Talinda Bennington, widow of late Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington, recently appeared on the CNN special "Finding Hope: Battling America's Suicide Crisis" to discuss her experience dealing with the loss of her husband from suicide.
When asked by host Anderson Cooper if, in retrospect, she recognized some of the warning signs, she responded, "Absolutely there were. I am now more educated about those signs. They were definitely there - the hopelessness, the change of behavior, the isolation, that was all part of our daily life. Sometimes some signs were there more than others, sometimes they weren't there at all, as the case of right before he passed."
Chester Bennington was lost to suicide on July 20th, 2017.
