolences 💐
Really sorry
I’m sorry for your loss 💧🙏🏽🦋
So sorry!!!😞
I am for real loss for words. Condolences to you. I am sorry that you had to thru this heartache. 😭
Safe Journey ❤️,
At least you tried to bring comfort and joy to the world 🌎 It's the people like you that can change people, and their hate...good rewards ARE WAITING FOR YOU MY FRIEND!!!
My heart is shattered into a million pieces. Such a huge loss...I will miss watching his videos with his wife and children. He brought such a positive light into my life. I pray for healing for his family and friends 🙏 RIP Twitch 🥺🙏
I am praying for his family, what really brought this action on to this beautiful light. I have sons and two have passed, what brought this on, really need to pray for our men as a whole.
Thank you Carson for speaking up about mental health and how people suffer in silence for years. Your comment will encourage people to seek help and will save lives. Thank you. God Bless You. Twitch, you are loved. Aloha Oe~until we meet again.💔
Beautiful sentiment
I haven’t been able to sleep since hearing this news. I feel like his soul was struggling so much. The poor darling. He was the light. Please people know you’re meant to be here on earth.
So saddened by this. I have experienced this form of loss. The pain goes deep. It cuts to the core and leaves you wondering, what did I miss? what more could I have done? 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 for his family.
He had a beautiful smile. But I guess we never thought there was so much pain behind that smile. When he was with Allison, you could see the love he had for her. We was a devoted family man. My heart and prayers go out to his family.
I’m so sorry. Sending his family love and peace ❤
So sad. He was an amazingly talented man. You never know what someone is going through. Prayers for comfort for his family, friends and fans.
God Bless him.
Always check in day by day with your love ones and friends to ask them how they are really doing. Sometimes a smile face can be a frown upside down.
I can't believe it. I loved him. I was so inspired by him. He was amazing; an amazing person. I'm shocked and don't want to accept this. Mental health? What? He was so...he was doing so well. We just never know. Twitch! Please. Noooo. My heart breaks. I wish I could have done something. We all thought you were well. Sending love to your family. Sending love to the heavens to you. Loved you Twitch and will always think of you.
123benny4: Don’t lose that inspiration! Use it to honor tWitch’s memory and show appreciation for the lives he inspired.
@@roselipton2113 I believe he did. Yes.
We all loved him.He was FUNNY TOO.
Sincere and heartfelt sympathy to family, friend and fans. I saw him several times on Ellen and he lit up the room when he entered. He was such a talent, he had a twinkle in his eyes and a smile that lit up the room when his family appeared on the show. Whatever his demons were - I hope GOD rest his SOUL and the angels lead him HOME.
I have depression for over 30 plus years. There are times I wanted to give up I reached out to anyone who would listen. I get told you seem so happy I never would of know you were
suffering so. I always hid my true feelings. Most do. Please get the help you need do not be ashamed. That’s the first huge step you can do it. Prayers for the family they are changed forever
I always felt better just watching him, such an uplifting man. What a shame he was in that much pain, that he felt he no other choice but to take his own life. R.I.P.
It is unnecessarily presumptive to assume his thoughts. If anyone knew the people who are most affected by his corporeal absence wouldn't be in for a likely lifetime of wondering why.
Please think.
Some people feel like that they can't reach out because every time that they do Reach Out they get criticized and put down and get told there's nothing wrong with you it's all in your head.
May he rest in peace he's free now he's no longer in pain. 🥺
You described my mom to a T. Thankfully, I'm not suffering with depression at the moment but when I was, she said everything that you should not tell a depressed person, like:
- Just be happy.
- You have no reason to be depressed
- Why are you doing this to me? I'm just trying to enjoy my day and here you cone with your depression.
- Go exercise and watch TV
- You need to go to church.
👏👏👏👏
Louder!!!!!
@Princess Serenity
I 💯% stand with you on this.
@@moonsyoungestsun6550 I too suffer with mental illness and have been put down by family and made fun of because of it. I suffer in silence because now I'm scared to let my feelings put because I don't want to hearths bull crap that comes with it.
He was so awesome. Condolences to his family and friends.
I was so so sad to hear this! What a great guy, just loved him. I am so sorry for his family, especially right during the holidays. Just unbelievable!
Heartbroken. I know this pain of this kind of loss. I’m so sorry you were feeling this way. Love to your family.
🤍🫂🕊
I can't stop seeing him....can't believe he's not here anymore.😟😢
You see him, his bright an amazing smile and energy.. You just never know who will take their own life.. So very sad...
I love him so much and I miss him❤❤
RIP to shining light in everyone’s lives that witnessed, connected and loved him. ❤ I hope Allison and their children can mourn peacefully
You never know what someone is going through
The world is just a little darker today. ILL BE LOOKING UP LOOKING FOR YOUR BRIGHT LIGHT. REST IN PEACE MY KING. MT HEARTFELT LOVE TO ALL FROM NYC
It makes me feel so sad a precious soul. Always looking so happy and smiling all the time I wish he had reached out to someone..
I feel the same way I did when Paul Walker died. In shock, I don't understand what happened, the brain refuses to accept it. But the circumstances are different and that's why it's more shocking for me and for everyone else. Rest in peace, you were loved.💔
No one knew. If you are the "light" for people, but can never let your pain go, know that I love you. Know that you are important and special. This is so tragic, no one knew he was in pain. I feel sorry for his family. So sorry.
I am so shocked. What a loss to this world when the love he gave is still so needed. I am sure he is in a better place and out of the pain that took him from us. Rest in peace Twitch. Deepest condolences to Allison and the children,
I couldn't even watch the news last night I found out from a Facebook post and my mom. Couldn't believe it we couldn't watch the news coverage. Heart breaking I first learned about him on "So you think you can dance" back in 2013 or 2014. Twitch will go on to be a dance legend. His gorgeous wife Alison sending deepest condolences to her and their children. I have lost a couple of people in 2012 and 2019 to A similar situation and the loss is still memorable and still felt by many of us. Just one thing when someone says "Are you ok? How are you ask them how they're really doing privately". There's a lot of things happening behind the scenes we don't realize. Asking for help can change lives.
This is a beautiful man and the world is a worse place off without him here. Heartbreaking 💔
So sad what happened to go through this at Christmas!
Omg to his Kids ❤️❤️❤️
Gone too soon, R.I.P.
Sure will bring missed 😔 sorry he won't be here to see him smiling. This is a very sad day.
Such a wonderful person, who always made people happy.
Rest in peace my brother 🙏 😔
I was shocked!!! Seeing this on news!!! He is so nice!!! Kind humble. Am hearbroken!
I'm wondering if anyone close to him knew something was going on. It's hard to believe that no one knew a thing about something bothering him. But, maybe not. That's what makes it so shocking. His family must be beyond shattered.
You never know what another person is going through
This is so sad. My condolences to the family. He was always a joy to watch. Infectious smile!
Rest in peace brother. Thank you for bringing so many people joy and light. 💜
I love Twich...he was such a nice funny and warmth person. I am so sad to hear about his passing. God bless his wife and children and Twich.... may you find peace in God's embrace
This tribute just touched my heart
Kobe death was hard, this is on another level.
RIP Twitch, you were loved by so many.
Totally agree. The last time I felt like I was punched in the gut was when KB died. This one is on another level.
He was always so happy, goes to show that you Never know what someone is truly going through on the inside 🙏😢🙏
I'm still shocked by this just because you see someone smiling & happy on the outside doesn't always match the inside. We all need to come together and focus on mental health! Make it easier to get access to treatment, and do anything we can to make it easier for people who are affected to speak out. We love you Twitch and will forever be missed! My thoughts & prayers go out to Allison and their kids during this difficult time! 🙏
Amen.☁️🎺👼💒🙏🌹
I feel like people who are able to hide their emotions on the inside and showing an happy face on the outside seem to be at risk because when people see them, they see the outside which is happy so they think everything is fine with the person. For me, I don't have this ability which is good because if I am not feeling good it will show on the outside that something is going on
@@fabiolafortun definitely 🙏
@@fabiolafortun Ditto
The problem is that the suicidal spiral causes a person to not have a desire to reach out for services (at that time) no matter how accessible the services may be.
When a person is in that spiral, they also want to isolate and mostly won't reach out. The veil and distortion of suicidal thoughts warps sense of self and the ability to know how to reach out. That's one of the massive conundrums.
Too many people think that the suicide hotline being posted, and offers for help will help suicidal people, it generally doesn't. It's like putting a plateful of food in front of a person who's starving, but has their hands tied behind their back and a blindfold on. It's there, but they can't see a way to access it.
Suicide is ultimate self abandonment. It is when one can't sit with, hold space for, their pain. So they betray themselves by ending it. The distortion of the mind is that extreme that the myopic problem solving is one "solution".
It's a catch 22. A suicidal mind needs support and help, but a suicidal mind goes the route of isolation and ultimate separation from self and all humanity.
The potential solutions are much more complex and varied.
Loved to watch tWitch and Allison dance, Condolences to the family 👪 , just saw the one of him dancing with his mom. Wow he is so amazing. 😍
I agree this one is really hard to understand… nothing about it makes sense. Whatever he was going through privately that drove him to this I hope he’s found his peace! ❤
It took me 35 yrs to ask for help. Today I just feel for his kids and wife, I hope they have plenty of support.
This one is hard to fathom. RIP and prayers to his family.
This made me so sad when I heard this yesterday 😢!! God bless Allison and the Beautiful Children!! You are all in my prayers 🙏. Twitch you will always be missed ❤️ 😢
I lost my dad to suicide when I was 5. I didn't find out until I was 15 how my dad really died. My heart goes out to his wife and his children. They are also going to need alot of love and when I say love I mean cuddles and that space to express their emotions. I also want to express my thoughts to twitch what he was going through. Those last moments. I am begging for people to talk about this subject because it happens. I went through very dark times losing my dad and it makes me ache that the world has lost another gentle soul. Talk about this please because this is happening too much. Whoever is feeling low. You are loved and wanted.
Wow!!! I'm so surprise!! He really had a beautiful smile!! What happend? Why? I don't understand!! Nobody could see this? 🥺🥺❤❤
You never usually whats going on in someone’s mind until its too late.
