Walter Koenig's Son is Missing!

[Amaris]

Why did he go to Vancouver to commit suicide?

Vancouver was apparently an old stomping ground of his, and he felt at home there. At least I think that's why. People who are suicidal tend to tie up loose ends, as much as one can, before they commit the act. I just wish he could have been brought around.

Also, my condolences to his family and friends.

My condolences to his parents and family. Such a tragic thing for parents to loose their child.

It also speaks to the character of the Koenig family that at this time, they are thinking about others, still, in that they wanted to include the information to help others battling with depression and thoughts of suicide.

Andrew was a man who cared deeply about others, and who acted on his conscience... working on a grass roots level to help those in need.

To honor him and his life, we are suggesting people donate in Andrew's memory to

the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline

http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/GetInvolved/Donate.aspx

or US Campaign for Burma .

Condolences to the family.

I have been diagnosed with clinical depression. It's a horrible illness, that has many and varying symptoms. Thoughts of ending your life are common and you find yourselves planning for it. I realised that I needed help when I found myself standing on a bridge ready to throw myself in. As I stood there I thought of my younger brothers and sisters and my god-daughters. The thought of missing out on them growing up changed my mind. I am so glad that I did. Life is too precious to throw away.
Since then I have sought help. From family, friends and my fantastic Doctor. I still take my anti-depressants and have regular group counselling sessions. I'm not cured, but I don't feel the way I did before. I have a newe vigour and a different outlook on life.
If any of you feel that you are suffering from depression, seek help. Don't bottle it up. There are people out there who love you and care for you. You may not think it but there are. Go to your doctor, talk to your family and friends. They can and will help you. If you need someone to talk to that you think understands, please private message me.

Yes it's vital that you seek help don't throw your life away isn't that right hope this doesn't offend anyone.
