In a TODAY exclusive, Allison Holker sits down with Hoda Kotb and opens up about the months since her husband, Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, took his own life a few weeks before Christmas. “No one's ready for that moment and there's no one that saw this coming. No one. And that also breaks my heart, too,” she says.

I feel so bad for Allison. She had so much negative press after twitch passed. Social media is the worst. I really admire her strength. In public. What goes on in the privacy of her home. She's human. With 3 children. I can't imagine.

People mostly don’t realise they have THE depression. Or that they’re ‘struggling’ with anything worth talking about. They feel fine. Which is why ‘just talk to someone’ is rarely effective. You really never stop trusting your brain, the one you make all your decisions with, that has protected you and gotten you this far. Ideas like his grow little at a time, discarded as ridiculous, then start to make more sense. There is bravery, sadness, terror, also practicality wrapped up in how they feel. I just pray for us all that our calibration of reality always stays accurate.

No one should ever blame the wife. Most "extremely happy people" do not show how they truly feel inside. Every body still expect them to be happy and feel that they don't have worries, these people just give off so much of themselves and as the wife says, they want to be there, they feel responsible for every other person and keep their feelings to themselves. I pray she continues to receive support, she truly needs it

@rebekahwhitcomb2396 Год назад

What sucks about mental illness is what people say after a person that’s committed suicide. They say, “why didn’t he say something? If you need to talk to someone… I’m always there.” Let’s understand that it takes a huge amount of trust and vulnerability to share with people what you’re going through. When someone is ready to open and share what they are going through, people tend to give them unsolicited advice or try to figure out a solution. They don’t really sit there and actively listen. Also, another reason why far too many people don’t feel like opening about their struggles is because people are quick to ridicule and discourage the person more for feeling that way. In order to have a serious conversation about mental health problems, we need to recognize that it takes a huge amount of trust to do that.

@emilyr123 Год назад

This is a fantastic point - and in addition, often when people reach out there aren't sufficient resources to truly help them, or the resources that are available are overwhelmed and backlogged. There are so many obstacles and barriers when it comes to not only sharing your mental health struggles, but getting adequate and effective help and support. It is never as simple as just saying something.

@jbaux84 Год назад

I know for me, I feel like on top of what you said, I also feel like I’d be a burden. People already have their own worries and problems, so who am I to dump on them? Thankfully I do have a therapist I can open up to and I’m in some Facebook support groups. I also have a cousin I’m close to and we both share our struggles openly, no judgement. I’m honestly lucky to have these outlets.

@alexisangel5581 Год назад

I can relate to this! I empathize with you. My grandmother took her own life a little over two years ago and the grief still hits hard for us. She always had a dark sense of humor but it got darker after my step grandfather died from kidney cancer in 2017. My sister and I were always paranoid that she would harm herself eventually but my mom was completely blindsided by it. She was the one who found her and she has PTSD now due to it. Mental health is super important including in the older generation. I truly believe the older generations get overlooked regarding mental health and the impacts of it. I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers, love, and support for you ❤️🙏🏻

When my brother passed I always thought that when he was in so much pain God finally said “it’s ok to come home”. He was such a sensitive soul. He showed more compassion for others than what you see today. He was a light. It just became too hard for him. The coulda, woulda, shoulda can never be changed, but as they say hindsight is 20/20. It was never more true after he passed. He was in so much pain at the end. It will take years to get back to your “new normal” but my heart is with you and your beautiful family.

As someone who's coming on the third anniversary of losing someone to their mental illness, I want to stress how important it is to take time to allow yourself to heal.

My husband died suddenly 2021. As the family I knew imploded, I had to figure out the best to do for my 16 and 11-year-olds, all the while I was shattered. Along that came failures, bumps in the road and so many tears. I learned what "lean into the grief" really meant. I had to push away the toxic people who wanted nothing more than the spotlight of the loss we were living every single second of every day. I don't think he knew he wouldn't wake up, and I pray he didn't feel pain when the angels took away the center of our world, the compass in our life all in my days. Mike is guiding me and I hope I never let him down. He taught me how to love , and be loved. I hope that I give our babies just that...all of that. His memory and light are eternal.

The biggest problem I had was asking for help, never thought asking for help was a solution.

I thought I could figure things out on my own without anyone getting involved but that back fired when my “attempt” was interrupted and then EVERYONE knew what was up. That was 20 years ago and I’m ashamed to admit that those thoughts and feelings have never truly gone away. Life is sure complicated isn’t it?

They can say I can’t do stuff like that and that I should be careful to who I put trust towards but it makes me feel shame because it’s like I’m becoming a victim yet I’m treated as if I’m the problem to myself. That’s why I didn’t need anyone to teach me things that are hard for me to cope with so I only push myself to do better without having to rely on anyone. So sometimes it sucks to not being able to tell how you feel without feeling ashamed.

I hope you know that you have nothing to be ashamed about. I'm sorry to hear that you're still struggling. You are amazing to keep fighting though. Your life matters.

@BbGun-lw5vi Год назад

@@Crystal_1992 I’m really sorry you were dismissed. Is it possible some of those people just didn’t know what to say to you so it seemed like they didn’t care? Sometimes people have no idea what to say. Kind of like when a person loses a loved one and people don’t reach out because they’re afraid. I’m glad that you’re doing better now. I hope you find a friend who you can share your troubles and joys with.

Omg. Praying for Allison and her kids. Prayers to his mother and family as well. Depression is a real issue and unfortunately in the BLACK community you're told to pray it away. I'm happy Allison is part of the mental health program raising awareness. ❤ Twitch ..RIH😢😢❤❤

@holly_kalae Год назад

This woman is so strong, god bless her. Still in total shock, if anyone would tell me this was going to happen I never would believe it he was someone I associated with so much happiness and love and positivity but just goes to show you never know what someone is going through. Sending so much love and light to the family ❤🕊

Heartbreaking! I'm still praying for you and the kids, Allison! I thank you for highlighting mental health awareness while you're going through your own time of sorrow. It matters! Y'all have been such bright lights in my life! Me & my 6 yr old grandson danced with y'all often on Boss Family Workouts. I pray God continues to shine on you! RIP tWitch! ❤

He radiate happiness and joy and sunny. You couldn’t not smile when he started to talk or dance. He smiled and looked so happy when dancing. A shining light that was so bright. I wish him and his family peace of mind and soul. I have been touch also by someone that committed suicide and left 4 small children behind. I heart break is beyond measure. 🙏❤️

@wonderfulpets3828 Год назад

I've been a fan of Allison since she was on SYTYCD, and I was so happy to see her and Twitch together for many years. They were such a beautiful couple with an obvious love for each other and their kids. It's still so shocking that this happened to him. As Allison said, I hope that this tragedy opens up conversations and that somebody gets the help they need because of his story.

I think of this family so much. I lost my husband 2 years ago. I was lucky to have him 31 years. I talk to him everyday. I can't even begin to know what you are going through. You're so strong.

@evaisaiahhall 10 месяцев назад

I have watched them literally since day one on so you think you can dance. They are were the perfect couple. I cried when they got engaged, I cried when they had babies, I cried when we lost him. I love her so much and I'm praying for them all and whoever feels you are alone you aren't! We love you too speak up let someone know you can't take it anymore someone will be there please don't give up

I just went through this sorta big loss, I was pregnant with a baby girl and my 8 yr old was aware I was pregnant, so I had to explain that the baby sister he was so excited for, isn’t coming home like we wanted. I was 20 weeks pregnant. He was feeling so many things for days, but he’s learned she’s ok where she is. ❤️
