I've been through so much and once in a while I ask myself if all of the pain is really worth it. On 12/3/2012 the biggest and most painful situation hit me. My 23 yr old son Took his own life after a few months of living in Colorado. We are from Rochester NY. I couldn't deal with my own feelings and felt I needed to be there for his sisters. I have 3 grandchildren to also be there for then also. When it finally hit me I just lost it. I am 47 now and still cannot go a day without crying. Linkin Park's music was and still is my go to music when I need to let it out what I've been through since my childhood. I loved Chester's voice. It made me feel I could get through it someday. RIP Chester!! I will never forget him. Talinda You are an angel.
I am around your age with no children. Part of the reason I have never had children is i can not grasp the concept of losing a child. I can not imagine your pain. I recently lost my mom to super ugly brain cancer and cared for her in home hospice (brutal). Buddhists say life is suffering and by aknowledging this the suffering becomes less. I guess what I am saying is life is brutal and NOBODY gets through it without pain. Your particular situation is one of the worst I can imagine but understand you are not alone and unfortunately these types of things are pretty much universal. I dont know you and I dont want to make less of your situation. These things ALWAYS seem UNREAL and we are never ready for them. But i think it can be helpful to understand that nobody besides some nut bars who only care about themselves get through this trip easy. Rich or Poor if you have the capacity for love you will go through trials, pain and suffering. My best wishes to you, i am sorry for your loss and pain, just know you are not alone in that virtually every person who makes it to our age has or will experience tremendous loss. You are not singled out and therefore not alone. Your pain is proof of your capacity for love.
The entire of LP Family is very proud of you, Talinda. Chester is smiling from above to see how incredible impact that you give for all of us..Talinda, i am in awe of your strength and caring. I love you.
This woman is amazing. I am a huge LP fan since the hybrid theory days. I personally have depression and am so glad to see her thrive in such an amazing way. Truly amazing!!! 😢 Super proud of u Talinda B. #fuckdepression!!!! You have already made Chester proud!
Nikki, Talinda is a beacon of light in herself, through her own heartache and grief for her beloved soulmate/husband and having strength & love to steer her beautiful children in their healing....she is just an Angel, with the most beautiful Heart, I think the whole LP Family and the World are so in awe of her, so very proud of her and what she is doing to help so many people who are suffering with depression, I have had it all my life, I'm nearly 53 and it's hard, and , yes Nikki, as you said, it is not always continuous it can come in 'bursts' , stages, it's like a silk black veil suddenly gently covering you. We need this talked about and people's testimonies. Talinda is so very strong, I pray for Gods blessing to keep her and her Children safe and strong and to comfort her when she needs it. She has only to 'Tweet' and an army of family who love & care for her will be there, instantly. God bless you Talinda, sending you a huge Hug x. Sonia from UK'. Thank you Nikki for having Talinda as your guest. I hope she will have more opportunities to talk to the public like this, to really bring awareness of just how shattering depression can be.

Geangulo A. I think it’s meant to get somebody through the day/night. And sometimes that’s enough, but most of the time people need more personal support and professional help.
I have depression, some days are bad or some days are ok. It's a battle
_Ma'am, you can get help from a therapist or doctor.. it really helps_

I still cry about him, probably more often that I should. I just can't believe he's actually gone.
She’s an inspiration. And she’s living out Chester’s legacy of being open and giving a shit about people.
Amen.
I have depression & other mental health problems I just take it one day at time
_Ma'am, you can get help from a therapist or doctor.. it really helps_
Big hugs for Talinda! She's my hero! She will always be a role model to me! She inspires me a lot! #FuckDepression #MakeChesterProud #LPFamily

"My old boss Hef died from depression too days ago two. #feck dipresshun
"HH taught gals how to reach their full potential & taught guys how to read."
amazing woman :)
I dont' think that hotiline for suicidal prevention does much help, if anything is more of a band-aid
