We lost two tremendously talented creative people this week in eerily similar ways. While there are about as many reasons for taking one’s life as there are who do so, brain research shows a strong link between high levels of creative intelligence and depression. Some sufferers just get exhausted from the struggle of managing this condition, and their creativity can make a strong argument for letting go. I suppose in those last few moments of agony, they lose sight that depression is typically finite pain.
We treasure Anthony and Kate’s gifts, their legacy, and our hearts are with their loved ones as they struggle to understand and carry on.
