  • Thank you Mariel Hemingway

  • amazing. 

  • I think a person's heart and spirit shows. She is still as youthful and beautiful as always.

  • The losses to your family and the world from this huge problem really strikes home with me. As an artist and a sufferer, I know that everyone has to find their own key to survive suicidal thoughts and impulses. Even drugs sometimes cannot help, and I believe it is because they don't help you find that key. I admire your courage in working with this issue... in my own experience the stigma is so irrational, as irrational as suicide itself. I really believe that. The stigma is irrational.
