I’m so glad to hear that she is reaching out. That she called and said “please come see me” is one of the best thing you can do when you are in pain. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This!
😔😭🙏🙏🙏
Ouch, breaks my heart
This is so true. My mom died on January 14th after being admitted into the hospital. I wouldn't speak to anyone via text, call, or social media.
I didn't go with my siblings to identify her body. I didn't go with them to set up her funeral arrangements. I literally could not do it.
Her funeral was yesterday and that is when I realized that I needed my family. My pain wasn't just my own because I felt like I was hurting more than anyone else. I saw the same pain I am feeling within so many in attendance. I wasn't alone. I was able to laugh for the first time in three weeks because I was surrounded by my friends and family.
I wish Regina well because this is going to be a long and extremely hard journey. I lost my mom, but I cannot imagine losing one of my children.
@@janellejulianajoy I can relate seeing the pain in others when my loved ones passed (mother and baby brother at different times). One friend said to me when my brother passed away that "your loss is our loss". That really teared me up because I knew that my brother was highly admired and would be missed. I could see the pain and hurt on everybody when my mother passed away. It just reminded me how much she was loved and respected. I couldn't see neither one of them laying in a casket. I just want to have a vision of them living, so I didn't view their dead body.
Not only is she loved by the community of black actors but the Black Community at large! Everyone is sending our love and prayers to her❤️ . My heart aches and I never met Ian. I’m sure she is still in shock so hoping her family and friends keep her near!
We also love her in the UK 🙏🏾
Yeah that's only part that was missing..Everybody in African American community looks at Ms.Regina King like family..
My Heart Is Aching For Regina King,It's So Tragic How She Lost Her Son. RIP Ian Alexander Jr. 🙏🏽☁️🕊😩😔😞😪😪😪😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Rhonda Clark from her White fans also Neal mike
My God! Thanks for sharing the information Vivica and I know it's hard for you too. So sorry for your friend's loss. I love Regina's as an actress, my heart aches for her 🙏🙏 may God wrap his arms around her and her family at this time of bereavement
My uncle (rip) always told us “Your presence can do what your words can’t” sometimes ppl don’t need words, simple presence can mean the world
Facts!
Amen
That's so true...thank u for pointing that out 🙏🏾
This
Wise man 🙏🏾
Vivica has me tearing up. My prayers are with Regina King and her family. Wow this is unimaginable. Just completely heartbreaking 💔
Same
They are real friends.
Toughest thing to ever have to go through. Deepest condolences to Ms.King.
Thank you Vivica - you hugged her for all of us.
I'm the mother of an only child myself....And I really wanted to just hug her all weekend....so Amen to that sis....Amen
As African Americans, we have got to take care of our mental state. Rest in Heaven Ian and all my loving prayers to Regina and her family & friends.
Yes
We do and hit it from all areas. My mother used to tell me to "just pray about it". I would do that too but I wasn't afraid to go get help or take medication. I am looking for a therapist now to work through some things. We have to stop trying to be super men and super women and we have to support those who are having a hard time and take it seriously.
We must create our own network & stop relying on others 2 understand our unique walk.
Traditional Psy & Counseling does not allow a space 4 the presence of GOD in the implementation of treatment so it still seems cold & uncomfortable 2 Black people.
@@meewannabe2525 Not every black person believes in God and speaking for myself, traditional therapy and medication brought me out of a deep postpartum depression. God made medicine and psychiatrists and therapists. What works for a person works.
I'm confused why do Christians teach suicide is unforgivable ?? U said he's in heaven. Which one is it?
Vivica, thank you for being there for Regina. You are a genuine friend.
Yes
I love Vivica her and Regina have always been homegirls from the pictures in magazines. Thx you, Vivica for what you’ve said. We love Regina and thx you for letting us know. We continue to pray for her…
EVERYBODY loves Regina King..... This is truly heartbreaking. ..... Prayers going up!
she's so pure and humble
Ive loved Regina since I was 7 years old. I HATE that she has to go thru this 😞 Im praying for everybody.
I have always loved her too. I just felt she is one of the genuine ones and is beautiful inside and out.
Vivica thank you for telling us she feels our prayers. We have been praying for her. My husband said yesterday I just wish I could call her. We don't know her personally but we hope she feels our prayers. Your words assured me she feels our prayers.
This broke my heart. I can’t imagine what she’s going through. Condolences to Regina King, their family and everyone who loved her son Ian. I pray God gives them strength and love and I hope this help others find help and reach out to the ones we know are struggling. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Everyone female needs a friend like you Vivica. You are the truth. I lost a friend to suicide when I was 17. She was also 17. I cried hysterically and had to be sent home. I'm 46 and still cry when I think about the pain I felt when her death was announced at school. I can't imagine a mother losing her son this way. R.I.P. Sandra and Ian Jr.
Prayers
:(
Yes !! I Love how Vivica stated what Regina said, and what she experienced nothing but Love @ Regina place, and Vivica was Very Careful not to bring up Nothing Negative, not even Mentioning way he passed away.. I m sure Regina, don’t want keep hearing that and even people continually speaking on it …
The pain is real and only our love and prayers will see her through ❤
So sorry for your loss Erika, sending you strength and love🙏🏿thank you for sharing❤️
I felt the pain as spoke Vivica. It was written all over her face eyes I can’t stop crying myself
As a mother of a only child (son). COVID is no joke. Texting and wrapping supporter on your child every agent every stage is no joke. Feeling like you were responsible and accountable for your child no matter what age is no joke.
I don’t know Regina King. I grew up with her on the screen small and big. I’ve always found her to be real. My heart goes out to her at all of her family and friends.
🫂🫂🫂🫂
We all need to be there for each other. That’s what life is about 🙏🏾
God bless you ❤
I loss my dad to suicide 07-21-18. Losing someone to suicide is a different type of conviction; felt so guilty and blindsided by his actions. You never get over the heartbreak but I’ve finally forgiven myself for not seeing the signs..peace,light and love to Regina and rest for Ian’s soul ❤️❤️❤️
Sending you light and love. I understand
I had a friend that committed suicide. You always think how did you miss the signs
I’m so sorry. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@JacqlynCharles my condolences 🙏🏾
I've struggled for twenty years with suicidal ideology, feeling lack of self worth. After many years of therapy and spiritual evolution I took the idea of the table. As we mature we can learn skills to be at peace with life. Just remember you aren't responsible for his pain and I'm sure he loved you in his own way, spirit is everlasting he's now a peaceful spirit.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I lost my husband to suicide. I carried the guilt for decades. My heart goes out to Regina King. I feel her pain. I know her pain. The only suggestion I have for those who are close to her as time goes on is don't talk about anything or ask anything related to her son unless she initiates the conversation. try to help her stay busy. Everyone deals with it differently. Any death of a loved one is devastating! God Bless her!
Praying for you 🙏🏽. Is not your fault
Damn smh
This is why people have to be kind to others stop bullying. You never know when you may be the person that will push someone over the edge. I know how it feels to get pushed close to the edge you hurt and all you want is peace and just to be happy. I've lived my whole life afraid of people because of the hurt endured by certain groups of individuals. I just have to keep knowing that GOD has my back and be strong. I have no friends at all and it sucks sometimes but I still just keep pushing.
Bullying will never end. As long as there are a bunch of damaged people in this world, we will have bullying. Hurt people hurt people. I think we need to rethink social media. It is very damaging for everyone but particularly those who are already in a fragile state of mind.
I pray that you continue to be encouraged. And I hate to hear all that you've had to endure but it seems like you have come out on the other side. Prayerfully you can be blessed with the right friends in due season if that's your desire. But continue to hang in and on to the anchor that holds.🙏🏾 be blessed and encouraged
Same. I have no friends but I realize now that its God's protection. The friends I did have treated me like we were enemies. Bad things happen to make us draw closer to God.
I have no idea who you are but I can be your friend if you like. Although, the only true friend you need is God and yourself..your comment really touched me..May God Bless you for a continued healing 🙏 ❤
❤️🙏🏽 Stay strong..You got this!!
Looking back at some of Regina's interviews her love for her son was incredible. We have to lift her up in prayer. Vivica is right COVID has created another nightmare, a rise in suicide. This social distancing is not easy for some people, we got to check on each other.
Vivica Fox shared a very important thing and that is when you see or hear of anyone in distress and needing that support be there. Too many people are checking out of here. Mental health is so important and needs to be addressed more.
I’m glad Vivica was able to share a personal account of how Regina is doing. All we can do is pray for her AND Ian Sr. as well as the family. I know Regina is well known but we must acknowledge the father as well. He must be devastated too. God bless them. Thank you Vivica for gracefully correcting Claudia on the pronunciation.
Yes , she did it so Sweet and Loving and Claudia received the correction with a humbly Grace💕💕😃
All you can do is just be there for her without saying anything, there are no words good or bad that can help her right now, just let her cry cry cry and cry, she has lost a part of her, her son was her life...God Will Help her thru this very difficult time...Love you Vivica, Syleena, Lisa Raye and Claudia...This is being shared from a mother with a Son as an only child, and I have been praying for Regina, but I don't know the pain she is feeling right now and forever.😢😢😢❤️
Ivra Porter thank you for what you said. You are absolutely right all anyone can do is just be there without saying anything. Sometimes people just don't understand. Just let them grieve and cry and cry. Again thank you for your message. God bless you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Not a single word. My sister lost her son almost 15 years ago. There was a point that after the shock wore off that she became very distant from us. We just held our position and she eventually came back. I think it was just too painful for her. Even after 15 years, I see her struggle at times with the loss of her son.
@@gigilamoore2656 ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️
@@vickismith154 you are so very welcome Vicki, I'm praying for her strength, as she will need it in the days to come...
Amen! You don't have to say anything. Just be there; your presence alone will bring some comfort. I know this from a past experience from a dear friend who lost her only daughter to cancer. I asked my Pastor ; how do I console her? What do I say? My pastor advised-say nothing. Just be there for her.🙏🏾❤
Mental illness needs to be discussed in the black community I work in this field and it is happening more and more God bless her and her family.❤️
My heart truly breaks for Regina, his dad and the entire family!!
This one is hard to watch. Vivica is so vivacious and upbeat. To see her like this hurts to watch.
Totally agree😢💔
Wanted to send my deepest condolences Mrs King I know how you feel my youngest daughter was 19 when she jumped off the bridge and took her own life she says she didn't want to live here because the world was too cruel and she didn't want to bring any kids in this world and it's been 16 years right now it feels like it was just yesterday so I know how she feels
Praying for you 🙏🏽
@joyce miller, I am sending you love and light! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
May the Lord continue to cover you and give you peace and continued healing
It's sad. Under that bright smile in photos with his mom was a young man in despair.
As a mother who is confronting this situation daily, thinking today could be the day ! It can make you feel lost and shamed in the black community. Time and time you are told they are grown.Ask for help you are ignored, family and friends don’t want to talk about it, or even be associated with the situation ! I just want to scream 🗣Pray your family story will get us to take a closer look at what we take for granted 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾♥
I too as a mother have a son that has mental illness. I feel the same way you do. Wondering is the day going to be the day. I pray ms. King, yours and my strength in the Lord. May God continue to bless you and keep you
I've personally felt like that in the past. We need to be better educated, in the black community, as far as mental illness. There's such a negative stigma associated with mental illness. Forget about what people think! Get yourself or your loved one the help they need! Hope, everything works out💜
I’m lifting you up in prayer. I’ve been through it and you are not alone. You are not alone! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 mental health is real.
@@BriaBarrows Amen 🙏🏾 you got that right I feel like most ppl don’t understand it until it happens to someone they love.
YEEEEESSSS
This pain is all to real for me!!! I have lived this pain and still living it this day. I lost my son 1 day before his 24th birthday on my oldest son birthday to suicide on 9/17/2020. Yes my son’s birthday are 4 years and 1 day apart. There is NOTHING anyone can say that will help stop the pain…but you can just be there!!! Just be there!!! Just be there to listen to us breath, cry, scream, pray, talk out loud… just be there!!! Only thing you can do is to be there!!!!! Don’t try to stay anything to console her because you can’t! I’ve heard the nastiest things and people really thought they were helping me but they were not they only hurt me with their words..and I had to keep my mouth closed about it because I knew they were coming from a good place. But when you asked the MOTHER/ME how did he die and wanted me to give you details that crossed the line. For people to asked me how didn’t I not know….(in so many words) after I had said over and over and over again I had no clue my son would take his life, for someone to asked me insensitive questions…how people came around me just to get close to me just to get information. How people sit and judged me and my child….man people are sick and don’t have a heart……I can go on and on about what I’ve been through. My son left behind 2 beautiful daughters that I can’t see because of “HATE and jealousy. BUT GOD!!!! I’m still here!!!! I cry for Regina, I cry for myself. Hearing this news about Regina and her son is a mirror of what Im going through. I cover Regina, Ian’s dad Ian Sr. their families and friends with prayers of love, peace, understanding, strength, I pray the blood of Jesus cover their mind!!!! What God done for me and still doing for me…GOD WILL DO THE SAME FOR REGINA🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 i prayer that God gives peace to our sons spirit so they can rest in it!!!
My love and prayers to you. Thx for sharing your testimony to help us know how to support others during such a difficult time. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
I took the time to read your entire message and I send my love and condolences to you and your family. I've experienced so much loss in a short amount of time but I couldn't imagine losing my babies. Strength becomes you if you allow it. Peace slowly becomes you if you allow it. Remember the great times and grieve when your sad no one can tell you what or how to feel. God is real and he makes no mistakes even when you question him and ask or wonder WHY???
There's a place of love, peace and kindness beyond the sky and those we loose rest near angels just for God to see BLESSINGS🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😘
Sending you so much love. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
Sending you love, Pam.
I'm crying as I watch and read this. I know the feeling of not wanting to be here. Thankfully I sought help.
Like everyone has already shared, there are no words. Her only son, their closeness, the fact that she's on top of the world right now. HOW do you survive after this?
Very Very Difficult!!!!
Thru pray 🙏 and conversation
Prayer and God
Yeah I just lost my baby 16years she was my ride or die 🐕 and believe me no words and quiet time is important my prayers go out to Regina King I grew up watching her
My deepest condolences to you and your family.
@@OcelotlAlma13 Thank you for your kind words
Thank you Vivica for sharing her thoughts. This makes me so sad.
Good job Queens for your respectful
Words. Condolences to Regina and family. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾May he rest well
This is so sad. Peace and comfort to Regina, Ian's Dad, extended family and friends.
So sad. So very sad. I pray that "PEACE STANDS STILL" for Regina and her entire family. 🙏🏽🕊
This story just breaks my heart. It brought me to tears when I first heard it. I remember always seeing her and her son together. Praying that God continues to cover & strengthen Regina & Ian Sr. and all the family & friends. May they be surrounded with love & peace!!
Sisters you know what we gotta do just have her in group prayers! I'm hurting. And I have a 36 year old I was conversating about it. And she said to me, mom social media has fucked this generation up. She said she suffers from depression and she broke down. I'm scared to death y'all. We gotta keep our kids in prayer.
I agree social media has messed up a lot of people..It's very addictive and can have deadly consequences 😕
As we have seen and heard so many times..RIP, young man..
She is correct.
This was so painful to watch. Hearing Vivica’s crying as she talks about her Regina and the loss of her son Ian is heartbreaking. I grew up watching Regina and watching her career growth. Her son was her heart her everything. One interview she talked about almost refusing to take a role because it dealt with the character losing her son. Really sad. My condolences to her and the family.🕊🙏🏾
When Viv started crying it took me put. I was on the brink the whole story L.Raye had me but Viv.... I'm in tears now. I'm so sorry Regina is experiencing this pain.
I 've watched her grow up and watched her glow with her fist pregnancy. Then I watched her show the world her first pride and joy. And we all watched him grow up in front of our eyes. When I read about his death, I busted crying like he was my real nephew that past on. My heart and condolences to Ms. Regina and to the whole family.
I don’t know her personally but I was sad for her. Glad you were there for her Vivica. That’s what true friends do.
Im glad those posts were taken down, I noticed alot of celebrities have not posted and thats a good thing, everything is not a moment for social media.
My son will be 16 this year..He’s my only baby. My soul hurts for her. It also makes me scared as a mom…RIP YOUNG KING❤️
Grieving is never forgetting, it's remembering with less pain. Amen to everything Vivica said! Prayers up for Regina and her family.
Having experienced a few mental breakdowns and a suicide urge in 2016, what stopped me is knowing what I haven’t accomplished yet + knowing my mom would’ve had the toughest time grieving. Black women have it hard already; I personally couldn’t do that to mine. Mental illness is real. As tragic as this was, I hope this spreads more awareness of mental health discussions in the Black community. I’m sending healing energy to Regina King and anyone who’s lost someone to suicide 🙏🏽
Thank you for that last line, for reaching out to others. Thank you. God bless you.
My deepest condolences. Sending prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My heart breaks 💔 & aches for Regina King . Sending my condolences 💐 to her & her family. As a Suicide Attempt survivor I can only imagine how Ian was feeling. Mental health/Mental illness is real an someone who battles with Clinical Depression (Major depressive disorder) an Anxiety it’s not easy . Be kind you never really know what’s going on in a persons mind. Let’s start Normalizing therapy & to my Black Queens/Kings out there It’s Ok To Not Be Ok. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health.
Amen
@@BriaBarrows Yes 🙌🏾 love I know the feeling all too well it breaks my heart that her son took his life.
@@stephenchristian3636 I know 💔 I started therapy this year and I intend on staying. We gotta take care of our minds. Be well. ♥️
@@BriaBarrows Amen to that Love ❤️!!! It’s such a blessing to be a Mental health
Advocate an help others as well as myself
I feel like this is one of the worst ways to lose someone. :(
It is. I lost my brother last june 3 days after his 20th birthday. When Syleena said there's no one to blame...it brought he back to the very moment again .
@@Londiwe.B my condolences 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am a Psych NP and am so glad that Vivica talked about the need for more mental health support in our community. My prayers to Regina King. If I may offer a book to support families who have lost someone to suicide, please consider the book“ Dying to be Free.”
Vivica knows EVERYBODY in Hollywood and she made me cry 😢
She will never be without pain for the rest of her days on this earth!!!! She lost her ONE and ONLY child!!!!! It’s a nightmare she living right now she loved her child with all of her soul…. Prayers GOD bless her and GOd give her peace death is so final suicide leaves no closure…Lord prayers to her and her entire family 💙🙏🏽
It's sad it's really sad 😥 no Parent should have to bury their Child and my heart goes out to her and her Family she and her Family are in my prayers 🙏.
This is beyond devastating. People really need to take men's mental health seriously. Mental health is the #1 biggest SILENT killer in men. Condolences to Regina and her family 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊
I find that selfish when kid's take they life knowing the parents has to deal with that smh
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc Please some research on psychology. The last thing on their minds is how the next person feels.
@@rayecaters2u you right sis my fault I think we should just check on are family's and kid's and see how there doing
People need to take Mental Health Serious for EVERYONE!! Not just men..women and children, young and old deal with these Traumas
Soooo sad, praying for Regina. And family .I can't imagine this heartache 😢😢😢
Prayers!! I didn't want to believe it when I heard about her son passing away. I'm praying tons for Regina no parent should have to bury their child. 🙏🙏🙏
That was very touching and emotional..When Vivicia Fox, starting crying, I cried right along with her. It's very sad. I can imagine the pain, hurt Regina King is feeling as a mother..My Condolences! May, he RIP 🙏
Sending prayers of comfort and strength to Regina King and all that knew and loved Ian. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Vivica is the real deal. Love her.💗
Blessings for bringing more awareness to suicide prevention. We need more resources dedicated towward this.
Wow... this is so sad. I'm so glad that she reached out to Vivica. At least we know that she's not alone. The loss of a child to suicide must be DEVASTATING. Regina is our beautiful queen and we will hold her up as long as she needs us. So sorry for her loss.
Wow This is Powerful Ladies! Thank you for coming together and Supporting Regina in this difficult time! 🙏🙏🙏
I’ve watched Regina King since 227 and I’ve followed her on all her movies and more I’m praying 🙏🏾 God Bess you 🙏🏾❤️
Silence is what she needs 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
People can seem okay and not showing any signs of depression and just putting the best out when deep inside they are troubled. So tragic my sincerest condolences. ❤️
Yes true. Probably Alex had been used on drugs
Thanks Fox Soul for caring and sharing . Thanks Vivica for crying for your friend and my tv friend. I was able to cry 2. Now I can't stop but Thanks! for turning car around and giving support. Hearing your support is the closest I can get to Regina. Hug her for me. Love from Beverly
Vivica you have the sweetest soul. We all are so bless to have you in the midst of all this uncertainty. May Jesus keep blessing you and keeo blessing others. Regina is very blessed to have you. I love you all my Black sisters. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤
Man that's so sad, it could be any one of us. I pray for Regina's strength, I pray for her son. Lord shower this family with love and peace. My deepest condolences 🙏🏾
I buried my 8 year old son in 1997 I will forever be in pain. 🙏🏾 for her
I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying for her and you❤️
🙏🏾
🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thank you for sharing, Vivica! I felt as if you hugged Regina King for all of us. Love, support, prayers and blessings for her and all who loved this young man.
Regina and family have my deepest condolences. I lost my nephew that same day to a hear attack, and I was the last person that he talked to. We were so close (like mother and son) and I'm truly devastated 😢 💔. We could talk about anything. He was my sister's only son and I'm gonna miss him terribly. The pain is so deep it cuts like a knife. Stay strong Regina, we're here for you. Take care
Thank you Vivica for the update.🙏🏾
Thanks for sharing that Vivica. I can't imagine what Regina King is going through and none of us know what to say to a mother going through this. I remember losing my father and the last thing I wanted to hear was condolences even though I knew the good intent behind them. Having loving and supportive people around helps and I'm happy to hear Regina has that.
I lost a friend 16yrs ago to suicide. She left behind 2 young sons and many bewildered and just crushed friends. Suicide is very mysterious because you think your person is ok, doing alright and coping with life and then you feel duped and guilty that you totally misread the person. I pray for Regina and the Father of Ian that they will one day find some semblance of peace knowing they did their best by Ian. It is a matter for God now. Only God can comfort and support them at such a time as this. Keep praying for the family and circle of friends to be able to cope as they prepare to say goodbye to Ian. God Bless everyone!
Thank you, ,for sharing and blessing with your kind words of your great friend. We love you all. Prayers and love to her and her family
Sending Big Condolences from the UK to Regina King...Tears is flooding from my 💓 to her entire family...Also Thanks to all the Queen's for such a touching tribute during this very sad times for Regina.
Let’s remember you don’t have to be suicidal to commit suicide. Sometimes people snap in the moment. One thing can set you down a fast spiral. This is why mental strength is important as mental health. We all have to rally around all these mothers and parents who have lost their child and be mindful of our post and all our things. She loved on her son every chance she got. I can only think I’m sad that it couldn’t overcome the problem that Bringsforth suicide . In my prayers. For sure.
Amen
There is a reason why this is such a great show. These queens are truly what we need. They show such humility, compassion and authenticity. Sending all of these beautiful souls love. Vivica, you are THAT friend. ❤️❤️
Thanks Vivica for sharing. We may be at a loss for words but your presence and a hug is insurmountable. A true friend lady. Prayers of strength and divine love to you Regina and family.
This really hurts my heart. I lost my brother in-law to suicide in 2016 and my sister died in an accident last May. I feel terrible that my niece is here without her parents. I don’t know the reason why and I just try to move forward but it still hurts.
This made me cry
This was a touching segment. Sending nothing but love to Regina and her family. Suicide and mental illness is such a serious thing that does impact our community and I'm passionate about it because I struggle with it. It is so important to simply be kind to people because you really don't know what they are going through.
Thank you my beautiful sistas for sharing this with us. We are not celebrities but we care love and support anyone who has lost a child. This was beautiful hearing Lisa, Vivica all yall speak so real and from the heart.
My heart goes out to Regina ………our babies gotta know that death is permanent …the problem temporary ….
A parents worse nightmare. So much love and prayers to the King family 😥
Everytime, I see a post, story or anything related to her loss, I cry. Breaks my heart! Most high, please give her comfort, peace, and understanding 😔💜
Thank you for sharing Vivica. We are sad to hear this. Prayers are sent to Regina and family.
My God! This is devastating and beyond heartbreaking. Lord we ask that you provide Regina with the peace, comfort and strength that she needs to make it through this unbelievable time. In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen. Check on your friends and families everyone. God Bless.
Maaan I can't let my dad experience this hurt. I gotta keep fighting. Gotta get in therapy. Suicidal thoughts eat me up everyday. No should have to go through this 😭😭😭
Please get the help huny,please don't let dad go through this, he will be haunted for life by guilt, thank you for sharing, please get help..❤
Vivica kept it 1000%. It is so hard these days for many people in our community. There’s so much darkness out there and it’s up to us to support those who are struggling to find the light. Regina is an icon and we truly love her and what she’s contributed to the art of film.
My prayers are with Regina. I’ll never forget how humble she was to my friend that met her and had a crush on her. God will watch over her in this trying time.
This is so sad man. I can't imagine the overwhelming pain that Regina is going through. But it will get better. I promise it will.
So sad 😞 thanks Vivica and ladies for your compassion for Regina, love ❤️ her and may her son forever Rest In Peace ☮️
Amen
@@NellieKAdaba Amen 🙏🏽
It's heartbreaking. Regina King is one of my favorite actresses. 227 is one of my favorite shows. I'm still praying for her. I have Covid 19 and I'm hanging in there.
Being careful real fast in my comment. Thank You Big Sisters for showing how to Support someone we all know and Love! I KNOW YOU HAVE HER THANKS AGAIN! That's Solice enough for me. If I cried, I know you are. Your so right Lisa Ray, people need people more after.
I look at deaths as reminders. Most people take their loved ones for granted and overlook their loved ones depressive behaviors. Maybe this will help to open up peoples eyes and hearts. Really check on the people you say you care about. Checking in, is caring. 🙏🏾
I absolutely agree
Ian's passing has touched us all as a whole all around the world most of us are not actresses/celebrities but just everyday people with sensitive hearts who are extremely sensitive and compassionate about the well beings of other's in difficult times. We don't really know our favorite celebrity's on a personal level and we really don't know what goes on behind closed door's but anytime you have a child who has committed suicide you just honestly feel the burdens that weighs heavily upon the shoulder of the beloved doting parents who don't know what to do or what to say or how they could of made things different but sometimes children don't always share things with parents when they really need too. we all wanna reach out to our sisters and our brothers. in times of the most painful of sorrows. we mourn and grieve with them . I am tearfully sorry Miss Regina King RIP Ian
This message was so powerful and it needs to be continued for our community. It’s shunned upon to take medications and or seek psychological help. However, I myself was in a dark place and realized that I needed to be here for my son. Therefore I went and spoke to a therapist and started taking medication to alleviate my depression. It takes trial and error but we as a community have to stand up and say enough is enough. There is a reason why medical professionals are here so please allow them to help and educate us. Thank you for sharing this. @reginaking we support you and wrapping our arms around you and your family during this horrible time.
I lost my little brother in 2017 I know how it feels I just couldn’t imagine my only Son I pray for her peace of mind 🙏🏾
The world is heartbroken for Regina King. Heartfelt condolences. My God...
It's harder with black folks. We have so much weight on our shoulders that's it normal to overlook signs of suicide
Very true
I am so glad for the update on Ms. Regina King and Family. Like all of you Ladies said, there are no words. Just be there for support. God Bless.
So heartbreaking 💜🙏🏾 Thank you for sharing Vivica 💜
I saw first hand my grandmother crumble before my eyes and finding out the news that her son had gotten burnt up in a car accident. January 23rd 2010 marks the 12th anniversary of the death of my uncle whom I grew up under. He would've been 67. My grandmother works so hard to ensure that he as well as his siblings did not find themselves dead or incarcerated during the '70s and the '80s due the fast living and drugs. It marked the slow beginning of her decline as well as his younger brother. There's nothing more hurtful to a mother or to any loving parent who did their best to give their all to their child. I lost her in 2020 due to COVID, she lost her second oldest in 2015 due to cancer. All in the 10-year time span it seems some of the closest people I've known my whole life in the 30+ years I've been here, everything changed. May Regina and all the parents of children who are loved be blessed and find purpose in loving each other. I too am here with you in this darkest hour. ❤️
