No matter how much joy someone brings to the world, nothing shields a parent from the pain of losing a child. Martin Short has given so many of us laughter through the years, and today our hearts are simply with him and his family as they walk through unimaginable grief.
Suicide is serious. Mental health is serious. And the pain people carry is often deeper than we realize. Let this be more than just a headline. Let it move us to check on one another, to speak with kindness, and to take mental health struggles seriously — in our homes, our churches, and our communities.
That poor man

There is no Godliness in Hollywood, a breeding ground for Depression, Deception, all an Illusion. Old Generatioal Demons Dwell in that Land. Seek the Lord Jesus Christ. Not the next role, cocktail Party or Red Carpet Photo Op. Keep your Children away from that Life. The Wolves are Opportunistic.
Nepo baby deaths are on the rise. Very sad. I love Mr. Short and all of his work.
