It was a sad day on Aug 11, 2014 when the world lost funny man Robin Williams.

However…He was struggling…terribly.

Now his widow – Susan Schneider Williams has written a personal essay about what they went through and what she has learned. She ends her essay saying, “Hopefully from this sharing of our experience you will be inspired to turn Robin’s suffering into something meaningful through your work and wisdom.” She goes on to write, “It is my belief that when healing comes out of Robin’s experience, he will not have battled and died in vain.”
