So much truth in that quote. Not only from a companion but also siblings or co-workers. They just seek you out when in need for something but otherwise you're invisible.
My father just passed away with Lewy Body Dementia. It is a horrid disease. There is no dying peacefully with LBD. He lost himself and his dignity. My heart aches for him but I am thankful that he is finally at peace. He was diagnosed with LBD April 15th and was dead by June 14th. Rest In Peace Daddy and Robin Williams.
I'm so sorry... My husband had some similar (but undiagnosed) form of dementia. It changed him into a selfish, socially impaired, sometimes nasty old man. It's as if you lose your loved one over and over again for years.
@@weirdmatter yea looking at some of his quotes you really get the feeling he was begging for people to notice his pain, most would just see the happy man on the TV screen.
Manic depression is not uncommon with entertainers or any achievers. They have so much they want to express and share, anyway they can. Robin had health issues, besides the mental;/emotional ones. Think of him as a candle burning from both ends. He was a great soul and the way he died has not affected how we see him. It was his choice and we need to respect that.
Two years later and it's still tough to believe he's gone!😥 Just so sad when a person is gifted to bring so much joy to the lives of others, yet don't seem to find that joy for themselves! God bless all who mourn him! I am thankful for all the laughter he left!
She’s a narcissist and sociopath … I’ve seen plenty of psychologist speak about people who fake cry. When tears don’t come out it’s called fake crying.
She, the 3rd wife of Robin williams is a monster!! She prevented him from seeing his children and had Robin Williams locked away in a hospital that no one has access to him. She is a power hungry MONSTER. I feel very bad for Robin and his 3 children.
My father was diagnosed with it but because of his toxic alcoholic behaviour over cut him out of my life. I cut all my family out All toxic, so much healthier now than dealing with them all
My husband died of Lewy Body Dementia on 5/9/16. I do not blame Robin Williams at all for taking his own life. This disease takes over and you literally lose your mind. You forget who your family is. You forget who your children are. You forget who you are. Then suddenly you can't walk. You can't feed yourself. You forget how to use the bathroom. You waste away. Robin took control when he still could. My husband suffered with it for 7yrs and we suffered with him. God bless Robin for not putting his family through it. I love and miss my husband of 21yrs every moment of every day, but in the end after watching the hell he went through, I think Robin did the right thing.
you go girl. I'm really sorry you lost your beau, girl. :-( 21 years is a goodish long time. I commend both of you for a hard won accomplishment! I feel your right, there is just far too long of suffering endured by the family & the afflicted, including that awful, long period after our loved one is 'dead' (no longer there even though their awake) but their body is continuing on with all its chemical processes still fighting to keep the shell alive. I hope you find strength in his memory & wish for you to live life & cherish it for both of you . . .
+O Bi o bi, without sounding 'snotty' or disrespectful to you or your opinion in any, I must ask you, & please answer honestly, I won't lay into you for whatever answer you give, have YOU personally yet cared for a loved one with a really long term, eventually full mental loss & 'not mentally in the present' any longer loved one, such as alzheimer's, LBD like Robin had, or severe ALS, ever? Not to discount the suffering in ANY way those who have, but loosing a family member to cancer doesn't qualify here, because compared to the effed up diseases I mentioned above, the burden is blessedly extremely brief, & doesn't come close to the awful pain & burden of someone dead but the bodies alive for several months to literally years of force or NG tube feeding, adult super poops all over themselves, drooling laughing/crying/screaming/thrashing for hundreds & hundreds of days?
I've battled horrible depression my entire life. I now work as a Physical Therapist with the elderly and have seen the devastating effect of Lewy Body dementia as well as other dementias. Likewise, I would do the same thing Robin did if I were diagnosed with it. I'm 61 now and looks like I inherited the good genes on my mother's side vs. my dad's, which has all the bad stuff of the mind.
Purebredbrute Yep and she robbed his kids of his personal belongings and other things and his money he saved for them. So she’s a real piece of work yikes!
Christopher Miller strange I just read an article stating that the children received a majority of the estate while she was devised only a smaller portion.
@@christophermiller159 I beg to differ. He had Trust funds for each of his three children, and they were well-provided for, in addition to being the prime beneficiaries of his estate. After his passing, his children's representatives, in fact, came to the Tiburon house (which he left to Susan) and cleared it out of whatever they wanted (and were legally entitled to) which comprised all of his belongings, memorabilia, clothing, jewelry, awards etc he owned prior to marrying Susan. She was stunned that this happened (it was, afterall, and still is, her home.) Susan had signed a pre-nup before the marriage, and was left the Tiburon house and all its contents. What a sad situation for everyone, who were heartbroken over this horrible tragedy. So making snarky remarks is not helpful.
"You're only given a little spark of madness, you musn't lose it" - Robin Williams. He was my favourite actor/comedian and will always be my favourite. He is the most kind, caring and especially the most funniest man. I will never forget him. Still to this day I wish he was still here amongst us. I never knew someone I hardly knew at all could have such an impact. He will be missed by everyone. Rip Robin Williams. ❤❤
My father had the same thing and it is living a nightmare 24/7. I am so sorry that this happened to him but I completely understand him taking his own life. Watching my dear father go through this was one of the toughest things I’ve had to witness. It is beyond cruel, with no cure. My condolences.
I cannot imagine her loss. I know how I feel about his absence... and I'm merely someone who enjoyed his performances. It must be an out of this world grief. He was a rare human, so very special xo
So many of his loyal fans, including me, still miss him terribly. I, personally, would like to know just how many more times he would make us laugh, hysterically, with his quick wit and outrageous humor. We were so shocked, when he left us.... It left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled. What a wonderful, wonderful Man!!! So much talent!! So much everything!! RIP, Robin 😪😪💔💔🤟🤟
My dad struggled from the same thing. I took care of him up to the point of his massive heart attack. No one understood the fight my dad put up against the illness. But I watched it first hand and it was one of the most painful and difficult things to live with. God bless those dealing with this huge illness alone.
Towards the end of his “Inside The Actors Studio” interview, Robin said to this lady whom had been laughing hysterically the entire time “You have the best laugh. Damn it’s better than any drug, you just hear that and go wow” That was what Robin LIVED for! To think if he did not have “Lewy Body Dementia” he would be here making the world laugh!! May he rest in paradise 🙏🏽
Susan Williams needs our support. Susan, I am so sorry you have lost your love! You are a prize! Anyone who has lost someone to suicide knows the heartache of "what could I have done differently"...? The truth is you can't do anything differently. In addition there is a certain shame associated with suicide, I can't explain it but those who have endured it know exactly what I am talking about. Our hearts go out to you and all who loved Robin, he was definitely one of my favorites! 🙏🙏🙏
My heart goes out to Suzie. My mother had alzheimers, but it was so much easier to deal with than the LBD that my father has. In my opinion this is way worse because of the hallucinations and delusions that go with it. I compare it to a jigsaw puzzle where someone just takes out random pieces. A lot of the time he makes sense, but on those times that he sees things that aren't there, or thinks I've taken things I haven't are so difficult to deal with. With my mother it was like someone was taking apart the jigsaw row by row until it was gone. What makes it worse is he is profoundly deaf and severely visually impaired, and in his mind there is absolutely nothing wrong with him. He still wants us to leave him at the stores and pick him up later, or let him cook, and he wouldn't believe us if we tried to tell he is no longer capable.
Regardless.......the sun dimmed just a bit when Robin passed. It shows how the public persona can totally hide the chaotic struggle within. Rest easy Robin. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He was brilliant ; a little manic, but it was part of his natural talent. These people burn themselves up, quicker than others who are more subdued. Robin was 100% full speed ahead......but, when he felt it, sliding, he panicked. Evidently he had no comfort around him, to hold him back.
@@linanicolia1363 yeah I find that the truly heartbreaking part. I should've mentioned I was born deaf and was able to get it fixed. I truly loved his movies more,cause I could hear his love in his voice.
As a kid, watching Good Morning Vietnam and later Dead Poets Society.. for some reason my intuition said something like : this is the most humane of humans, humanity has to offer... After reading several comments on different videos about this man, it's so amazing to see i'm probably not alone. Such a sad way of going out for a such an amazing individual. Life never said it was fair, but that one hurts.
So sad, I still remember where I was when I heard the news. I cried like a baby 💔 RIP to the funniest most charismatic and gentle soul ever to grace us with their talents and time on this earth. You are immensely missed 😢
@Mbretërit dhe mbretëreshat I understand what you are saying, but when LITERALLY 98% of the people who commented on this video say that she's FAKE, I think it would be fair to rule out a medical condition. Sometimes people are just not sincere, and we just simply have to call it for what it is.
Thank you for doing this interview. I was a fan of this creative genius from the start. It broke my heart when I heard. He gave me so much joy. I suffer from major depression myself and it is so hard to face the day sometimes. The mind is a powerful thing. Rest in Peace Mr. Williams.
I study psychology and body language. Susan may feel some sort of emotion about her husband's death. That is natural when someone passes away. However, her facial expressions, movements and tone imply a certain amount of dishonesty. Sorry, and no disrespect intended, but this woman is hiding how she really feels and what she truly knows.
honestly it is shocking all these people who act like they "know" , I was very close to my Dad , and when he died suddenly when I was 11 , I never cried ,never showed any emotion ....everyone said I just didn't care, I never loved him..but I couldn't breathe or swallow anymore because my throat was like cement ...I couldn't cry or say his name ever again , because my heart was on fire and dead at the same time...NO ONE knows from looking at the outside what goes on in the inside.
Robin made me fall in love with Comedy and he is one of the reasons why I became a stand up comedian. Regarding his passing, I apologize if I get emotional, but when I knew the news of his death, I remember crying like my mom when she knew my dad passed away at the hospital. Nowadays, sometimes I wish they could have save him, however no one is eternal on this Earth. Therefore, I miss him as much as his own family, and thank you Robin for making everyone's childhood.
Thanks to Susan for speaking out ! I am living with someone who has ALL the symptoms of DLB yet no one in our home will say "Dementia" What it does to those around without education or knowledge, makes everyone crazy !
People in the comments are so stupid. Everyone handles grief differently. When my oldest brother's girlfriend of 5 years died from Cancer, he was the only one in our family that didn't cry. Instead he made insensitive jokes, distanced himself from all family and friends, and then attempted suicide. He's fine now, thankfully. We have no idea what this woman is going through, for all we know she could be keeping it together for the cameras but break down in tears every night. Maybe she's cried so much she cant anymore, or maybe shes just not a crier, and is heartbroken but accepting of the fact that her husband is gone. For some people, moving on with their lives is easier than grieving. Doesn't make them heartless.
+Zee Nooo And the fact that he was going bankrupt, and the reasons why? OH NO, we can't talk about that! This interview is the worst acting performance I've ever seen. I've seen footage of convicted murders do a better job pretending to cry than she did.
This is the exact reason people don’t want interviews , nobody can judge a persons grief by what you see, everyone grieves differently ! People are SO judgmental and make horrible accusations! Rest easy 🙏
Actions speak louder than words...what she did to Robin williams sons fighting for THEIR money says it all of what what she is and what she was in for...no judging needed of her fake crying or preconceived notions or second guessing needed
I see fake hysterics, with no tears, then a split second later she's completely poised. That's what I see. If I saw that from my wife, or anyone else I know, I wouldn't believe what they were saying
I see the comments about his wife as observational. ONE example, she IS "CRYING" with NO TEARS. That isn't grieving "differently" it's called acting and poor acting at that.
Because, twat, she's not actually crying. The next time you feel emotional and it shows in your voice, don't forget to turn on the taps will you or we'll all know you are faking. And even if you do squeeze out a few, we'll still know you're faking. Idiot.
I took care of a man with Lewy body disease. He was the most amazing person. He loved the movies grease and would watch it on repeat! I miss Steve. Robin brought so much joy to me especially as a kid. Mrs. Doubtfire.
I disagree...when one is a public icon one rather BELONGS to the fans and critics ...it is the very nature of BEING a "star" ...LOSING one's privacy is PART of the deal
Doug Chaney I agree with you that famous people lose their privacy but I don't believe it should be part of the deal unless they want it to be ie;. Whatever they choose to reveal in autobiographies and/or interviews. I believe famous people should not be required to let the world know about any part of their lives other than that for which they are famous.
Something is very fishy with this, arguing over the settlement and sleeping in different beds? Have we forgotten that family slays family? I don't know. I get a bad feeling about her, but I could be wrong and that is how she could mourn, but I'm looking at this different now.
Some people have different ways of dealing with sadness. Some people can cry in front of others while some do it in isolation. You cant be mad at her for not doing the former.
Its very easy to make huge sob and from how fast she recovered u know she is faking. Now she not sobbing she only "sob" for 7 seconds.... Disappoint ing
How can someone cry without tears? She sounds like crying but there is not a single teardrop visible, her makeup is perfect. It's impossible if you really cry. And I saw another video that she was reading a book in their bed but she didn't hear Robin's screams, or realize that something must be wrong because her husband went to the bathroom at about 10 p.m but never came out and it was about 11 a.m when they found him. I don't understand how can this be possible. She is acting, it's so obvious.
I sometimes fantasize about humanity being a part of a multiverse. And life as we know it is simply one parallel universe out of an infinite amount of universes. And in our universe, all of us have been lucky enough to get to experience Robin Williams' spirit and brilliance. It makes me so grateful to have been a part of it. Robin Williams is not a once in a lifetime kind of character, but a once in a universe kind of spirit, that's impossible to replicate. We should all be grateful he ever spawned this earth and entertained our souls for the sake of laughter. We're not worthy. May his spirit have finally found peace. Rest In Peace, Robin Williams.
The day we lost robin was the day we lost a national treasure! He was a brilliant actor and just an amazing comedian! The day he left us the old picture of the sad clown took a new meaning
I'm so humbled by this interview. No idea the pain within. None. No doubt, one of the best actors of my generation. (60) I actually adored him...No, never met him. His last interview was so "relatable" for millions of people. Talk about courage. He never let people know that his life was spiraling out of control. "Mork & Mindy" I still watch today. We laugh like stupid people 😂 Best show of my youth. "Friends" is another. Thank you for taking the time to reveal the truth. Not an easy task, for sure. Hugs to the woman who interviewed her. Your kindness and support got Her through this "private" sit down. No one else could have been perfect. Can't believe I'm just hearing about this. I swear to God I never knew. Thanks so much for setting me straight. 😔
Bwebster86 yes those crocodile tears well I dint even see any tears but yess definitely she looks more like she’s relieved that he’s gone wow I thought I was the only one that noticed so sad 😞 I liked robin 😞
Thank you Mrs. Williams. I know it's 7 years later and far too many comments, but on the off chance you should see this, I and we so much appreciate you speaking up and giving us some true news, rather than all the conjecture. I hope you find another wonderful man like Robin was.
Totally agree I was literally looking for this comment to see if I was the only one who picked this up. With all of her dramatic moans and cries, where’s the tears?
This is an year later. I think she is holding tears back. I don’t think she would cry out loud, you don’t know how she did react when she found out he did suicide
Susan Williams is not the actor her husband was. She's "crying" but no tears are falling. If she had loved him she would have been a good stepmother to his children following his tragic suicide, not drag them through court for the sake of money.
BluesLicks101 I imagine you are the type who vents through cursing people. I say things as I see it and am not going to let fear inhibit my life. Sorry.
I don't NEED to imagine, you have proven you are the type who vents through cursing people like this sad widow. I say things as I see it: YOU ARE A DEMONIC HYPOCRITE!
Gotta love all the micro expressions and expressions cracking through that mask of her's. ... Just pause the video and go frame by frame and you'll see what I mean
Hard to believe it will be 6 years since his passing this August. I just can't imagine the pain & fear this wonderful kind hearted soul must of been going thru in the last few months of his life. His was one of the rare celeb deaths I had a good cry over. We still miss you Robin. Bangarang oh captain my captain, See you in Neverland !!
I went through suicide attempts so many times and it was all the same way Robin did it. I would go to work with stress marks all over my neck and people were taking notice. It got to the point where I had to go to the mental hospital and I am currently taking medications for that. I just fear that one day I will die the same way he did. There are days when the suicidal thoughts still linger.
But he also had Parkinson’s and Lewy body dementia so I’m guessing he couldn’t bare the thought of loosing himself. I’m not saying your experience isn’t bad btw, I’m just saying he didn’t kill himself because of the depression but all of what he was doing through
Robin Williams brought so much laughter to so many people. Gone, but never forgotten. Rest in Peace Robin WIlliams. Some of the best interviews was on David Letterman and Johnny Carson. Miss you Robin
@@lisafanucchi5939 Honestly - how would you have her act? Everyone reacts to things in their own way. We all grieve differently. We all have different ways of coping in certain situations - like being interviewed on national TV. You shouldn't judge. I think we should just be compassionate about the lady's loss and leave it at that. I mean no harm toward you. It's just an observation.
He gave all of himself, to a world that often didn't understand him, and rarely knew how much he suffered. His comedy was full of love, compassion and wisdom, so many thought it was just funny.
I have been married for years and when my wife leaves for work she always gives a hug and kiss before leaving. Something about her makes me fell like she is hiding something.
Robin had sleeping problems as I read. He even slept in another bedroom. What was found in his blood are several things (was made public). Finasteride and other stuff was found in his body. Fin is against prostate issues or hair loss. Hm, is there any connection between the things found in his blood and the suicide?
I was thinkinf thw same . like dont you say bye to your significant other ?!? ... And howd he hang himself if she says he was in bed . . somethings jus not right ..
