Steve Iselin served in the Navy for 20 years. After his retirement, he began to look for another job. That is whenhe began feeling hopeless. He said,“I had a great sense of dread every day. Agony is another word that comes to mind.I didn’t want to do anything that I would normally like to do. I had no interest in seeing other people.” Steve Iselin didfind a job.

After Robin Williams’ death, the American Foundation for the Prevention of Suicide released a statement.The foundation said Mr. Williams: “brought laughter into every life he touched; Robin also suffered fromdepression. 40 Every 13 minutes someone dies from suicide, and it is among the top ten causes of death in theU.S.” The group said more needs to be done to prevent suicides.
