Thankfully the Coli does not represent real life (or other more adult centric spaces), bc this topic has come up thousands of times before. This is not some revelation i or anyone else is making. If you don’t know how and why ‘passed away’ is different from ‘die’ you my friend are clueless

Why I Don’t Say ‘Passed Away’ When Someone Dies

‘Passing away’ language doesn’t do justice to the power of our enemy or the promise of our hope.

There are countless individual quirks in the house style guides of most media companies: Some italicize website names; others only do that for print publications; some believe wholeheartedly in the clarity only an Oxford comma provides; others don’t give a fukk about an Oxford comma. But one...

I’m not talking about him killing himself. I’m saying that losing your parents can do a number on you. There is NOTHING mentally weak about being crushed that your mom and/or dad passed away. Nothing.

Yep. Lost my pops in April and it’s rough

I’m not suicidal or totally unable to function but it’s given me all types of physical symptoms from anxiety which I’ve never had before like internal tremors, twitching numbness, feeling like I’m choking when I’m about to sleep etc

Grief/anxiety can really do a number on you not just mentally but physically also

I thought I was doing ok mentally too but I guess I just surpressed it and kept it inside to be able to function and that’s not healthy

Find someone to talk to man, whether it be a family member you trust or a therapist. Someone non judgemental and objective. Your reaction is normal and valid. Good luck and be well.

Sometimes those 60 minutes of football can be therapeutic for players. It can be sports, work, alcohol, even sex. Just anything to get away from whatever people are going through. But eventually you have to face reality. that game is gonna end. That work shift is over. I just wish that Kneeland had one teammate or person or coach he could have reached out to. Of course I'm assuming that he felt alone in this.

He definitely had teammates he could have went to but some people just keep it bottled up and act like everything is alright. People also don't wanna feel like a burden to others. It's unfortunate. The stigma with mental health needs to change. Especially for men.

Dak and Solomon Thomas both have foundations for mental health awareness and have both lost loved ones to suicide.

This news really has me messed up right now. As I've said before, I lost my mother. I also deal with mental health issues. This is just a tragic situation.

Best advice I can give you is to make sure you grieve the loss. Don't hold your emotions in. Let it out. It doesn't make you weak or any less of a person.

Lean on your loved ones as well. Do your best to live a life that would honor your pops and make him proud. Just take it one day at a time. You never get over the loss but in time it does get easier to cope with if that makes sense.

This tragic news still doesn't sit right with me because people can have it all, yet they may feel their life isn't worth living anymore.
