Robin Williams was a cocaine addict and alcoholic since the Mork-n-Mindy days in the 70s. He had 35+ years of partying hard, “experimenting” with all kinds of drugs.

In the later years he concurrently was on many prescription psycho drugs...anything money could buy.

Is it possible that 35+ years of a life of drugs known to destroy people’s minds is getting a free pass here by blaming LBD? Note how the plea is for a cure to LBD ... not a plea for changes in lifestyle to prevent it.

Is is possible that the widow is just a little dishonest?

I have an immediate relative (religious, no booze, no drugs) with LBD.

My point is to throw your head back, grab, hug, laugh and enjoy while you can.

Agreed. Further, I’ve seen this man in control of his mind (if you can call it that) be the most vile and venal human one can imagine when it comes to his liberal positions and the hatred he had for conservatism and Republicans. I stopped being actively interested in anything he did since his M&M days, actually - and that was a big stretch on my personal tastes that was ameliorated by the lovely Pam Dawber.

And finally, I commiserate with his wife, certainly, but I think there is an air of the dramatic here in how she describes his decline and her turmoil. However, I certainly wouldn’t call that disease a ‘terrorist’. Most of the people in her or her deceased husband’s circle, like Obama, refuse to call almost anything terrorism. Why choose that word here? Because it was ‘catchy’ and novel?

It’s possible, not probable,however. My Dad is 84, a retired physicist and a non smoker who never used any type of drugs and had only an occasional beer.

This article is a very good primer for the uninformed on the horrors of Lewy Body disease which Dad was diagnosed with about three years ago.

The difference between the two stories is faith. My Dad is embracing God’s plan for the end of his life. He settled all of his affairs when he was still able, and now he waits, in peace, for the Lord to take him home.

I pray for RW’ s wife and any family faced with this diagnosis.

I agree and will add this;

Robin Williams worshipped at the altar of Robin Williams. He saw his altar and all of the false hope that it offered crumbling down before him. Parkinson’s Disease in a brutal foe but I have seen several good men face it with courage through faith in Jesus Christ.

Robin Williams wife did a good job with a dramatic writing which was penned to ease her pain of him murdering himself by blaming a “terrorist” which is the only hope she has without salvation through Jesus Christ.
