Stephen 'tWitch' Boss and the Grief Behind Suicide
You never know what someone is dealing with.I know we were all shocked by the tragic death of Stephen “tWitch” Boss, the happy, upbeat, always dancing DJ and co-executive producer for The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
He radiated goodness. When I spoke to Ellen this year as she said goodbye to her long-running talk show, during our long conversation, she mentioned he would be one of the people she would miss the most.Last year, around this very same time, I wrote honestly and brutally about my own struggles with suicide.
I explained that if you’re going through all that horror or have survived the nightmare of suicide, you just don’t talk about it because it's impossible to rationalize.
I never planned on writing about it, but if it helps clarify for people what is immeasurably hard to elucidate, then maybe it’s worth it.
