Late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington’s ex-wife Samantha posted on Facebook a couple of weeks ago:
Before I fall asleep I would like to share this…
In our long travels we have been recognized on the plane & at our hotel & people from all over the world loved Chester & love all of us so much.
I’ve cried in public, we have shared hugs, hand shakes, and a ton of love from all ages, races, & religions.
The point I’m wanting to make is LOVE is the universal language!
Thank you to everyone we know & don’t know for sending love out because that connects us all & the ripple effect it does for us as humans & the planet is remarkable!
This is a message to continue to love not only when there is a tragedy!
I have a message that I truly believe came from Chester & he asked me to share with everyone & this now is my message to the world from him….
“Once you do it, you can never come back”!
Suicide is not the answer & your never alone! I feel like no one understands me, I’ve been facing fear, I do not like being in large masses of people, I’m raw, I’m venerable, I’m over protective mama bear, & so much more right now… I’m pretty fucked up actually!
I will not let him or anyone else die in vein!
My son & I have a lot to say & we will do our best to be there for you as you are there for us.
If you are thinking that this is an option, it’s not!
Again, I truly believe Chester himself wants me to tell the world & I will over & over again!
“Once you do it, you cannot come back”!
Strong message & thank you Chester!
So to anyone thinking this is your way out please hear what your favorite singer wants you to know, what my son & I want you to know!
Listen, humans are fragile. Be kind & love.
Walk away from people who are cruel & if that means everyone & you will be alone ., then walk away because letting go of negativity allows positivity to come into your life. You just made room for the good people and created a space for them to join you in your life. You always have a choice!! It pains me to know that my ex husband was so unhappy that he felt this was his only option.
“Once you go, you cannot come back”.
Good night & I do look forward to being a voice for him & others. Draven wants to be as well. Through this we will all get through this together! Keep up the love!
I love you, Draven loves you., it’s all of you out there that are keeping us going & I thank you as a mother, a friend, a human, & even a stranger. Thank you.
