A woman has shared the story of how Robin Williams comforted her at an airport following her husband's suicide. In a post made on <a href="https://themighty.com/2016/12/robin-williams-comforts-woman-at-lax-after-husbands-suicide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Mighty</a>, writer Kate Lyon Osher spoke about how, after her husband Greg took his own life following a lengthy struggle with his mental health, she decided to take a sabbatical and travel around the world to scatter his ashes. However, at LAX airport, she was detained by security who almost forced her to dump her husband's ashes away, which made Osher feel hysterical.

In the article in question, Osher wrote: "A soft voice stated: 'Miss, I just want to be sure you are OK. I see you are traveling alone, and I saw what happened, and I just really want to be sure you are OK.' "Through my tears, I could place the voice but couldn't actually believe Robin Williams was just casually strolling through LAX and would actually take the time to stop to see if I was OK." [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/katelyonosher/status/1008152696908668928]] She added that Williams told her: "'Addiction is a real b****. Mental illness and depression are the mother of all b******. "'I am so sorry for all the pain your husband was in. I'm so sorry for the pain you are in now. But it sounds like you have family and friends and love. And that tips the scale a bit, right?'" It turned out that Williams was actually taking the same flight as Osher, and after giving her his sage words of wisdom, he made her laugh by joking irreverently about the security guard who caused her such trouble. <img class=" wp-image-1263097542" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/03/PA-1685658.jpg" alt="" width="408" height="647" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Alamy/PA Images]] Williams, who was open about his own mental health struggles with depression and suicide ideation, took his own life in 2014 after being misdiagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
